About this unit
20ft High Cube One-Trip Open Side Container — Blue — New
Full lateral access from one complete side wall. This 20ft High Cube One-Trip open side container
removes the primary loading constraint of a standard end-door unit — the full 20ft side wall opens completely, allowing forklift, crane, and wide-load access along the entire container length simultaneously.
The High Cube profile adds 300mm of interior clearance over a standard 20ft container — suits tall pallets, oversized equipment, racking systems, and any application where both height and lateral access are critical.
Built new, shipped to Australia once, and never previously loaded. The interior is clean, residue-free, and ready for immediate use or fit-out on delivery.

20ft High Cube Open Side Container Applications
Wide Load and Oversized Cargo Storage
Cargo that exceeds standard end door width loads cleanly through the full-length side opening. The High Cube profile adds vertical clearance for tall, wide, or irregularly shaped loads that cannot enter through a standard end door — handling a wider range of cargo types than any standard end-door unit.
High-Throughput Forklift Operations
Lateral forklift access allows operators to reach any pallet position along the full 5,898mm interior length without repositioning other pallets first. Simultaneous loading from the side and unloading from the end door significantly reduces handling time in high-throughput storage operations.
Retail and Pop-Up Spaces
The full side wall opening transforms this container into an open-fronted retail, display, or event space. The clean One-Trip interior and High Cube ceiling height create a professional, spacious environment without interior fit-out compromise.
Workshop and Studio Conversions
Workshops, studios, and creative spaces benefit from the full side wall opening for ventilation, light, and equipment access. This open side container is one of the most popular base units for container conversion projects requiring natural light and openable facades.
Agricultural and Bulk Storage
Load baled hay, bulk bags, and palletised goods laterally with a forklift — without the manoeuvring constraints of an end-only door. The High Cube height accommodates double-stacked bulk bags and taller agricultural storage configurations.
