Can I Have Doors in the Side of a Shipping Container?

Reasons to chose side doors

Flexibility of positioning your container

Depending on the shape and size of the space where you want to site your container, it may be better in terms of access to have the long side wall front facing, instead of the end wall where the doors are traditionally placed.

Easy access to your container storage

Although shipping containers are used for a wide range of applications, strong and secure storage is still the top use. If you have a lot of goods to store, and/or require frequent access to them, a side door gives you equal access to both ends of the container, meaning you don't have to pull all your stuff out via the end door to find and take out what you need.

A wide range of side door options

If one side door is not enough, widen your container access by choosing from further side door options:

• Additional side doors


• Extra wide doors


• Full side access - this can be achieved with additional sets of doors, or extra wide doors


• Retaining the original end doors as well
