Used 20ft Open Side / Full Side Access Container

The used 20ft open side shipping container features a pair of double-hinged doors along one side, providing full-side access (FSA) for loading and unloading operations. This configuration offers an alternative to standard end-door containers for applications requiring convenient access to palletized goods, bulky items, and equipment .

Key Features

• Full-side access doors with double-hinged design, spanning 5.82 meters (19 ft 1 in) along the container length 

• Cor-ten steel construction for structural integrity and corrosion resistance 

• Wind and watertight construction with functional seals and locking mechanisms

• End cargo doors providing additional access at one end 

• 28mm marine-grade plywood flooring over steel cross-members 

• Two locking bars on each door for secure closure 

• Forklift pockets (2 per side) for handling and positioning 

• CSC certification for regulatory compliance (gross weight max: 24 tons) 

Detailed Description

This 20ft open side shipping container is constructed from Cor-ten steel, a weathering steel grade that develops a stable protective layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. The material provides structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, making the container suitable for extended outdoor placement.

The defining feature of this container is its full-side access capability. The double-hinged doors along one side open to provide access to the full length of the container, allowing forklifts, pallet jacks, and other loading equipment to enter from the side without requiring cargo to be moved from the rear . When opened, the effect is comparable to removing the entire side wall . This configuration is particularly suitable for palletized cargo and items that cannot be loaded through standard end doors .

The container also includes a pair of double doors at one end, providing two access points for loading and unloading operations . Each door set features two locking bars for secure closure, compatible with padlocks or security seals.

The floor system utilizes 28mm marine-grade plywood panels secured to steel cross-members, providing load-bearing capacity for palletized goods and equipment. Ventilation openings promote airflow and reduce moisture accumulation .
