Side Door Shipping Container
The doors of our 20ft side-door container models open out fully to provide unrestricted access to the entire length of the container, enabling you to load and unload quickly. These side-door containers are ideal for packing compactly and efficiently, since you can arrange your cargo or stored goods laterally. You can also save time finding and retrieving your goods once the container has been packed.
