Used 20ft Side Opening Shipping Container
Designed for maximum accessibility, the Used 20ft Side Opening Shipping Container features full-length side doors that allow unrestricted access to the entire interior. It is an excellent choice for businesses handling oversized equipment, retail stock, workshop materials and frequent loading operations.
Product Overview
Some storage challenges are created not by the amount of space available, but by how easily that space can be accessed. Traditional shipping containers require loading from one end, making it difficult to organise large or frequently used items. The Used 20ft Side Opening Shipping Container solves this problem by providing full-length side access, allowing the entire interior to be reached without unloading everything at the front.
This configuration has become increasingly popular with construction companies, event organisers, retailers and workshops where equipment needs to be loaded, removed or rearranged quickly. The side-opening design also makes it easier to store long materials such as pipes, timber, steel sections and machinery that would otherwise be difficult to position through conventional cargo doors.
Each container has previously completed international service before undergoing a detailed inspection. While cosmetic signs of use are expected, every unit is carefully assessed to ensure reliable operation of both the end doors and the full-length side-opening system. The result is a versatile storage solution that combines proven durability with exceptional accessibility.
Whether used as secure storage, a mobile workshop, a display space or the foundation for a future conversion project, the Used 20ft Side Opening Shipping Container provides flexibility that standard containers simply cannot offer.

Why Choose a Side Opening Container?
Unlike standard containers that only allow loading through the rear doors, this model provides unrestricted side access across almost the entire length of the container. This significantly reduces loading time, improves workplace efficiency and makes organising inventory much easier.
It is especially valuable for customers who regularly move equipment in and out or need direct access to specific items without unpacking the entire container.
