40ft Full Side Access High Cube Container

The 40ft Full Side Access High Cube Container combines the additional height of a High Cube container with a full-length side opening.

Unlike a conventional shipping container that primarily provides access through its end doors, the full side-access configuration allows the long side of the container to open, making it easier to load, unload and organise large, bulky or awkward items.

This configuration can be particularly useful for businesses and projects that require frequent access to stored goods or need to load equipment along the length of the container. Comparable products are used for industrial storage, workshops, retail applications, construction storage and logistics.

Key Features

• 40ft High Cube configuration
• Full-length side access
• Large side opening for easier loading and unloading
• Additional internal height compared with a standard-height container
• Steel construction
• End cargo doors
• Suitable for bulky and oversized items
• Suitable for commercial and industrial storage
• Practical for workshops and project sites
• Suitable for specialised container conversions

Why Choose a Full Side Access Container?

The main advantage is accessibility.

The large side opening can make it easier to:

• Load pallets from the side
• Move bulky equipment into the container
• Access items positioned throughout the container
• Organise warehouse inventory
• Load long materials
• Use forklifts for side loading
• Configure the container as a workshop or specialised storage space

Comparable full-side-access models have side openings of around 11.8–12.0m, although the exact opening depends on the container design.

Ideal Applications

Industrial Storage

For machinery, equipment, tools, spare parts and industrial materials.

Construction

Useful for storing building materials, tools and site equipment.

Commercial Storage

Suitable for stock, inventory and warehouse overflow.

Workshops

The full side opening provides convenient access for equipment and materials.

Retail & Events

Can be converted or fitted out for retail displays, event storage and specialised commercial applications.

Oversized Equipment

The large side opening can simplify the handling of bulky or awkward items that are difficult to load through standard end doors.

Product Specifications

Comparable 40ft High Cube full-side-access containers are commonly listed with the following dimensions. Verify the actual Aussie Container unit before publishing these figures as fixed specifications.

Important Information

Because full-side-access containers require structural modifications to accommodate the large opening, do not automatically use the payload or gross-weight specifications of a standard 40ft High Cube container.

Different manufacturers list different tare and maximum gross weights for this configuration. For example, comparable listings show tare weights around 5,700–6,200kg and maximum gross weights around 24,000kg.

Therefore, the following should be confirmed for the actual container:

• Exact dimensions
• Side-opening dimensions
• End-door configuration
• Tare weight
• Maximum gross weight
• Payload capacity
• Flooring
• Locking system
• Container condition
• Certification/CSC plate status
• Lifting and handling requirements

If the container will be used for international shipping, confirm that the specific unit has the appropriate current certification and is suitable for the intended cargo operation.

Delivery Across Australia

Aussie Container provides shipping container solutions for customers across Australia.

Delivery arrangements and costs depend on:

• Delivery postcode
• Container dimensions and weight
• Transport availability
• Site access
• Ground conditions
• Placement requirements
• Unloading equipment

Due to the size of a 40ft High Cube container, customers should confirm that the delivery site has adequate access and sufficient space for positioning the container.
