Rent Side Door Container
Full side access containers

Introducing the easy way to store and ship difficult cargo

Side door containers… side opening containers… open sided containers… full side access containers. Shipping containers that have an extra pair of doors on the side may have multiple names, but they all do the same thing.

They enable you to store or transport awkwardly shaped or extra-wide goods and wide loads with ease.

If you have large machinery parts such as turbines, long wooden beams or anything else that’s awkward to load into a standard container using the end doors alone, side door container hire is the way to go.

40ft High Cube Side Door Containers for Hire

Benefits of side door shipping containers

The ability to open from the side makes a side door shipping container stand out among other storage options. These containers are designed for industries that need access to stock or tools, such as retailers, event organisers, and tradespeople. With their versatile design, open side shipping containers are perfect for handling wide loads, improving inventory management, or serving as temporary storage solutions at construction sites.

Many businesses and private customers opt for shipping containers for hire due to their flexibility, especially in fast-paced industries. Side door containers offer a solution where easy access is key, whether it’s for loading, unloading, or frequent access to goods.

40ft High Cube Side Door Containers for Sale

Why choose a side door container for your business?

When looking to streamline your storage or shipping process, a side door shipping container offers so many advantages. For industries that rely on fast loading times or quick access to stored products, renting or buying an open sided shipping container can make a significant difference. Imagine being able to quickly retrieve or store large quantities of stock, tools, or equipment without having to unload from one end of a traditional container. This ease of access is what makes side door containers a preferred choice in many sectors, from retail to construction.

At TITAN Containers, we offer a wide selection of side door containers in various sizes to meet your storage or transportation needs. Our 20ft side opening shipping containers are the most popular option for many businesses, while the 40ft side door container provides extra space for larger items or bulk goods.

Easy access to your goods when you need it

The other reason people choose to rent a side door container from TITAN is that it provides unbeatable access to your products in storage. When you open from the side, the entire length of your container is laid out in front of you.

This can speed up loading and unloading – and give you quick access to stock, tools or personal items whenever needed. The two large bifold doors at the side can be rapidly opened and closed in just a few seconds.

Our side opening shipping containers are probably the most versatile storage containers on the market. They have two wide doors at the side, as well as the traditional two doors at the end that you’d expect to see on standard shipping containers.

A 20ft side opening container is what clients ask us for again and again. It’s just the right size for storing or transporting bulky items, or for use as temporary retail or catering units too. Or go extra-large with a 40ft high cube side opening container!

Who uses our side door containers?

An easier question might be: who doesn’t?! Having easy access to your products is a big hit across multiple business sectors, and open side container hire is popular among private customers, too. Some of the many benefits when you rent a side door container include:

  • Easy access to tools – perfect for window cleaners, mechanics, builders, plumbers, carpenters and other tradespeople.
  • Masses of easy-access business storage – our side access containers serve as incredibly accessible mini warehouses for grocers, retailers, fruit pickers, recycling centres and many other types of business.
  • The quickest possible loading time – especially for wide loads. Just forklift straight in!
  • A temporary workspace or showroom – if you’re holding an event, showing off your wares or even running a class of some kind, a side door containers lets you keep everything indoors while letting fresh air in.
  • A home extension for a month or two – many people who rent full side access containers from us are renovating their property and need to put all their possessions somewhere safe for a while. There’s no easier way to load up a container than when it has side doors.

Side Door Container For Hire

Doors wherever you need them

TITAN is one of the Australia’s largest container specialists, with depots at destinations all over the country, from Perth to Brisbane.

When we say we have a wide choice of side door containers to rent, we mean it. You can choose from having the end door on the left of your container, the right of your container – or even a container with a set of side doors on both sides.

And, when specifically requested, we can even provide one with doors at both ends if required.

Our standard height side door container is 2.35m – which is more than enough for most customers, but if you need extra headroom, why not choose our high cube model?

High cube side door containers

TITAN’s high cube side door containers are an incredible 2.69m tall – and that’s the internal measurement. These supersized containers are 20cm taller still when seen from the outside.

That makes them really useful when stacking products (especially if transporting goods), or storing tall goods that you don’t want to lie flat.

Quite simply, there is no simpler way to load product into a shipping container – unless, perhaps, you want to lower it in from above, which is possible if you rent an open top container from us.

Side access containers are occasionally confused with tunnel containers, which we also rent. These have a door at each end and are also known as double door containers.

Flexible container hire options

Renting a side door container is a cost-effective way to access extra storage or transport space without the long-term commitment of ownership. TITAN’s container hire service allows you to choose from a range of container sizes and designs, ensuring that you find the perfect solution for your needs. Whether you’re looking for storage containers for rent or need a shipping container with side doors for your business, our flexible rental terms make it easy to get started.

Additionally, our freezer containers are ideal for businesses that need to store temperature-sensitive goods. If you need extra storage for perishable items, freezer containers are a versatile option to consider.

Customisable options for your shipping container

TITAN offers a whole range of containers that allow you to customise your open side shipping container with accessories such as shelving, lighting, or refrigeration. Whether you’re using the container for storage, transportation, or as a temporary workspace, we can modify the unit to fit your specific needs.

If you’re in the market to buy containers, TITAN has a wide variety of new and used units available, ensuring you get a container that fits your budget and requirements. Explore our range of shipping containers for sale options today.
