40ft Open Side Shipping Container
The 40ft Open Side shipping container offers unique loading and access possibilities through its fully openable side wall. With 59.3 cubic meters cargo space and 12-meter side opening, it is optimal for forklift loading and order picking. This solution is ideal for logistics centers and industrial operations.
