The 40ft High Cube Container with 2 Side Doors is a versatile storage solution designed for businesses requiring robust, secure space. As a “One Trip” unit, it presents a higher-grade alternative to standard used containers, typically retaining factory paint and structural integrity without the dents or rust commonly found on containers with longer service histories.
The defining feature of this unit is the integration of two side doors. Located on the 40-foot length side panel, these doors transform the functionality of the container by creating a “drive-through” style access point. This is particularly beneficial for construction sites or farms where materials need to be accessed from the side without unloading everything from the rear. The doors are fitted with locking rods and security seals to maintain the same level of security as the rear doors.
Constructed from 14-gauge weathering steel, the container maintains structural rigidity and is stackable. It arrives flat-packed and is assembled for delivery, ensuring dimensional accuracy and structural integrity. The powder-coated exterior and zinc-plated lock gear offer corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in outdoor environments.
