What is a 20ft open side container?

A 20ft open side container has the same base dimensions as a standard 20ft container but includes a set of bifolding doors along one of the 20ft sides. This allows the entire side to open up, providing much wider access than standard end-load doors.

How much more space does a high cube container offer?

A high cube container is 9'6" tall, one foot taller than a standard 8'6" container. This provides approximately 10% more vertical storage capacity, which is ideal for taller items or maximizing cubic feet.

Can I load a car into a 20ft open side container?

Yes, the open side design is perfect for loading vehicles. The full side access makes it much easier to drive a car in and then open the car doors to exit, which is often impossible in a standard container.

Are the side doors on an open side container weatherproof?

Yes. When properly closed and sealed, the side doors are designed to be just as weatherproof and secure as standard cargo doors, featuring heavy-duty seals to protect your contents from the elements.

What is required for a 20ft container delivery?

For a tilt-bed delivery, you will need a clear, flat, and firm surface with about 50 feet of straight-line clearance for the truck and trailer. Our driver will handle the unloading process.

Can I modify an open side container?

Absolutely. The open side model is an extremely popular choice for custom modifications, including pop-up retail stores, food and beverage stands, mobile workshops, and event spaces due to its easy accessibility.
