New 20-Foot Open Side Container – Flexible Access and Easy Loading
A 20-foot Open Side Container is designed for easy side access, providing unmatched flexibility for loading and unloading. Ideal for on-site storage, transportation of bulky items, or modular logistics solutions, it maximizes operational efficiency in warehouses, construction sites, or global shipping.

Constructed from robust Corten steel, this container ensures durability, weather resistance, and security. Fully ISO and CSC certified, it meets all requirements for safe international transport. Its open side feature allows for easy handling of oversized cargo, pallets, or machinery that cannot fit through standard doors.

What does “new container” mean?
A “new” shipping container is a so-called one-trip container – it has only been used once for transport from the factory to its first destination. This ensures minimal wear and tear, perfect condition, and the highest standards of durability and longevity compared to used containers.

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered with or without a crane.

With Crane

Your container will be delivered on a truck-mounted crane, allowing the driver to lift and position the container without additional offloading equipment.

To facilitate a truck-mounted crane delivery, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

 

Without Crane (Standard Chassis)

If you select delivery without a crane, your container will be delivered on a flat chassis with no built-in offloading equipment. You will therefore be responsible for offloading the container yourself using the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate a delivery without a crane, you will also need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered by side-loader or standard chassis.

With a Side-Loader

Your container will be delivered on a specialized truck called a side-loader (sometimes also known as a side-lifter). This vehicle has hydraulic arms that lift the container off the trailer and set it down beside the truck.

To facilitate a side-loader delivery, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

 

Standard Chassis

If you select delivery by standard chassis, you will be responsible for lifting and placing your shipping container on the ground with the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate delivery on a standard chassis, you will also need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)
