    Frequently Asked Questions

    Open Side Containers work by having double doors on the longer length side of the shipping container. These doors are then typically secured by a lockbox.

    We currently stock Open Side Shipping Containers in 20ft and 40ft sizes and they are also available at standard height (8’6”) and high cube height (9’6”) for a bit of additional storage space.

    As previously mentioned, side opening shipping containers are extremely useful for loading/unloading oversized items. It also has the added advantage of being able to load/unload regular-sized items more quickly given an entire side of contents can be accessed at any one time. You also have a bit more freedom and space to rearrange the contents inside your shipping container (without unloading everything first).

    With full side door access as a 20ft shipping container or a 40ft shipping container, these types of containers can be modified for a variety of purposes. They make great mobile retail spaces with customers able to freely enter and browse within the space. They are also ideally suited as modified workshops where tools and projects can be easily moved in and out. Recently, they’ve also become popularly used for Trade shows and events for those that frequently participate in these throughout the country.
