This design provides complete side access, making it ideal for forklifts, pallet jacks, long cargo, bulky machinery, shelving systems, workshops and retail displays.
Manufactured from high-strength corrosion-resistant Corten steel with a durable marine-grade plywood or bamboo floor, the 20ft open side container is fully wind and water tight, secure and built for long-term outdoor use.
