Looking for a durable storage solution with convenient side access? A 20ft open side shipping container provides a practical combination of generous storage space and easy access to your goods. It is suitable for businesses, contractors, farmers, and individuals who need a versatile storage solution for equipment, tools, stock, and materials. Unlike a standard shipping container that primarily opens at one end, an open side container features side-opening doors that allow access along much of the container's length. This design makes loading and unloading bulky items more convenient and helps you organise stored goods for easier retrieval. Constructed with a steel container structure, a 20ft open side container is suitable for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and general storage applications. It can be used at warehouses, workshops, construction sites, farms, retail premises, and distribution facilities. Whether you need additional business storage, convenient access to frequently used equipment, or a more accessible way to manage inventory, a 20ft open side shipping container offers a flexible solution.

Durable Steel Construction The steel structure is designed for demanding storage environments. The condition and suitability of each unit depend on its specifications, maintenance, and intended application. Convenient Loading and Unloading The wider access area can make it easier to load and retrieve equipment, materials, and supplies, depending on the opening dimensions and handling equipment available. Efficient Storage Organisation The open side design allows stored goods to be arranged along the container's length, helping improve accessibility and make better use of the available space.

Delivery Throughout New Zealand Delivery can be arranged to suitable locations throughout New Zealand, subject to availability, transport requirements, and site access. A suitable delivery vehicle, such as a Hiab crane truck, may be required to position the container. Before delivery, ensure the placement area is firm, level, and accessible for the delivery vehicle. Consider overhead obstructions, narrow entrances, sloping ground, and sufficient space for the truck to position and unload the container.
