What is a Double Door container?
La famille Double Porte regroupe les conteneurs équipés de portes à chaque extrémité. Elle facilite les chargements traversants et l’accès à deux zones de stockage.

Cette configuration évite de déplacer toute la marchandise pour atteindre le fond du conteneur. Elle améliore les usages où les entrées et sorties sont fréquentes.
Le choix dépend de la circulation autour du conteneur, de l’organisation du stock et de la fréquence d’ouverture. Les deux côtés doivent rester accessibles sur le site.

In detail
What is a 40ft first-trip HC Double Door container?
A Double Door container is a container fitted with doors at both ends of the body, not just one. "HC" stands for High Cube: the container gains about 30 cm of height compared with the standard 8'6" format. "First-trip" means it is a new unit, out of the factory after a single positioning journey. It is the maximum format in the tunnel range.
Read more
Both ends of a 12.19 m body receive double doors opening at 270°. The container becomes a high-volume logistics tunnel, loaded from one side and unloaded from the other. The new structure combines a Corten steel body, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, fully welded to the HC gauge, two identical sets of doors and a 28 mm marine plywood floor.
The new 40ft HC frees up 76.3 m³ of usable volume (12.034 m × 2.35 m × 2.7 m) for a 26,460 kg payload, 9.4 m³ more than a standard 8'6" 40 Double Door. The 2.7 m interior height, combined with the bidirectional tunnel, allows tiered FIFO palletizing, stacking pallets on two levels, at high volume.

Use the internal dimensions to plan the load or equipment layout. Allow the clearances needed for movement, handling and maintenance for your intended use.
Mass and load distribution
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.

- Exterior (L × W × H)

These dimensions describe the container envelope. Door movements, connections and servicing may require additional space around the unit.
The unloading area depends on the vehicle and lifting method. It must be assessed separately from the container’s final position.

Read the dimensions guideLe 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
Double Door: what is a logistics tunnel for?
A standard container has doors at only one end. To empty it, you always come back to the same side. The Double Door adds a second set of doors at the other end of the body. The container becomes a tunnel: you go in one side, out the other.
Read more
This tunnel serves two warehouse logics. FIFO first; First In, First Out: the first pallet loaded is the first to come back out, without moving the others. Cross-docking next: placed between two docks, the container receives incoming goods on one side and ships out on the other, with no turning maneuver. Flows gain in speed and order.
Applications
Uses for a 40ft first-trip HC Double Door container
The new 40ft HC is aimed at high-volume tunnel flows where tiered palletizing becomes a decisive optimization lever. Four typical uses stand out:
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 40ft first-trip HC Double Door container
The new 40ft HC Double Door is the ultimate format of the tunnel container: it combines 40ft length, High Cube height and dual through access. The strengths below explain what this combination brings to tiered high-volume cross-docking.
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.
-
Maximum long, tall format
Maximum long, tall format
12.19 m long by 2.7 m of interior height, for 76.3 m³ usable. It is the maximum capacity in the tiered high-volume tunnel segment.
-
Additional HC height
Additional HC height
2.7 m of interior height, 30 cm more than the standard 8'6" 40 Double Door. This margin allows multi-layer tiered palletizing.

Bidirectional HC tunnel
Double doors at 270° equip both ends, on a format that is both long and tall. Through cross-docking operates in HC mode.
-
High payload
High payload
26,460 kg allowable, preserved despite the combination of 40ft, HC height and double doors. Load capacity is not penalized.
-
Fully welded Corten HC body
Fully welded Corten HC body
The self-weathering steel structure guarantees maritime robustness. The container complies with ISO 6346 and CSC for long-distance transport.
-
High Cube gauge compliance
High Cube gauge compliance
The unit circulates multimodally, but its High Cube gauge requires checking available heights on routes with low bridges before transport.
