New 20ft Standard Open Side Shipping Container in Indianapolis, Indiana Description
Side access changes what the container can do — Indianapolis, Indiana
For most storage applications, end-door access works fine. For applications involving wide loads, lateral forklift work, or setups where the open face of the container is part of the design — retail displays, event stages, workshop fronts — end-door access is the wrong format. The open side container is the right one.
Buyers in Indianapolis, Indiana searching for a conex container, a 20ft storage container, or a new one-trip open side shipping container for sale will find this unit covers all of those categories.
One-trip condition: factory-clean interior, treated floor, fresh seals and panel hardware. Wind and watertight when the panel is closed. The end doors remain fully functional — you can use either or both access points depending on your workflow.
Discounts are available for qualifying orders including military, first responders, bulk purchases, and returning customers. Two 20ft containers can often be transported on the same trailer — ask at quote if you need a pair.

Forklift operation. Side approach was the only way this worked.

Market stall with full lateral display. Open side was the design. Condition was actually better than I expected for used grade. One-trip condition is immediately obvious in person.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this container suitable for a conversion or workshop setup?
Many customers choose this style as a conversion base because the access layout supports flexible interiors and build-outs. The 20ft Standard Open Side is popular for commercial storage where access matters.
How secure are the doors?
Doors lock with heavy-duty locking bars and standard container hardware. Many customers also add a lockbox for extra padlock protection. The 20ft Standard Open Side is popular for commercial storage where access matters.
Is this container good for retail or event use?
Yes. Open-side designs are commonly chosen for pop-up retail and events because the wide opening improves visibility and access. Many buyers choose the open side layout to keep storage organized.
Is the container wind and watertight when closed?
When properly shut and latched, the container is wind and watertight for reliable storage. For best results, keep the placement area level and the doors fully latched after use.
Can I use this for outdoor storage year-round?
Outdoor placement is common. A level foundation and good drainage around the site help long-term performance. A simple site-prep check before delivery usually prevents most placement issues.
What’s the difference between open side and side door designs?
The open side design is ideal for wide access and display. Side doors are better for quick access to sections without opening the entire side. For best results, keep the placement area level and the doors fully latched after use.
How should I place the container to protect the floor and keep doors aligned?
A level base helps keep doors aligned. Many customers use compacted gravel, a concrete pad, or evenly spaced supports. For best results, keep the placement area level and the doors fully latched after use.
Can I add shelving or racking inside?
Absolutely. Shelving and hooks can turn the container into a highly organized storage space. The 20ft Standard Open Side is popular for commercial storage where access matters.
