— Common use cases

What operators use the 20ʹ OS for.

  • Forklift side-loading of palletized cargo
  • Long cargo (pipe, lumber, rebar) loaded sideways
  • Modifications requiring full-side opening (food trucks, mobile shops)
  • Equipment access without rotating the container
— Important notes

Caveats and details worth knowing.

  • Same external dimensions as a standard 20ʹ GP. Tare is heavier (approx. 2,800 kg) due to additional door hardware and reinforcement on the open side.
  • Side doors typically open in 4 panels along the full length. Rear cargo doors remain operational.
— Grades we carry

Available across our condition grades.
