SIDE LOADING SHIPPING CONTAINERS
Side loading containers, also known as side access or side opening containers, have concertina doors to one long side as well as cargo doors to one 8ft end. This makes loading by fork lift or loading large items really easy. Similarly, side loading units are a perfect base for an exhibition or event container modification, the side entry makes them the perfect container bar. They are also available as a dual entry side opening container meaning that the long sides have concertina doors to both sides., and as chemical (spill floor) containers. Side loading containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, but we can also custom make something more bespoke for you.
