Cutting out the side wall of a 40HC container

Shipping containers are known for their versatility and robustness. However, if you need to adapt the container to your specific requirements, such as creating larger access or optimizing the interior space, cutting out the side wall is an ideal solution. Especially for 40HC (High Cube) containers, which offer increased height and more usage options, this modification proves to be very practical.

Quick information

• wooden reinforcement is added only for storage, or in some cases also for transport
• the shipping container is not included in the price
• the wall can also be cut in other types of containers
• can only be cut from containers purchased from us
• in the case of modifications to the shipping container, free transport within the Czech Republic no longer applies. This is due to the fact that the container requires more handling because of the modification, or we need to transport it to external locksmith companies where such modifications are carried out

Why have a side wall cut out?

One of the main reasons for cutting out the side wall is easier handling of the container’s contents. This modification is ideal for storage, transport of specific types of goods, or converting the container into a workspace, booth, or showroom. By removing the side wall, you gain quick and direct access to the container, which is especially appreciated when frequently handling goods or larger items that cannot be easily moved through standard doors.

Which containers is the modification suitable for?

Although cutting out the side wall is often requested for 40HC containers, it is not the only option. The same modification can be made to other types of containers, including standard 20′ or 40′ models. This allows you to adapt any container to your specific needs. It is important to note that this modification is provided only on containers purchased directly from us, which ensures the quality and compatibility of the work.

Safety and structural reinforcements

After cutting out the side wall, it is crucial to ensure the stability and safety of the container. Therefore, a wooden reinforcement is temporarily installed, primarily for storage and in some cases also for transport. This reinforcement keeps the container’s structure firm and prevents possible deformations. If you plan to use the container long-term without the side wall, we recommend an individual consultation regarding further modifications to ensure its durability.

When is cutting out the side wall most useful?

Cutting out the side wall is particularly useful in the following situations:

• Storage and logistics: Quick access to stored goods or materials, especially where handling efficiency is important.
• Mobile businesses: Converting the container into a booth, showroom, or workshop with maximum use of space.
• Construction and industry: Using the container as a technical base on construction sites or for shelters and garages.

Subsequent transport of the modified container

It is important to note that container modifications, such as cutting out the side wall, require increased handling. This means that in these cases, free container transport within the Czech Republic is not included. The container must be transported before or after the modification to external locksmith companies specializing in such work.

Cutting out the side wall of a 40HC container is a great way to adapt the container to your specific needs. Whether you plan to use it for storage, transport, or as part of your business, this modification will bring you greater flexibility and comfort.
