40′ Side Door Container for Sale – A Flexible High Cube Storage and Access Solution

A 40′ side door container is a premium, near-new shipping container designed for maximum accessibility and versatile loading options. Built from heavy-duty CORTEN steel and equipped with marine-grade plywood flooring, this unit offers exceptional strength, weather protection, and long-lasting performance. Side door containers are especially valued for their enhanced access along the long side of the container, making them ideal for oversized equipment, palletized goods, or modification projects requiring wide openings.

These units arrive in one-trip condition with minimal wear, such as light scuffs from transport. They are fully wind and watertight, featuring secure locking bars, solid rubber door gaskets, and a clean exterior. Most 40′ side door containers are manufactured in high cube height (9’6”), offering additional vertical clearance for storage or interior builds.

Multiple access configurations are available depending on your workflow:

• Full Side Open – The entire long side folds open for complete access

• 4 Side Doors – Four individual side panels functioning as doors

• 2 Side Doors – Two large side-opening sections for simplified loading

These flexible layouts make a 40′ side door container an excellent choice for warehouses, construction sites, event setups, retail conversions, and specialty modification projects.

Whether used for on-site storage, efficient material handling, or custom builds such as workshops, display units, and mobile storefronts, a 40′ side door container from Seablox delivers unmatched accessibility, durability, and value.
