Rent Side Door Container

INTRODUCING THE EASY WAY TO STORE AND SHIP DIFFICULT CARGO

Side door containers… side opening containers… open sided containers… full side access containers. Shipping containers that have an extra pair of doors on the side may have multiple names, but they all do the same thing.

They enable you to store or transport awkwardly shaped or extra-wide goods and wide loads with ease.

If you have large machinery parts such as turbines, long wooden beams or anything else that’s awkward to load into a standard container using the end doors alone, side door container hire is the way to go.

Open Top Container For Hire
WHY CHOOSE A SIDE DOOR SHIPPING CONTAINER?

Our side door shipping containers are engineered to meet the needs of various industries. These containers feature dual side doors, allowing easy access to your goods and minimising loading times.

Ideal for personal and commercial use, these versatile containers can serve as storage containers for rent or be purchased for permanent needs.

Choose TITAN for options in:

  • Side opening shipping containers for quick access and seamless storage.
  • 20ft and 40ft models for transporting larger, bulkier items.
  • Customisable features for your unique storage requirements.
Open-Top-Containers-For-Hire-Option
VERSATILE OPEN SIDED SHIPPING CONTAINERS

Our open sided shipping containers are perfect for accommodating extra-wide or long goods that don’t fit in standard containers.

With bi-fold side doors, accessing your goods is a breeze, making these containers an excellent option for temporary retail units, construction site storage, or event setups. A shipping container with side doors can simplify and streamline your operations significantly.

EASY ACCESS TO YOUR GOODS WHEN YOU NEED IT

The other reason people choose to rent a side door container from TITAN is that it provides unbeatable access to your products in storage. When you open from the side, the entire length of your container is laid out in front of you.

This can speed up loading and unloading – and give you quick access to stock, tools or personal items whenever needed. The two large bifold doors at the side can be rapidly opened and closed in just a few seconds.

Our side opening shipping containers are probably the most versatile storage containers on the market. They have two wide doors at the side, as well as the traditional two doors at the end that you’d expect to see on standard shipping containers.

A 20ft side opening container is what clients ask us for again and again. It’s just the right size for storing or transporting bulky items, or for use as temporary retail or catering units too. Or go extra-large with a 40ft high cube side opening container!

Side Door Container For Hire

DOORS WHEREVER YOU NEED THEM

TITAN is one of New Zealand’s largest container specialists, with depots at destinations all over the country (North Island and South Island).

When we say we have a wide choice of side door containers to rent, we mean it. You can choose from having the end door on the left of your container, the right of your container – or even a container with a set of side doors on both sides.

And, when specifically requested, we can even provide one with doors at both ends if required.

Our standard height side door container is 2.35m – which is more than enough for most customers, but if you need extra headroom, why not choose our high cube model?

HIGH CUBE SIDE OPENING CONTAINERS FOR MAXIMUM STORAGE

For those needing extra headroom, we offer high cube side door containers. Standing at 2.69m internally, these containers provide an additional 20cm height, making them ideal for transporting taller items or stacking goods.

That makes them really useful when stacking products (especially if transporting goods), or storing tall goods that you don’t want to lie flat.

Quite simply, there is no simpler way to load product into a shipping container – unless, perhaps, you want to lower it in from above, which is possible if you rent an open top container from us.

Side access containers are occasionally confused with tunnel containers, which we also rent. These have a door at each end and are also known as double door containers.

Need a side door container solution? Contact us for options including:

  • Shipping containers for hire.
  • Insulated, refrigerated models for temperature-sensitive items.
  • Variety of sizes for different storage requirements.
