Description
Open Side & Double Door
The 40ft High Cube Double Door / Open Side container combines extra headroom with maximum access — end doors at both ends, or full-length side-opening doors, for projects where getting large freight or equipment in and out matters as much as interior space.
Available New/One-Trip for a like-new shell with fully operational door hardware, or Used and condition-graded — door mechanisms tested and graded independently from cosmetic condition, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Popular for pop-up retail, mobile workshops, side-loading storage, and any conversion project where a single end door limits what you can move in and out.

Condition Grading Guide
| New / One-Trip | Factory-new shell and door hardware, full paint, no dents or rust. Made one ocean voyage. |
| Used – Cargo Worthy (CW) | Structurally sound, door hardware inspected and operational. Cosmetic wear graded and disclosed separately. |
Door mechanisms (hinges, locking bars, gaskets) are inspected and graded independently of the container’s cosmetic condition, so a unit can show cosmetic wear while its doors operate like new.
Site Readiness Checklist
- Allow 10-12 ft of clearance for full door swing on the open side or end doors
- Level, compacted surface (gravel, asphalt, or concrete) rated for the unit’s loaded weight
- Confirm approach angle allows delivery truck to position for tilt-bed or roll-off placement
- Plan traffic flow around the unit if using both end and side access simultaneously
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between double door and open side?
Double door units have standard doors at both ends. Open side units add full-length doors along one side wall, in addition to a standard end door, for maximum load-in access.
Can I get both double doors and open side on one unit?
Yes — units combining end doors at both ends plus a full-length side door are available; confirm configuration when requesting your quote.
Are the door seals weathertight?
All doors are inspected for weathertight seals as part of our condition grading — this is called out specifically in the grading report for your unit.
What’s this container typically used for?
Pop-up retail and event space, mobile workshops, side-loading equipment storage, and conversion projects requiring wide load-in access.
How is it delivered?
Standard tilt-bed or roll-off delivery. Confirm site clearance for door swing before delivery day.
Is a warranty included?
Used units include a limited structural warranty; New/One-Trip units carry the manufacturer’s standard coverage. Full terms provided at quote.
