Side Access SD201
The SD201 is a used 20ft container with one set of standard sized doors, positioned in the side. This product is a low cost alternative to expensive new side access containers, and is manufactured at Containers Direct by modifying used shipping containers. Doors in the side of a container make for easy flexible access and the SD201 will give you 7ft 8in of entry space, centrally place in the long side - although we can offset them to one side upon request.

For an additional cost the SD201 can be supplied with other door types - the S3 door, personnel door, or a roller shutter. Read more about these doors in our Guide to Choosing Shipping Container Doors
