New & Used Side-Door Shipping Containers For Sale
Side-door shipping containers, not to be confused with open-side containers, are specialized types of shipping containers that feature additional doors along one or more of their sides. This design significantly enhances the accessibility and functionality of the containers compared to standard models that only have doors at one end. The number of side doors can vary from 2 to multiple, depending on the container's design and intended use.
Side-door containers most commonly come in 20ft and 40ft sizes. They serve as versatile storage solutions for individuals and businesses across various industries in the US. The 20ft side-door shipping container is popular due to its manageability and suitability for smaller storage needs. On the other hand, the 40ft side-door containers are designed to provide larger storage capacity while maintaining the same level of accessibility.
Thousands of happy customers have chosen Boxhub as their container supplier of choice.
Side-door containers are extensively used in the retail industry, especially for pop-up stores and trade shows. The side doors allow for easy display setups and direct customer access, making them ideal for temporary retail installations. They can also be used as ticket booths, information kiosks, or even as temporary bars.
Farmers can store equipment and supplies in side-door containers. The side access makes it easier to store and retrieve large items like tractors or sacks of feed without having to unload everything else.

The key difference is in the door design and access. Open-side containers have full-length doors along one side of the container that can be fully opened, providing unobstructed side access. Side-door containers on the other hand have additional doors installed along the sides, in addition to the standard end doors, allowing for side access but not full open sides.
Open-side containers are generally better suited for oversized, bulky, or irregularly shaped cargo that is difficult to maneuver through standard end doors. The full-length side access provides more flexibility for loading large items.
Side-door shipping containers typically come in standard sizes, such as 20ft or 40ft in length, with a standard width and height.
