40′ (12 m) HC Open Side, i.e., a raised side-opening shipping container. One long side of the container can be opened, and there are double doors at the end. A very practical model when you need a long, easy-to-load, and quick-to-deploy space solution.
40′ HC OS, i.e., a 12 m raised Open Side shipping container. This practical container differs from a traditional shipping container due to its door structure: the long side of the container opens, which makes loading and unloading considerably easier, especially for long goods, equipment, and project cargo. (OS/Open Side means that in addition to the end doors, the long side can also be opened.) The container is approximately 30 cm taller than a standard 20′ Open Side shipping container.
The side door is a folding door solution that can also be opened partially (e.g., 1/4, 1/2, or fully) as needed. The container complies with the ISO standard and is suitable for use as both storage and freight (CSC). The containers are equipped with ventilation valves as standard, and the floor material is typically plywood or bamboo. All doors can be locked with a padlock, and our rental containers are equipped with a welded protective cover.
The 40′ HC OS is particularly well suited for handling long goods and equipment, as it can be easily loaded from the side with a forklift. In addition, the 40′ HC OS works well at events, for pop-up use, and for temporary work and exhibition solutions when a lot of open wall space and plenty of room are needed.

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.
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 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.
Would you like to buy a container, but the price is just too much for your budget to pay in one payment? No worries, together with our partner we offer a flexible financial container lease service. We offer our clients the possibility of buying containers through a financial lease plan. This enables fast delivery with little capital investment. This payment type is only possible for clients with a European VAT ID.
Requirements
To order a shipping container through our lease plan service, the minimum order must be at least 500€, and the person leasing must have a European VAT number.
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.
