Advantages of a side opening shipping container
If you need a shipping container with side doors, you’ve come to the right place. Our open side shipping containers provide a simple, efficient way to handle bulky or oversized items. No more struggling to load through narrow end doors—side doors open along the entire length, offering complete access to your cargo.
Whether you’re storing large machinery, long beams, or wide loads that require open access, side door containers make the job quick and easy. The wide bifold doors mean faster loading and unloading, which is ideal for heavy-duty industries, including cold storage and industrial applications. For more options on storage containers for rent, explore TITAN’s extensive range.
Versatile storage solutions for business and personal use
A side door container isn’t just useful for large businesses. It’s also popular among private customers for temporary storage, workspace solutions, and even home renovations. The ease of access makes it a popular choice across sectors like retail, construction, and warehousing. If you’re looking for a container hire solution, our side opening shipping container rental services provide flexible options to fit your timeline and budget.
Common uses include:
- Warehouse and retail storage: Easy loading for large, bulky items
- Events and exhibitions: Quick setup for temporary retail or display spaces
- Construction sites: Secure storage for tools and machinery
- Home renovations: An ideal solution for keeping personal items safe and accessible during projects
Quality and durability you can rely on
TITAN’s open side shipping containers are constructed to withstand all weather conditions, ensuring your goods stay safe and dry. All containers are:
- Wind and watertight, with high-quality, corrosion-resistant finishes
- Available in multiple colours
- Designed with bifold doors for easy forklift access and seamless pallet stacking
Convenient storage and access for all your needs
Open sided shipping containers offer unmatched accessibility. With side access, you can open up the entire length of the container, making it easy to reach stored items. This feature is perfect for businesses needing extra workspace or easy storage access for stock, tools, or supplies. A 20ft side door container offers the right balance of size and accessibility for most applications, while the 40ft high cube version adds additional capacity for more significant storage needs.
If you’re considering buying, TITAN also has side opening containers for sale to provide a long-term solution. You can find more information on our shipping container for sale page, which offers details on container dimensions and options to buy or rent.

Doors wherever you need them
TITAN is one of the UK’s largest container specialists, with depots at 20+ destinations all over the country (Ireland, too).
When we say we have a wide choice of side door containers to rent, we mean it. You can choose from having the end door on the left of your container, the right of your container – or even a container with a set of end doors on both ends.
And, when specifically requested, we can even provide one with side doors on both sides if required.
Our standard height side door container is 2.35m – which is more than enough for most customers, but if you need extra headroom, why not choose our high cube model?
Flexible rental and purchase options for side open shipping containers
At TITAN, we offer both rental and purchase options for side door containers. Renting is a great choice for short-term projects, while purchasing provides a long-term solution.

For businesses needing to rent, TITAN’s shipping container hire service ensures fast delivery and competitive pricing.
For more information on open sided shipping containers or to get a quote, please contact TITAN today. Our team can help you find the best option for both rental and purchase, no matter the size or scope of your storage needs.
High cube side door containers
TITAN’s high cube side door containers are an incredible 2.69m tall – and that’s the internal measurement. These supersized containers are 20cm taller still when seen from the outside.
That makes them really useful when stacking products (especially if transporting goods), or storing tall goods that you don’t want to lie flat.
Quite simply, there is no simpler way to load product into a shipping container – unless, perhaps, you want to lower it in from above, which is possible if you rent an open top container from us.
Side access containers are occasionally confused with tunnel containers, which we also rent. These have a door at each end and are also known as double door containers.
