When you load a large piece of equipment into a shipping container, the typical end doors fail to work. You need something more practical, more accessible. Something like the 20-foot side opening shipping container from Pelican Containers.

This container features full-length side doors, so you can easily access your cargo. You don’t have to squeeze through narrow doors anymore — all you have to do is open up the side and you’re good to go. This is a great help with oversized or awkwardly shaped items.

Why Choose Our 20Ft Side Opening High Cube Containers?

Here’s why you should choose our 20ft side opening container:

  • Easy access. Many traditional containers restrict access as they only open at one end, but our side opening design allows for complete access along the length of the container.

Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right 20Ft Side Opening High Cube Container

Even though we don’t provide office visits to inspect our 20-foot side-opening high-cube containers, you can still use the following tips to choose the right option in our online catalog:

  • Understand what you need the container for. Ask yourself: what will you be storing or shipping? How often will you need access to the contents?
  • Ensure that the 20ft HC container dimensions meet your requirements. Sometimes, it’s best to choose a 40ft high cube option.
  • Check if the container can be customized with additional ventilation, insulation, custom shelving or racking, and enhanced security features after the purchase.

How is this container delivered?

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.

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.

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.

Pelican Containers are an amazing company to work with! From the sales rep to the delivery driver, they all worked with a very high level of integrity. This America based business answered the phone when we called, they checked up and followed through with all our requests. We had daily communication with the sales rep during the purchase process. When the driver was on his way with our delivery, and he knew that he was running behind, he called to let us know a more exact time he would arrive. He was easy to work with and was not in a hurry to off load the containers. He was thorough with the placement of the containers, making sure that they were where we wanted them. We will do business with this company again!
