In detail
What is a 40ft 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. On the 40ft format, this opening is accordion-style; folding panels that clear the full length, a 11.80 m × 2.18 m passage. "Used" means the unit has already been in service, then reconditioned at the depot.
The body, made of Corten steel, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, is reinforced to compensate for the long side cutout. It is inspected at the depot before being put back into service; the continuous seals and folding panels with cam latches are inspected or replaced depending on condition.
The 40ft format offers 62.8 m³ of usable volume over 27.4 m² of floor space, for a 25,080 kg allowable load. At a controlled cost, it is a proven solution for heavy cross-docking and transferring pallets along the full length.
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. On the 40ft format, the accordion opening clears the full length, allowing 22 to 24 Europe pallets to be loaded in a single maneuver.

Highlights
Why buy a 40ft used Open Side container
The used 40ft accordion Open Side retains full access along the entire length, the function that gives this format its value, at a significantly reduced acquisition cost. The strengths below detail what the depot inspection concretely guarantees and why used remains a solid choice when logistics productivity is the goal, not aesthetic finish.
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 11.80 m side opening or full transfer capacity.
-
Reinforced body inspected
The reinforced 40ft structure, sized to compensate for the long cutout, is checked at the depot and the marine plywood floor inspected.
-
Continuous seals and folding panels inspected
Replaced if degraded then sealing-tested, since the 12 m opening wall is the sensitive point of a reused accordion unit.
-
Full pallet cross-docking
The container aligns directly with a logistics dock for transferring 22 to 24 pallets in a single maneuver.
-
Sustainable approach
Extending the life of an existing reinforced 40ft body avoids manufacturing a new unit and saves several tonnes of steel.
-
Re-validated compliance
ISO 6346 marking and the CSC plate are reissued after inspection; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible for international maritime use.
