40ft 4-Door Side Opening Containers: Prices, Dimensions and Delivery

The 40ft 4-Door Side Opening High Cube Shipping Container has four side double doors along the 40ft length plus the standard end doors, so you can load straight from the side instead of digging through the whole shipping container like you would with a Standard Shipping Container. That makes it perfect for storing tools, equipment, and everyday gear you need to grab quickly, and it’s ideal for partitioning the contents into separate zones behind each door. It comes standard in High Cube height, so you get an extra foot of internal room for bulkier cargo.

It’s also a popular choice for modifications because each door gives its own access point into the shipping container. Our team can add insulation, electrical, lighting, heavy-duty shelving, and more. Chat to Container Traders about how you want to use the shipping container and we’ll spec it up for you.
