20ft Full Side Access Shipping Containers
Why Choose a 20ft Full Side Access Container
Need plenty of room for loading/unloading? Or do you need to transport extra heavy items? Our 20ft full side access containers are specialist shipping containers that can cater for both over sized or heavy loads, or can be simply be used for fast and convenient loading.
Making light work of loading
Standard containers are accessed via 8ft wide cargo doors, which can make loading tricky in some circumstances, and also means the container has to be sited with the narrow end facing outwards. But with two sets of double bi-folding door in the long side (as well as the standard 8ft end door!) not only is full side access granted, but the container can also be situated with the long side facing outwards. Imagine how much simpler this can make gaining access to your container, and everything inside it. No need to bring everything out through the small end door just to access that one item at the back, when you can open the whole thing up completely! Fuss free and time saving, and with plenty of room to drive a fork lift inside if needed, side access containers are the Rolls-Royce of containers.
Specifications
Full side access containers come in standard 20ft shipping container dimensions - 20ft long x 8ft wide x 8ft 6in high. Because the full length, double bi-folding doors present an additional weight bearing force on the container, the floor and roof are reinforced to cope with the extra demand, which makes the internal height of the container slightly less than standard containers. However, these reinforcements make them ideal for transporting extra heavy goods.
