20ft Open Side Shipping Container

The 20ft Open Side (OS) shipping container is a versatile and highly accessible storage and transport solution designed for commercial, industrial and modular conversion applications. Featuring a full or partial side opening without a central post, this container allows convenient side access to stored goods while retaining fully functional original end doors.

Constructed from robust CORTEN steel, the Open Side container is engineered for durability, weather resistance and long-term outdoor use. Its rigid side-opening system improves loading efficiency and provides unrestricted access for oversized goods, pallet handling and workspace conversion projects.

The side-opening double doors open fully to create a large unobstructed access area, making the container especially suitable for bulky cargo, event installations, modular retail spaces, workshops, snack bars, terraces and commercial display applications.

Its adaptable structure also makes it ideal for custom conversions and architectural projects where open interior layouts and natural accessibility are required.

The floor is constructed from reinforced laminated marine plywood and bamboo with anti-slip treatment for industrial durability and moisture resistance.

The container is fully waterproof and weatherproof and complies with international transport and safety standards for multimodal logistics operations.
