New & Used Open-Side Shipping Containers For Sale
An open-side, or side-opening container, provides a versatile solution for diverse shipping and storage needs. While they have similar features to standard shipping containers, they feature an additional bi-fold door on one side, making them perfect for easy loading and unloading of oversized cargo. They are available in various sizes, including 20ft, 40ft, and high-cube options.
As open-side storage containers, these units provide improved accessibility and visibility, making them ideal for storing items that need frequent access. The bi-fold doors on the side of the container enable easy retrieval of stored items and allows forklifts to enter without difficulty, making it suitable for palletized storage.
Thousands of happy customers have chosen Boxhub as their container supplier of choice.
Open-side containers make it easier to load and unload large oversized items. They can also be used to build custom structures like cafes, bars, and boiler rooms.
The main difference between open-side and side-door containers lies in their door configurations. Open-side containers have bi-fold doors on one of the longer sides while side-door containers have traditional swing doors on the side and two or more sets of side doors on the side of the container.
Only double-door shipping containers open at both ends, allowing you to load and unload cargo from either end.
Side-opening containers typically come in 20-foot and 40-foot sizes. Depending on the height of your cargo, you can choose the standard height (8' 6") or the high cube (9' 6") options in both sizes.
