20ft High Cube Side-Opening Shipping Container - New Build
The New Build 20ft High Cube Side-Opening Shipping Container combines complete side-loading versatility with extra overhead clearance. Standing at 9ft 6in (2.89m) high—providing an additional 30cm (1 foot) of headroom over standard units—this container features full-length bi-folding side doors along one full 6-meter side, in addition to standard double rear end doors.
Designed for seamless forklift side-loading, oversized equipment storage, and high-end commercial or pop-up retail conversions, the full side-access design removes structural side pillars to allow complete, unobstructed access to internal cargo. Manufactured brand new (single-trip) from anti-corrosive, high-tensile corrugated Corten steel, each unit comes equipped with factory-welded steel lockboxes on all door sets, clean 28mm marine-grade plywood flooring, and full EPDM rubber weather gaskets for complete wind and water-tight (WWT) security.
