20’ Standard Open Side Container
An Open Side (or "Full Side Access") container has the same features as a regular container with an additional feature of opening on its side. The double pair of side swing doors cover the entire length of the shipping container opening to 270º thus providing full-size access.
This cream-of-the-crop container offers the best quality and eliminates all elements of surprise from the buying process. With the exception of a few possible dings from handling during its single trip from the factory overseas, the “One Trip” container is structurally and aesthetically immaculate. It is leakproof and comes with no holes. It is graded for use in shipping goods overseas and for on-land storage and transportation.
Your new “One Trip” container will have minimal to no surface rust, dents, scratches, small or no decals and will be a factory-color tan or light gray. It will include a factory built-in lockbox and easy-to-open high handles on the cargo swing doors. Every unit comes with our 1-year warranty against structural defects.
Unless a paint modification option is added at checkout, the color of the container cannot be selected. Contact us to color match multiple-unit orders.
If the appearance of the container is not of the essence, our Cargo Worthy, Cargo Worthy Premium, and Wind and Watertight grades are great choices for instant storage.
Recommended for use in extensive custom modifications.
