20′ Open Side Shipping Container in Excellent Condition – Side Opening (new), 240 726-3

Are you looking for a reliable, spacious and at the same time exceptionally accessible storage or shipping container? This 20-foot Open Side container in IICL6 quality is one of the most practical variants on the market. Thanks to its full side opening, it offers comfortable loading and unloading of even very bulky or palletized items that are difficult to fit into a classic container with end doors. The container is stored in Genoa, Italy, and is waiting for its new owner to pick it up personally at the depot, ideally using their own carrier – transport is not provided by us.

Specifications of the 20′ Open Side Container – Side Opening and Dimensions

The Open Side type container has one entire side wall designed as an opening. Instead of a fixed panel, there are full double-leaf doors that allow access along the entire length of 6 meters. This eliminates the need to handle cargo in the narrow end of the container – goods can be loaded and unloaded from the side, which dramatically speeds up logistics and minimizes the risk of cargo damage.

Standard dimensions of a 20-foot container:

• External length: 6,058 mm
• External width: 2,438 mm
• External height: 2,591 mm
• Internal length: approx. 5,898 mm
• Internal width: approx. 2,352 mm
• Internal height: approx. 2,393 mm

The side doors are just as robust as the end doors and, when closed, the container is hermetically sealed, retaining all the properties of a classic storage box with full protection against weather conditions.

Capacity, Load and Volume

The internal volume of the container is approximately 33 m³, which provides plenty of space for extensive storage of materials, tools, machinery or seasonal goods. The maximum load capacity according to the specification is around 28,000 kg, while the container’s own weight is approximately 2,300 kg. Even when fully loaded, the durable plywood floor maintains stability and the container can be safely transported on a standard trailer.

Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

IICL6 Quality and RAL 5010 Color

The container is in the IICL6 category, which is an international standard for shipping containers that guarantees a condition corresponding to a practically new unit. IICL6 means that the container has undergone a thorough inspection, any necessary repairs, and meets the strictest criteria for further use in maritime transport as well as for land storage. It is free of any structural deformations, with fully functional doors, seals, floor and roof. The surface is free of rust penetration, all locks and hinges operate smoothly. In short, you receive a container that is visually and technically at the level of a new product.

The color is finished in the shade RAL 5010, known as Gentian blue. It is a rich, deep blue color with a subtle hint of purple, which is very resistant to UV radiation and looks elegant even in industrial environments. A blue container does not attract unnecessary attention, but at the same time does not look dull – it will fit perfectly into a company premises, a construction site or a private property. Given that storage stock changes daily, it is advisable to check the current color by inquiry – however, we always guarantee the same quality, type and size.

Advantages of Side Opening

Side opening brings several key benefits:

• Loading with a forklift from the side – ideal for palletized goods.
• Easy access to stored items even in the rear part of the container without having to remove everything.
• The ability to place the container close to a wall or another container and still use the entire space.
• Fast handling with frequently changing contents – for example in rental shops, workshops or construction sites.

Use and Target Group

The Open Side container appeals primarily to:

• Construction companies and tradesmen – as a mobile storage for tools and materials directly on the construction site.
• Logistics companies and freight forwarders – for temporary storage of goods requiring side access.
• Manufacturing companies – as an extension of storage capacities with the option of fast dispatch.
• Event and market organizers – for easy dispensing and storage of equipment.
• Private individuals – for storing seasonal items, motorcycles, garden equipment, etc.

The open side wall is a popular choice where frequent handling is expected and where classic end doors are not sufficient.

Storage – a Safe and Spacious Storage Space

The container itself serves as an immediate storage facility. Once placed on a hardened surface, you get a lockable, watertight and wind-resistant box with a volume of 33 m³. The interior can be equipped with shelves, racks or hangers and fully utilize the height. Side opening also allows the container to be divided into zones and accessed independently – ideal for organizing tools, packaging materials or components.

Conversion and Modification Options

Thanks to its excellent condition and modular construction, the Open Side container is a great base for various modifications:

• Mobile shop or stall – the side opening creates a counter-style sales area.
• Mobile workshop or service facility – with immediate access to tools and spare parts.
• Garden house or sauna – side doors provide ventilation and natural light.
• Office or changing room on the construction site – after insulation and electrical installation, you get a comfortable facility.

Other Uses and Mobility

In addition to static storage, the container can also be used as a mobile unit. On a trailer, it can be transported anywhere and placed on site within a few minutes. You will especially appreciate the side opening for short-term projects where you need to quickly set up and put into operation storage or operational facilities. After the event is over, you load the container again and take it away.
