20 ft Shipping Container – Triple Door with Double and Single Access

This 20 ft shipping container – triple door with double and single access provides exceptional loading flexibility with three access points: standard double doors at one end plus a convenient single side door. For example, you can load large items through the wide double end doors while accessing smaller items quickly through the side door. Therefore, this configuration eliminates the frustration of unloading half the container to reach items near the back.

Why Choose a Triple Door Container?

Standard single-door containers force you to unload from only one end, making rear items hard to reach. In contrast, this triple door configuration gives you three separate access points. Consequently, you can access different zones of the container independently. Moreover, the side door provides convenient entry for everyday items without opening the heavy main doors. Thus, you gain significant time savings and operational efficiency.

Key Features of This Triple Door Container

The three-door configuration and security features make this container stand out. For instance, the double end doors (approx. 4,600mm total width when fully open) allow wide access for pallets and equipment. Similarly, the single side door (typically 900mm wide x 2,000mm high) provides quick personnel access. Furthermore, each door features heavy-duty locking rods and padlock hasps for security. Finally, the Corten steel construction provides exceptional durability and weather resistance.

Door Configuration – Double End Doors + Single Side Door

This container features three doors arranged for maximum access flexibility. For example, the double end doors open to approximately 4,600mm total width, creating a wide opening for forklifts, pallets, and large equipment. Likewise, the side door measures approximately 900mm wide x 2,000mm high – perfect for personnel access without opening the main doors. If you need to access small items frequently, the side door saves significant time and effort compared to opening both main doors.

Usage Scenarios – Maximising the Triple Door Design

The triple door configuration excels in several operational scenarios. For example, use the double end doors for pallet loading and the side door for daily tool access. Likewise, you can partition the interior into two zones, using the side door for zone 1 and end doors for zone 2. Furthermore, multiple users can access the container simultaneously without waiting. If you share storage with multiple teams, each team can use a different door for independent access.

Corten Steel Construction – Built to Last

Corten steel makes this container exceptionally durable for outdoor use anywhere. First, the weathering steel (grade S355J2W) forms a stable, self-protecting rust patina over time. Second, this patina prevents deeper corrosion, unlike standard steel that continues rusting through. Third, the steel requires no painting or ongoing maintenance under normal conditions. Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions. Therefore, you can place this container anywhere without worrying about premature rust.

Wind and Watertight – Guaranteed Dry & Secure

We test each container to ensure wind and watertight integrity before delivery. For example, the rubber door seals prevent rain, snow, and dust from entering. Likewise, the welded seams throughout the container eliminate leak points. Furthermore, the lockable doors with heavy-duty rods provide security against unauthorised access. If you store valuable equipment or sensitive materials, this triple door container keeps them dry and secure.

20ft Dimensions – Compact but Versatile

The 20ft length makes this triple door container ideal for smaller sites with diverse access needs. For example, the internal length of approximately 19ft 4in accommodates 11 Euro pallets. Likewise, the internal width of approximately 7ft 8in-7ft 9in allows comfortable movement. If you need multi-access storage but lack space for a 40ft unit, this 20ft triple door container delivers the perfect solution.

What’s Included

First, every unit includes the 20ft Corten steel container with wind and watertight certification. Second, double doors at one end provide wide access (approx. 4,600mm total width). Third, a single side door (approx. 900mm wide x 2,000mm high) provides personnel access. Fourth, all doors feature heavy-duty locking rods and padlock hasps. Finally, the 28mm marine ply floor, CSC safety plate, and forklift pockets (4) complete the package.

For instance, you can add a factory-fitted lockbox for enhanced padlock security. Likewise, you can add a timber or concrete base kit for level installation. Furthermore, a full repainting service is available in any RAL colour. Contact our team for bulk orders.
