This 40ft High Cube Full Side Access container combines the extra headroom of a High Cube unit with a full-length opening side door — giving forklift or pallet access along the entire length, not just the ends. Finished in Blue and supplied wind and watertight, with nationwide UK delivery.
£10,200.00
The 40ft High Cube Full Open Side Access container combines two of the most requested container upgrades in one unit: the extra 9’6″ headroom of a High Cube, and a full-length side-opening door that runs the entire length of the container. Unlike a standard container, which can only be loaded from the end doors, this unit can be accessed along its full 40ft side ideal for wide loads, racking systems, or situations where end-loading isn’t practical.
Finished in Blue and supplied wind and watertight, this container is built from durable Corten steel for long-term outdoor use, whether on a construction site, industrial yard, or as part of a storage fleet.
– Full-length side access: side doors open along the entire 40ft length for full-width loading
– High Cube headroom: 9’6″ external height — a full foot taller than a standard container
– Retained end doors: standard cargo doors at one or both ends for conventional access
– Weatherproof Corten steel: resists corrosion, keeps contents dry
– Wind and watertight condition- (confirm grade at time of order)
– Blue exterior finish — ask about other available colours
– Stackable corner castings– for safe stacking where required

What’s the difference between “full side access” and “open side” containers?
These terms are generally used interchangeably in the industry — both describe a container with a side door that opens along most or all of its length, in addition to (or instead of) standard end doors.
Can I still load this container from the ends?
Yes — most full side access containers retain standard end doors alongside the side opening, giving two access points.
Is the Blue finish paint or original manufacture colour?
The Blue is the original manufacture colour and has not been repainted.
Do side-opening containers cost more than standard containers?
Generally yes, due to the additional door hardware and reinforced framing required to maintain structural strength with a full-length opening.
