1. General Overview

The 20ft Full Open Side container is a specialized engineering solution designed to overcome the loading limitations of traditional end-door units. By utilizing a pillarless side design, the entire 20-foot length of the container can be opened, allowing for the effortless loading of oversized machinery, long-span materials, and high-density pallet loads via forklift. 

At Worthy Container, we provide these units primarily in "One-Trip" New condition to ensure the structural integrity of the specialized side-door hinges and the reinforced header beam.

3. Structural Construction & Door Mechanics

3.1 The "Pillarless" Header Beam

Standard containers rely on side walls for structural support. To allow a 20-foot opening without a center post, the Worthy Container Full Open Side unit is engineered with a massive, reinforced top header beam. This beam is high-tensile CORTEN steel, designed to carry the roof load and prevent sagging, ensuring the side doors remain perfectly aligned even when the container is fully loaded.

3.2 4-Door Bi-Fold System

The side access consists of a specialized four-door configuration:

4. Key Operational Advantages

  1. Oversized Loading: The only solution for 19-foot pipes, wide industrial generators, or structural steel bundles that cannot be angled through end doors.

  2. Pallet Accessibility: A forklift can access any pallet in the unit directly from the side. This eliminates "Last-In, First-Out" constraints and significantly reduces labor time. 

  3. High Cube Clearance: Choosing the High Cube model provides an 8' 1" side-opening height. This is essential for loading tall industrial equipment or installing interior HVAC/Lighting in a workshop conversion.

  4. Architectural Potential: The Full Open Side is the industry's "blank canvas" for pop-up retail, cafes, and exhibition stands, providing an instant 20-foot storefront.

5. Condition: New (One-Trip)

Due to the technical complexity of the bi-fold door system, Worthy Container specializes in New (One-Trip) Open Side units.
