40-Foot High Cube Open Side (Four Door)
Four separate side openings divided by narrow steel pillars on a 40-foot high cube unit, for section-by-section loading.
40 ft
Container overview
The 40-foot high cube open side four door carries four separate side openings divided by narrow steel pillars, rather than a single full-length side wall or end-only doors. Each section opens on its own, so specific items can be loaded or unloaded through one bay while the rest of the side stays closed and the rest of the cargo stays stacked and secured.
Built on the 40-foot high cube frame, the unit measures 40 feet long, 8 feet wide and 9 feet 6 inches high on the exterior, giving full high cube interior height alongside the sectional side access.
The body is built from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant Corten steel for harsh weather exposure. Pillar spacing and individual door widths vary by build, so confirm the opening dimensions of the assigned unit before planning the load.
