Open Sided Shipping Containers for Sale

Open Side Shipping Containers for Sale

These configurations are developed to assist users with optional functionality to access the entire side of a container at ground storage level for ease of entry to any part of the shipping container with an added benefit of loading needed greater than 7 feet wide which is more than the standard width of a regular end door opening. An open side shipping container will come in one trip condition which is referred to as new condition. The open side builds are more secure and stable than aftermarket entry doors or roll-up doors and will come with the standard swinging doors on one end of the container. 

Open Sided Storage Container Options

One trip containers are built in China and take one voyage to arrive into the United States to be offered for sale in their respective location.  Specialty builds are not mass produced like typical 20' and 40' builds simply due to the fact exporters do not need any extra doors to seal to assure their shipment has not been tampered with during the voyage plus there is no reason for added expense and liability of repair during years of service for the additional doors.  Due to the limited production of side opening containers, they are not a used product and are only ever offered in one trip condition.  In very rare cases some one trip open sided containers may be provided in used condition but the costs are very close to new production rates.
