Our 40ft side opening shipping container (high cube model) has a tare (empty) weight of approximately 3,900 kg. It offers a substantial payload capacity of up to 26,580 kg, with a maximum gross weight typically around 30,480 kg. This makes the 40’ open side shipping container suitable for heavy equipment, machinery or bulk materials while maintaining structural integrity for safe transport and long-term onsite use.

The 40’ open side shipping container (high cube model) excels in applications requiring easy access and versatility, such as industrial onsite storage, material handling, equipment staging or secure transportation of oversized cargo. It's also popular for creative modifications, including mobile workshops, pop-up shops, temporary event spaces or showrooms. The full side access creates an inviting, open environment when doors are extended. Its high cube design maximizes vertical space for stacked goods or tall items, while the durable, watertight build ensures long-term reliability for both commercial and personal needs.

The 40’ open side shipping container (high cube model) features four cargo doors that open fully along one long side (bi-fold style), plus standard double rear doors, allowing side-on access for forklifts, pallet jacks, or direct loading of lengthy or oversized items. This eliminates the need to maneuver everything through the end doors or unload the entire container to reach items in the back, saving time and effort. It's especially beneficial for high-turnover storage, frequent access, material staging, or applications where quick sorting is essential.

Not exactly, our 40ft side opening shipping container features four cargo doors (typically bi-fold or segmented) along one long side, plus standard double rear doors, offering excellent but not completely unobstructed side access. A true "full open side" or "full side access" model might remove more of the side panel for even wider opening (sometimes with roll-up doors). Both provide superior side loading compared to standard containers, but our high cube version with 4 doors balances accessibility, structural strength, security, and cost, making the 40’ open side shipping container a practical, versatile choice for most industrial, storage or conversion needs.
