In detail
What is a 20ft used Open Side container?
An Open Side container is a container with a side opening: an entire side of the body opens, in addition to the rear doors. "Used" means the unit has already been through several service cycles, then reconditioned; inspected and refurbished at the depot. The 20ft format is the mid-size format in the range.
The body, made of Corten steel, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, is fully welded. The side opening is via double doors pivoting at 270° or 180°. The rubber seals and locking bars are inspected or replaced at the depot depending on condition. The 28 mm marine plywood floor withstands rolling loads.
The 20ft format offers 31.8 m³ of usable volume over 13.87 m² of floor space, for a 20,100 kg allowable load. At a lower cost than new, it is a proven solution for cross-docking, warehouse logistics and loading long pallets.
In detail
Open Side: why a side opening?
A standard container only opens via its rear doors. To reach a pallet at the back, all the ones at the front must first be taken out. On a high-turnover logistics flow, this lost time adds up. The Open Side solves the problem: an entire side of the body opens.
The forklift can then access any pallet directly from the dock, without moving the others. This is the principle of cross-docking; direct transfer between a truck and a dock. Depending on the format, the opening is via double doors pivoting at 270° or 180°, or via folding accordion panels that clear the full length.

The applications below show in which contexts this format is most relevant. Each use links the on-the-ground need to the container's concrete benefit.
Highlights
Why buy a 20ft used Open Side container
The used 20ft Open Side retains the full side-opening function at a reduced cost. The strengths below show what the depot inspection concretely guarantees and why used remains a solid choice when aesthetic finish matters less than function.
The strengths below explain what each technical choice brings to the project. They help compare the product with a less specialized alternative or a different condition.
-
Affordable price
A net saving compared with new, with no loss of the side-opening function or capacity.
-
Body inspected at the depot
The welded structure is checked, the marine plywood floor inspected and sealing checked before every delivery.
-
Seals and locking bars inspected
Replaced if degraded, then sealing is tested; the sensitive point of an Open Side addressed before being put back into service.
-
Compatible with cross-docking
The container aligns directly with a standard logistics dock and receives goods for immediate transfer.
-
Sustainable approach
Extending the life of an existing body avoids manufacturing a new unit; several tonnes of steel saved.
-
Re-validated compliance
ISO 6346 marking and the CSC plate are reissued; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible for international maritime use.
