Detailed Description
This 20ft side door container offers a versatile solution for applications requiring more than just standard end-door access. The primary feature is the full-length side door, which folds back to allow the entire interior to be accessed from the side. This is particularly useful for loading bulky items like machinery, vehicles, or large volumes of palletized cargo that cannot be easily maneuvered through the rear doors .
As a “one-trip” unit, this container represents the highest quality grade available in the used market . Manufactured primarily in Asia and shipped to the US for its first and only voyage, these containers are typically less than two years old. They exhibit only superficial cosmetic marks from transit, such as minor scuffs or small dents, with no structural wear or rust . This condition makes it an ideal candidate for secure, long-term storage or as a premium shell for conversion projects like mobile bars, pop-up shops, or on-site workshops .
The unit is constructed with a marine-grade plywood floor and a standard locking system on both the rear and side doors. The steel construction ensures the contents are protected from the elements, maintaining a wind and watertight seal when the doors are closed .
