Definition
What is a Open Side container?
La famille Open Side regroupe les conteneurs équipés d’une ouverture latérale. Elle facilite l’accès à la marchandise sur la longueur du caisson.

Cette configuration sert quand les portes arrière ne suffisent pas. Elle réduit les manipulations pour les charges longues, les stands, les ateliers ou les stocks à accès fréquent.
Le choix dépend de la largeur nécessaire, de la fréquence d’ouverture et de l’état des portes latérales. La livraison doit aussi tenir compte du dégagement nécessaire pour ouvrir le côté.

In detail
What is a 20ft first-trip 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. "First-trip" means it is a new unit, out of the factory after a single trip. The 20ft format is the mid-size format in the range.
Read more
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°, which free up access along the full length. 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. It is the benchmark for cross-docking, loading long pallets and full access to goods with no need to move packages at the back.

Check total mass, point loads, load distribution and handling equipment compatibility. Available volume does not determine permissible load: reference masses are listed in the technical specifications.

Dimensions in millimetres · perspective viewLe choix de l’état
Premier voyage ou occasion ?
L’aspect attendu, l’usage et le budget orientent le choix. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé avant de vous décider.
Premier voyage : quel état ?
Un conteneur premier voyage est une unité récemment fabriquée qui a effectué un trajet maritime de positionnement. Son aspect est généralement proche du neuf, mais de petites marques de transport ou de manutention restent possibles.
C’est une option à privilégier pour une installation visible, un aménagement soigné ou un projet où l’état initial compte particulièrement. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé.
Occasion : pour quels usages ?
Un conteneur d’occasion a déjà servi au transport maritime. Les bosses, les reprises de peinture, la corrosion et les réparations varient d’une unité à l’autre : l’appellation seule ne décrit pas son état réel.
Pour le stockage, le chantier ou un usage technique, une occasion contrôlée peut répondre au besoin avec un budget initial plus contenu. Distinguez les traces d’usage acceptables des défauts qui affectent la structure, la fermeture des portes ou l’étanchéité.
Que vérifier avant l’achat ?
- Structure : déformations importantes, trous, corrosion perforante, état du châssis et des coins ISO.
- Portes et joints : ouverture, fermeture, fonctionnement des barres de verrouillage et continuité des joints.
- Plancher et étanchéité : zones molles, réparations inadaptées et entrées de lumière anormales, hors ventilation prévue.
Pour un transport maritime international, faites aussi confirmer la validité CSC et l’aptitude de l’unité au transport prévu. La plaque ne remplace pas l’examen du conteneur.
Budget : que faut-il comparer ?
À format comparable, l’occasion est généralement moins chère à l’achat. Vérifiez aussi ce que le devis inclut : le conteneur, le transport et le déchargement sur votre site.
À format identique, les dimensions nominales restent les mêmes ; la tare et la charge utile se vérifient sur les plaques. Pour un frigorifique, un Open Side ou un conteneur équipé, contrôlez aussi les équipements décisifs pour votre usage : groupe froid, portes ou installations.
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.
Applications
Uses for a 20ft first-trip Open Side container
Full side access transforms handling: the pallet is placed from the dock along the full length, the forklift has direct access and the crane handles long pieces.
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.
