Hire 40ft Side Opening Sea Containers for easy access & loading bulky goods

Our 40ft Side Opening Sea Containers are ideal for storing large or awkwardly shaped items that wouldn’t normally fit through Standard Sea Container doors. Featuring wide 12-metre bi-fold side doors, they allow full side access that’s perfect for loading long equipment, large machinery or oversized goods with ease.

These Sea Containers are especially useful across a range of industries. In construction, they’re ideal for storing scaffolding, steel beams or bulky tools. In manufacturing, they’re used for raw materials and long components. Logistics and freight companies benefit from their efficient pallet loading and quick access.

For events and exhibitions, they allow for fast setup and pack-down of staging or display structures. Their versatility also makes them popular in agriculture for housing machinery or irrigation equipment, and in mining, where tough, accessible onsite storage is essential.

We also have 20ft Side Opening Sea Containers available for hire across WA.
