20 ft Open Side Container

A 20ft open side container offers the strength of a standard shipping container with the added benefit of full side access. Built from corten steel, lockbox fitted, and weather-tight, it is designed for situations where wider loading or quick access along the full length of the unit is required.

Our 20ft open side containers arrive as one-trip new builds, shipped once from the factory into New Zealand. They may carry the odd scuff or small dent from transport, but every unit is structurally sound and certified for five years from manufacture.

The full-length side doors make these containers highly practical for loading wide items, machinery, or multiple pallets at once. They are a popular choice for businesses handling stock rotation, event setups, or any project that requires flexible access.

Each container is built from corten steel for durability, with an undersealed base to protect against ground moisture. A secure lockbox is fitted for added padlock protection, while marine-grade plywood flooring provides a strong, stable surface. Ventilation helps reduce condensation inside, and forklift pockets allow easy movement on site.

Features include:

  • Constructed from corten steel for strength and long service life.
  • Full side opening allows fast and flexible access to goods.
  • Secure lockbox protects padlocks and reduces tampering risk.
  • Marine-grade plywood flooring offers a durable base for heavy storage.
  • The underside is undersealed, protecting the unit from damp ground conditions.
  • Air vents are fitted to improve airflow and reduce moisture build-up.
  • Forklift pockets allow for safe lifting and repositioning when required.

Nationwide delivery is available, with placement by hiab or swing lift trucks depending on site requirements. Customer unloading is also possible where suitable equipment is available.
