Side Open Containers
Maximum Side Access for Efficient Loading & Unloading
MK Containers supplies 20ft Side Open and 40ft Side Open shipping containers, designed to provide unrestricted access along the entire side of the container. Unlike conventional containers that are loaded only through the end doors, Side Open containers feature full-length side-opening doors, making them ideal for oversized cargo, palletised goods, and applications requiring easy side access.
Built to international ISO standards using high-strength Corten steel, Side Open containers combine the durability of a standard shipping container with enhanced accessibility, improving loading efficiency and operational flexibility.
