A 20ft side opening container replaces the long-side wall with four sets of independently lockable double doors. Each pair opens wide for forklift access, pallet loading, or fast retrieval of tools and equipment. The rear cargo doors stay standard-spec, so you keep the option of end-loading for long items like scaffolding, steel, or timber.

Construction is identical to a standard 20ft – Corten weathering steel, marine plywood floor, full structural integrity, ISO-stackable. The side doors are weather-sealed, hung on reinforced hinges, and locked via cam-lock bars. Each door pair is independently secured, so you can open one bay without exposing the rest of the container.

For construction crews, hire businesses, and fleet operators who load and unload daily, the side opener pays for itself in saved labour. Park the truck against any bay, retrieve your gear, lock up and leave. No rearranging, no double-handling.

Premium Used ($5,800) are cargo-worthy units with 1-3 international voyages. Structurally sound, fully functional doors, with typical cosmetic wear – small dents, surface rust, faded paint.

New 1-Trip ($7,950) are factory-fresh, pristine inside and out. These are what we recommend for customer-facing applications or long-term placement where appearance matters.

Hire ($5.50/day) gives you flexible access to the same units. Minimum one week, delivery and pickup included on hires over 6 months.
