20ft Used Open Side Container: Full Lateral Access at Used Container Value

The 20ft Used Open Side Container provides full side access through double hinged doors spanning 5.82 meters along one wall, combined with traditional double doors at the end. This dual access configuration gives you the ability to reach any item at any depth from the side without moving goods in front, while still retaining standard end access for conventional forklift loading. As a used unit that remains wind and watertight, it delivers the same practical functionality as new open side containers at a significantly lower cost.

CSC plated with a maximum gross weight rating of 24 tons, this container meets international safety standards for both storage and transport applications. The Corten steel construction has proven its durability through active shipping service and continues to provide reliable weather protection and structural integrity for ongoing use.

Full Side Access Benefits

Standard containers limit all loading to a single end opening. When you need an item stored in the middle or back, everything in front must be moved first. The 5.82 meter side door opening solves this completely by providing direct access along the entire internal length. Open the specific section of side doors where your item is located, retrieve it, and close up again without disturbing anything else. For businesses that store multiple categories of goods or access their container frequently throughout the day, this saves substantial time and physical effort compared to end door only access.
