Unlike standard containers that only open from one end, this unit features full-length side opening bi-fold doors along the entire 40ft side, as well as traditional rear double doors. This allows complete floor-to-ceiling side access, making it ideal for forklifts, cranes, long materials, machinery, workshops and retail displays.

Manufactured from high-strength corrosion-resistant Corten steel with a reinforced 28mm marine-grade plywood floor, the 40ft open side container is fully wind and water tight, secure and built for demanding industrial use. All units are ISO and CSC certified, suitable for transport by sea, rail and road.

Industrial Containers supplies open side containers nationwide, including Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Free State, North West and Northern Cape.
