Why Choose a 20ft Full Side Access Container

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.
Dimensions
Length | Width | Height | |

Internal: | 5.89m / 19ft 4in | 2.28m / 7ft 6in | 2.29m / 7ft 6in |

Full side access containers for conversions
In recent years the demand for using shipping containers as a cost effective way to provide accommodation for businesses has soared. Full side access containers are ideal for use as "pop up" units, and with a few simple container conversion features can be used for catering, retail, events and exhibitions. We can carry out all conversion work on our premises, as we did with this great example of a pop up shop shipping containers for the clothing brand Superdry.
