Side access changes how a storage container works, and that is exactly what this 20ft container with roll up doors delivers. Starting life as a wind and watertight 20ft ISO shipping container, it is fitted with wide steel roller shutters so long lengths, pallets and awkward loads can go straight in from the side rather than being manhandled the full depth of the box. The result is a secure, weather-resistant store that suits busy yards, sites and hire fleets.
Key Features
- Roller shutter openings 2.44m (8ft) wide, formed from 26-gauge corrugated steel for strength with a smooth daily action
- Reinforced steel framing welded into the side walls so the container keeps its structural integrity after the openings are cut
- Zinc-coated magnetic latch on each shutter for secure closing and simple padlocking
- Weatherproof sealing around every door frame to keep out rain, spray and windblown dust
- Freshly coated exterior that improves corrosion resistance and gives a tidy, professional look on customer-facing sites
- Forklift pockets for straightforward repositioning around a yard or compound
- Integrated venting to reduce condensation and protect stored goods from moisture damage

Delivery Across the UK
