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.

Pick-Up

A member of our team will reach out to coordinate your pick-up. With this option, you are responsible for ensuring you have a suitable vehicle and the proper equipment to safely offload your container on your property.

 

Tilt-Bed Delivery

If you select tilt-bed delivery, your shipping container will be delivered on a tilt-bed trailer. This is a specialized piece of equipment that is towed by either a hot shot truck or standard truck cab. Then, the front of the bed is raised so the container slides safely to the ground as the driver slowly drives forward.

To facilitate delivery on a tilt-bed trailer, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 100ft (30.5m)
  • Height Clearance: 15ft (4.5m)*
  • Width Clearance: 12ft (3.65m)

 

Note: Any low-hanging wires at the drop-site must be at least 18ft off the ground for the trailer to tilt safely.

 

To learn more about these delivery methods, consult our shipping container delivery guide.
