Product description
The 20’OS/20’FSA/20SD, more familiarly known as 6 m side opening container. This practical container differs from a traditional container due to its door structure. One long 6 m side of the container can be opened. The side door is usually a 4-leaf door that opens in 2 sections. 50% to the left and 50% to the right, allowing it to be opened in different ways, such as 1/4, 1/2 or completely. The 20′ Open Side Container is an ISO-compliant container that can be used for storage or freight (CSC). The floor material in the containers is plywood or bamboo and they come with standard ventilation valves. All doors are lockable with a padlock and our rental containers are equipped with a welded protective case.
A very practical container when you need a space solution that can be implemented quickly, for example for a trade fair, as a pop-up store, a performance stage or a promotional space. The container’s double doors and the opening side can be locked with padlocks, so you can leave all your belongings in the container after the event and continue the next day without any extra moving of the goods. The model is also very popular for project use when you need to load cargo from the side with a forklift or need an equipment shelter, making installation very easy. Please note that there may be differences in the position of door panels on container.

FAQ

What does "handling fee" mean?
Every time a container, whether it is a container for lease or sale, is moved around a depot, it requires a lift. The handling fee is a one-time cost that covers moving the container around in the depot areas. The fee is only applicable when you lease a container or have a one-way deal with us. We never charge you a handling fee when you buy a container outright, so there are no hidden costs.

What do the different container delivery options mean?
It does not matter if you buy or lease a container; MC Containers can deliver it to you. We use a variety of container delivery methods, including the following container trucking methods:
- Chassis / CPT (Carriage Paid To)
- On ground / DAP (Delivered At Place)
- FOT DEPOT / FCA (Free Carrier)
Chassis delivery means that your new, used or modified container will be delivered to the destination on a container chassis. However, this service does not include removing it from the chassis. If you decide to buy a container, it is your responsibility to organize a crane or another piece of machinery to offload it. This is the most common container delivery method in Europe due to the better availability of trucks and cost effective rates.
On Ground Deliveries are done with a truck that can drop the container to the ground with it’s own equipment. Normally, the container delivery is done using a side loader or a truck equipped with a crane. The standard delivery price includes 30-45 min of unloading time per container and any extra time is billed at an hourly rate. If you don’t have a crane available or cannot organize one then this is the best and only option for you.
FOT DEPOT means Free on Truck in depot. With this container delivery method, the buyer is responsible for organizing a pickup from the chosen container depot. The seller will organize a lift to the chassis in the container depot, so you will not need a crane or side loader for the pickup.

How long can a container be used?
Shipping containers are made of corten steel. This sturdy material enables them to withstand extreme circumstances (wind, water, fire, ice, salt, sun) and any possible rough handling. A shipping container is used from 5-14 years for shipping; after this, they are released and used for other purposes, such as storage containers or modified container units for food and offices.
Containers that are not used for shipping are perfectly suitable to be used as storage containers. If taken care of, a used shipping container can be used for storage up to 10 years. It is also possible to extend the storage container’s use by regular maintenance, such as, painting, patching holes, changing seals, fixing the floor and taking care of or changing twist locks.
New shipping containers are usually brought to Europe from China. A new container can last anywhere up to 30 years when used as storage as long as it is looked after properly.
