Specifications
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.
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 shipping 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 shipping container models for transporting larger, bulkier items.
- Customisable features for your unique storage requirements.
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 shipping 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!
