Description
Open side containers, also known as side-opening containers, have emerged as a game-changer in the shipping industry. These specialized containers offer a unique design with full-length side doors that provide easy access to cargo from the side, making loading and unloading more efficient. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the features, benefits, and diverse applications of open side containers in modern shipping and logistics.
What is an Open Side Container?
Open side containers are similar in structure to standard shipping containers, with the key distinction being their full-length side doors. These doors run along one or both sides of the container, allowing for unrestricted access to the entire width of the container. The most common sizes of open side containers are 20-foot and 40-foot, adhering to industry standards.
Open side containers offer opportunities for customization based on cargo requirements. For instance, they can be fitted with adjustable shelving or racks to maximize storage space or equipped with climate control systems for temperature-sensitive items.
