Side opening shipping container: the easy way to store and ship difficult cargo

Side door containers… side opening containers… open-sided shipping containers… full side access containers. Shipping containers that have an extra pair of doors on the side may have multiple names, but they all do the same thing.

They enable you to store or transport awkwardly shaped or extra-wide goods and wide loads with ease.

If you have large machinery parts such as turbines, long wooden beams or anything else that’s awkward to load into a standard container using the end doors alone, side door container hire is the way to go.

A side door container gives you easy & fast access to your goods

The other reason people choose to rent a side door shipping container from TITAN Ireland is that it provides unbeatable access to your products in storage. When you open from the side, the entire length of your container is laid out in front of you.

This can speed up loading and unloading – and give you quick access to stock, tools or personal items whenever needed. The two large bifold doors at the side can be rapidly opened and closed in just a few seconds.

Our side opening shipping containers are probably the most versatile storage containers on the market. They have two wide doors at the side, as well as the traditional two doors at the end that you’d expect to see on standard shipping containers.

A 20ft side opening container is what clients ask us for again and again. It’s just the right size for storing or transporting bulky items, or for use as temporary retail or catering units too. Or go extra-large with a 40ft high cube side opening container!

Side Door Container For Hire

20ft or 40ft shipping container with side doors… take your pick

Our 20ft side door container is a favourite among both private and business clients. Just the right size for storing or transporting a large number of items (or just a few oversized or bulky items), our side door shipping containers can also be used for temporary retail or catering units. We even offer refrigerated containers for these uses.

Our standard height side door container is 2.35m

Or for those who have really big storage needs, we also offer the extra-large with a 40ft high cube open sided shipping container. TITAN’s high cube side door containers are an incredible 2.69m tall – and that’s only the internal measurement!

When we say we have a wide choice of side door containers to rent, we mean it. You can choose from having the end door on the left of your container, the right of your container – or even a container with a set of side doors on both sides.

And, when specifically requested, we can even provide one with doors at both ends if required.

Our standard height side door container is 2.35m – which is more than enough for most customers, but if you need extra headroom, why not choose our high cube model?

High cube side door containers

TITAN’s high cube side door containers are an incredible 2.69m tall – and that’s the internal measurement. These supersized containers are 20cm taller still when seen from the outside.

That makes them really useful when stacking products (especially if transporting goods), or storing tall goods that you don’t want to lie flat.

Quite simply, there is no simpler way to load product into a shipping container – unless, perhaps, you want to lower it in from above, which is possible if you rent an open top container from us.
