An open side storage container is also known as a:

  • Side opening storage container

 

Open side shipping containers with double doors on one end come in 20-foot, 40-foot sizes. They are also available as 40-foot High Cubes. High Cube containers are one foot higher than standard containers inside, which gives one more vertical room.

Types of Open Side Shipping Container

Full Open Side Shipping Container

The Full Open Side Shipping Container, also referred to as a Full Side Access Container, is designed with an additional set of doors on its side, providing enhanced convenience when it comes to cargo loading and unloading.

While these containers share similarities with standard storage containers, they feature two extra bi-fold doors instead of a solid wall.

Similar to conventional end doors on shipping containers, the bi-fold doors operate in the same manner. Furthermore, if complete side access to the container is required, the bi-fold portion can be fully opened, leading to the container being called a ‘Side Access Container.’

Open Side Shipping Container with 2 accordian type doors with post in center

This type of container features two accordion-style doors with a post in the center. These doors can be fully opened, providing easy access to the contents of the container from both sides.

Open Side Shipping Container with Multiple Double Doors

Side Door Multiple double doors refer to a type of shipping container that has multiple sets of double doors on its side. The purpose of having multiple double doors is to provide increased accessibility and flexibility for loading and unloading cargo. With multiple doors, it becomes easier to access specific sections or compartments within the container without having to open the entire length.

This design is especially useful when dealing with large or heavy items that may require separate sections for storage or transportation. By having multiple access points, it allows for better organization and efficient handling of goods.
