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.
Read more
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.
-
Accès latéral
Accès latéral
L’ouverture sur la longueur améliore l’accès aux marchandises. Elle évite de vider le conteneur pour atteindre une charge située au fond.

In detail
What is a 40ft Reefer Open Side first-trip container?
A Reefer container is a refrigerated container: an integrated cooling unit produces and maintains a chosen temperature, from −25°C to +25°C. "Open Side" refers to a main side opening: an entire side of the container opens, via double doors or panels. The Reefer Open Side combines both; a specific configuration in the National Conteneur catalog.
Read more
This side opening allows refrigerated cross-docking: loading pallet by pallet, directly from a logistics dock, with no maneuvering through the rear. The general market usually keeps Reefer and Open Side as two separate ranges; their combination remains rare.
The body is made of Corten steel, a self-weathering steel that resists marine corrosion, with a food-grade stainless steel finish. The opening side wall integrates reinforced polyurethane insulation and specific seals, to limit heat loss during opening.

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
Understanding the Reefer and Open Side combo
Most manufacturers offer the Reefer, active thermal regulation, and the Open Side, side opening, as two separate ranges. National Conteneur combines them on this 40ft, a hybrid product with very limited production.
Read more
During side loading, the cooling unit keeps actively regulating the −25/+25°C range. The opening wall integrates polyurethane insulation and reinforced seals to limit cold loss. The combo is designed for short cycles, a dock-to-truck transfer of a few minutes, not for prolonged storage with the door open.
The typical use case is aligning a refrigerated truck at a warehouse dock, transferring pallets one by one. The productivity gain over a standard Reefer, loaded only from the rear, offsets the manufacturing extra cost on high-turnover flows.
Applications
Refrigerated cross-docking with a 40ft Reefer Open Side
This configuration is aimed at flows where active thermal regulation must coexist with immediate side access from the dock.
The points below give the key markers for interpreting this section. Each item specifies the practical benefit and the condition of use to remember.
Highlights
Why buy a 40ft Reefer Open Side first-trip container
The Reefer Open Side resolves a conflict specific to cold-chain logistics: speeding up loading without breaking the cold chain. The strengths below explain how this hybrid configuration, rare on the market, reconciles fast side opening with active thermal regulation.
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.

Configuration in the National Conteneur catalog
Configuration in the National Conteneur catalog
This Reefer and Open Side combo does not exist as a market standard; manufacturers usually keep the two ranges separate. It is a hybrid product with very limited production.
-
Active cooling unit
Active cooling unit
The refrigeration equipment manufacturer, cooling unit builder or cooling unit manufacturer unit continuously regulates the −25/+25°C range, under 7 cm of polyurethane insulation. Cold is maintained even during side loading.
-
Main side opening
Main side opening
The entire side opens, allowing direct cross-docking from the logistics dock. Each pallet loads with no maneuvering through the rear, reducing cold-exposure time.
-
Reinforced insulated side wall
Reinforced insulated side wall
The large opening wall integrates specific seals that preserve the polyurethane insulation during opening. This is the sensitive technical point of a Reefer Open Side, addressed right at the factory.
-
Supervised maintenance
Supervised maintenance
An annual preventive maintenance contract, refrigerant gas, components, parts, can be subscribed at order. It preserves the cooling unit's performance over time.
-
Fast repair service
Fast repair service
Refrigeration technicians intervene in case of breakdown to preserve the cold chain. On a Reefer, an untreated interruption directly compromises the goods.
-
Regulated compliance
Regulated compliance
ATP/CAT-S, ISO 6346 and CSC are combined for multimodal refrigerated transport. The unit circulates on all cold chains.

What is the price of a 40ft Reefer Open Side first-trip container
The Reefer and Open Side combo is a very small production run product. Only two or three manufacturers worldwide specialize in combining active thermal regulation with an insulated opening side structure.
Four factors influence price variations:
The factors below explain why the price can vary from one quote to another. They help read a quote by distinguishing the price of the product, availability and delivery costs.
