40ft Side Opening Containers: Versatile Shipping Solutions

Home > 40ft > Side Opening

At ABC Container Hire And Sales, we understand that every customer has different needs when it comes to shipping containers. That's why we offer a variety of sizes and types to suit your requirements. One of our most popular options is the 40ft side opening container.

There are many benefits to choosing a 40ft side opening container. Firstly, the size is perfect for larger shipments or for use as a storage unit. The extra space means you can fit more items inside, making it a cost-effective solution. Additionally, the side opening feature means that you can easily access your goods from the side of the container. This is particularly useful if you are storing items that need to be stacked or if you need to access certain items regularly.

Another great benefit of the 40ft side opening container is that it provides flexibility in terms of transportation. The standard 40ft container can be transported on a flatbed truck, but the side opening feature makes it easier to load and unload items from the container. This is especially important if you are transporting large or heavy items that cannot be lifted over the top of the container.

At ABC Container Hire And Sales, we understand that cost is an important factor for our customers. That's why we want to make it clear that a 10ft container is not necessarily cheaper than a 20ft one. In fact, the cost per square foot is often higher for a smaller container. This is why we recommend the 40ft side opening container as an affordable and practical solution for your shipping and storage needs.

In summary, the 40ft side opening container is a versatile and cost-effective option for those who need extra space and easy access to their goods. With its flexibility in transportation and practicality in storage, it's no wonder it's a popular choice among our customers.
