A one-trip 40ft high cube fitted with four side-opening doors along one flank in addition to a full end door. On a standard 40ft there is a single opening at one end, which means whatever sits at the far end comes out past everything in front of it. Doors down the flank let you load and unload wherever you like along the box, which turns a single 40ft shell into something closer to five separate access bays — and each of those bays stays closed, latched and sealed while you work the others.
Dimensions
- External: 12.19 × 2.44 × 2.90 m (40 ft 0 in × 8 ft 0 in × 9 ft 6 in)
- Internal: approximately 12.00 × 2.35 × 2.70 m (39 ft 4 in × 7 ft 9 in × 8 ft 10 in)
- Access: four side-opening door sets along one 40ft flank, plus one full end door
How it is built
- One trip only: a single loaded voyage out of the factory, so paint and seals are close to new
- Corrugated panels in anti-corrosive Corten weathering steel, for yards with no shelter
- Side vents keep the air moving and cut condensation under the roof
- Marine-grade plywood floor over steel cross members
- 9 ft 6 in high cube profile leaves headroom for racking above pallet height
What the four side doors change
- A forklift goes straight in from the side, with no forty-foot reach down a corridor
- Split the interior into zones, each served through a door of its own
- Stock rotates far faster than in a container with one end door
- Only the bay being worked is open to the weather
- Suits tool cribs, parts stores, event and vendor setups, and multi-bay storage
Siting a multi-door unit
A unit like this wants clear ground down at least one long side, so every door can open to its stop. Any door fouling a fence or a stacked pallet will never latch properly, and the gasket takes the punishment for it. Stand the container on a level pad or on blocks as well: side doors that bind almost always trace back to a twisted frame, and that is far harder to put right once the unit is loaded. Allow a straight approach of around 18 m of firm ground for a tilt-bed delivery.
Delivery, cover and your rights
Delivery is free to any UK address, and that takes in Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. No VAT is added at checkout, so the price on this page is the total payable. Where the site cannot take a tilt-bed, crane or HIAB offload is agreed in writing before delivery. As one-trip stock this container carries 12 months of cover against structural defects and water ingress — which on a multi-door unit is worth having, since there is considerably more sealing surface here than on a plain box. Separately, you keep 14 days to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and 30 days to reject the goods if they are faulty under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Site access requirements and lead times are set out in our delivery and placement policy.

Compare this against the 40ft HC open side container with 4 doors, which opens the flank rather than fitting doors into it, or step up to a completely clear opening with the 40ft full side opening one-trip container and the post-free 40ft full side access high cube. The wider high cube range lists every 9ft 6in unit we hold.
