Why Choose Our 20Ft Side Opening High Cube Containers?

Here’s why our 20ft side-opening container is the ideal solution for your needs:

  • Easy Access
    Many standard shipping containers restrict access as they only open at one end. Our side-opening design provides complete access along the entire length, streamlining the loading and unloading process.
  • Optimal Use of Space
    The high cube design offers significantly more vertical space than standard containers, allowing you to store taller items and maximize your storage capacity.
  • Durability
    Constructed from sturdy aluminum and stainless steel, these containers are built to withstand harsh weather conditions. Their robust construction also provides enhanced security against theft and vandalism. For extra protection, you can opt for a container with a lock box.
  • Versatile Applications
    These containers are highly customizable to meet your specific requirements. They also feature effective ventilation, making them ideal for storing humidity-sensitive goods like agricultural products.
  • Cost-Effectiveness
    A one-time purchase of a reliable and reusable 20ft side-opening container eliminates the recurring expense of frequently renting temporary storage or transport solutions.
  • Solve Your Storage and Transportation Challenges
    You can overcome a wide range of logistical challenges with our versatile, secure, and spacious 20ft side-opening high cube containers.

How is this container delivered?

0ft
Tilt Tray

Tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines as the container height increases significantly when tilted.

0ft
Side Loader

Side loaders are used to transport our 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.

0ft
Hiab Crane

Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck’s cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.

Taking a moment to send a big shot out to the Pelican Container Family…. I’m building a shipping container home using 45’ shipping containers. This project started when I purchased 4 boxes from conexwest who sold me (4) 45’ boxes for 6990.00 each (😳) only for 2 of them to be damaged with holes in the structure. They refunded 1 & refused to refund the other. To keep my project from being delayed during the damaged box dispute. I needed a total of 4 boxes to complete the project. I doubled back to conexwest & purchases 2 more boxes @ 6690.00 for 2 with delivery. This purchase was made on 11/23. Conexwest refused to deliver my boxes from purchase date to 9/15/25 only to refund me 9/16/25 after heing contacted by the new station about my order for the purchase made 11/23. I was without a box and came across Pelican Containers… the price I saw was totally fair. I reached out and was contacted by Roselle, she is absolutely perfect to work with. I wasn’t sure at first yet Roselle’s communication is top notch! The delivery was quick! The driver of the box was awesome! The transport team was very cool and flexible. The box showed up just as a used box should some rust… some dents…. Yet WWT for sure Cargo worthy… I’m very thankful and I will ALWAYS USE PELICAN CONTAINERS for my shipping continue purchases! Roselle thank you and your team & as we shared we will continue this business relationship for the time to come!

Valery was a pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond to locate, secure, and ship a flat rack container that suited our needs. We were on a tight schedule, and her diligence and efforts allowed us to purchase and take delivery of the container in just a few short days. She was a key factor in making our project a success! Thanks again, Valery and Pelican Containers!

We were looking for a unique style of container. The one we originally committed to purchasing was sold before we closed the deal. We ended up with a very nice container that had all the characteristics we required, but had a hinged double door on the side. It worked out nicely and Reniel Villar was true to his word. The 4 rating (still very good) was not a 5 due to timing and circumstance. We wood buy from Pelican again. Also, the logistics company's driver was spectacular.
