• Reserve at least 60ft of straight space for 20ft and 100ft for 60ft container placement
• Ensure the site is accessible and level
• Consider preferred door orientation when the container is unloaded on site and communicate about your preferences with the delivery team so they know how to load the container on the vehicle

• Be ready on-site at least one hour prior to the scheduled drop-off

Use Cases for Shipping Containers with Side Doors

Here’s why so many customers choose containers with side door access:

• Wide or palletized good storage: easier loading and unloading process.
• Job site storage: quick and organized access to tools and materials without unloading everything. Multiple entry points improve workflow and efficiency.
• Pop-up shops, cafés and event installations: side access makes it easy to create open, welcoming retail or service areas. Perfect for customer-facing modifications like roll-up counters or walk-in spaces.
