If you're in the market for a new shipping container, you might want to consider a 40ft side opening container. This type of container has a host of benefits that make it an attractive option for a wide range of industries.

First, let's talk about the size. A 40ft container is significantly larger than a 20ft container, which gives you more space to work with. This can be especially beneficial if you're shipping large or bulky items that won't fit in a smaller container. Additionally, the side opening feature means that you can load and unload your cargo more easily, as you don't have to rely solely on the end doors.

But what about the cost? It's true that a 40ft container is more expensive than a 20ft container, but it's important to note that a 10ft container isn't necessarily cheaper than a 20ft one. In fact, the price difference between a 20ft and 40ft container is often smaller than you might think, especially when you factor in the additional space and convenience of the side opening feature.

Of course, buying a new container also has its advantages. You'll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your container is in top condition, with no signs of wear and tear that could compromise its integrity. This can be especially important if you're shipping valuable or fragile goods.

At ABC Container Hire And Sales, we offer a range of new 40ft side opening containers that are perfect for a variety of applications. Whether you're in the logistics, construction, or agriculture industry, we can help you find the perfect container to meet your needs. Contact us today to learn more about our selection and pricing.
