40ft open side shipping container provides a spacious storage and handling solution with convenient access along the side of the unit. The open-side configuration is particularly useful for businesses and operations that need to handle bulky, long, or difficult-to-position items. With its generous capacity and durable steel construction, this container can be used for commercial storage, warehouse inventory, construction materials, machinery, agricultural supplies, workshop equipment, and many other applications. Easy Side Access Unlike a conventional container that is primarily accessed from the end, an open side container provides a large opening along its length. This makes it easier to load and unload larger items and provides better access to goods stored throughout the container. The side opening can also make organising stock more efficient, particularly when different equipment, materials, or products need to be accessed regularly. Spacious 40ft Storage The 40ft format offers substantial internal capacity for businesses requiring a large enclosed storage area. It can accommodate machinery, pallets, building materials, equipment, tools, commercial stock, and other goods that require considerable space. The container can be used independently or incorporated into a wider storage, warehouse, construction, or industrial setup. Durable Steel Construction Built around a heavy-duty steel structure, the container is designed for demanding storage and handling environments. Its enclosed construction provides a secure area for storing equipment and materials while helping keep contents protected from everyday outdoor exposure. The access system can be secured when the container is closed, making it suitable for both temporary and long-term storage. Suitable for Multiple Applications A 40ft open side container can be used for: Warehouse and inventory storage Construction materials Machinery and equipment Agricultural supplies Workshop equipment Industrial components Palletised goods Long and bulky materials Commercial stock Tools and maintenance equipment Logistics and distribution General storage Available in 10ft, 20ft and 40ft Sizes Open side shipping containers are available in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft sizes, giving you flexibility to choose a unit based on the required storage capacity and available space.

We aim to ensure that every container supplied meets the agreed specifications and is in satisfactory condition before dispatch or collection. All containers are inspected prior to delivery or collection.
Returns may be considered where a container has a significant defect or materially differs from the specifications agreed at the time of purchase.
Any issue must be reported within 30 days of delivery, together with photographs and relevant details where possible. We may inspect the container before approving a return or refund.
Where a refund is approved, it will generally be processed using the original payment method.
Custom-built, modified, or specially configured containers are generally non-returnable and non-refundable, unless the issue is confirmed to be the result of a manufacturing defect, workmanship issue, supplier error, or failure to meet the agreed specifications.
Minor cosmetic marks, normal signs of handling, or characteristics consistent with the agreed condition of a container do not normally qualify for a refund.
Delivery charges vary depending on the container type and size, delivery location, site access, and the equipment required for unloading and placement.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that the delivery address and site are safe and accessible for the required delivery vehicle, crane, Hiab truck, or lifting equipment.
If delivery is delayed, cancelled, or cannot be completed because of unsuitable access, restricted roads, unsafe site conditions, inadequate space, or other circumstances outside our control, additional delivery or waiting charges may apply.
Customers should ensure that the delivery site is ready and accessible before the scheduled delivery date.
Where a return is approved, return transportation costs may apply.
However, return shipping costs will generally not be charged to the customer where the return is required because of a confirmed significant defect, supplier error, or material failure to meet the agreed specifications.
We reserve the right to assess each return or refund request based on the individual circumstances of the order.
