New 20-Foot Double Door Container – Flexible Access and Reliable Storage
A new 20-foot Double Door container offers versatile access and secure storage for shipping, logistics, or on-site applications. With doors on both ends, it provides maximum convenience for loading and unloading cargo, tools, machinery, or building materials.

Made from durable Corten steel, this container ensures weather resistance, high security, and long-term reliability. Fully ISO and CSC certified, it meets all standards for safe worldwide transport. Its compact size allows for easy handling while still offering generous interior space for a wide range of applications.

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)

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)
