40'HC Open Side Shipping Containers (4 Side Doors)

Maximize loading efficiency and storage accessibility with this 40-foot High Cube 4-Door Open Side shipping container. Featuring four separate sets of double-hinged doors along the 40-foot side wall—in addition to standard double doors on the end—this unit allows you to divide the interior into four independent storage bays or load oversized, palletized cargo directly from the side using a forklift. With an extra foot of vertical clearance compared to standard units, it is built for heavy-duty commercial, industrial, and retail applications.

Key Features

4-Bay Side Access: Equipped with four independent pairs of double doors along the 40' side for unobstructed access to specific sections without unloading the entire container.

High Cube Clearance: Features an exterior height of 9'6" (1 foot taller than standard containers) to accommodate taller machinery, racking, and bulk inventory.

Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant Corten steel with heavy-duty marine-grade plywood flooring and weather-tight rubber door gaskets.

Enhanced Security: Includes factory-installed lockboxes on the doors to protect padlocks from bolt cutters and tampering, alongside multi-point locking bars.

One-Trip Condition: Shipped once from the manufacturer with cargo, ensuring minimal wear, fresh paint, and a clean interior.
