20ft Side Opening Shipping Containers
Ideal for storing large items that are difficult to fit through the doors of a standard shipping container, such as machinery, long equipment and oversized goods.
Many industrial businesses prefer Side Opening Shipping Containers due to their bi-fold side doors, which provide a 6-metre opening. These containers are especially forklift-friendly, as the spacious side access allows forklifts to easily load directly into the container for efficient packing and unloading.
