Containers with side opening
General-purpose containers are used for transporting many products, including bulk materials. Loaded through a shorter opening side, they require employees to develop an additional loading procedure if the transported goods need to be arranged according to access order or safety during transport. Therefore, transporting certain items with this type of container can be inconvenient, and the time required for loading and unloading increases. In many cases, it will be better to opt for a side-opening container.
Side-Opening Container — Differences and Applications
Universal containers are equipped with opening doors on the front wall (shorter side). Therefore, loading occurs along the length of the container. In the case of side-opening containers, in addition to the standard front doors, one of the longer walls of the container can be opened. This is why this type of container is referred to as a "full-access container." The most important feature of side-opening containers is their ability to enable much safer and faster loading of certain goods. When the order of removal is important, opening an entire wall significantly simplifies the process, allowing the most critical items to be extracted first. The open side also facilitates the quick and safe loading of goods that, due to their size, cannot fit through the front wall doors.
Applications of Side-Opening Containers
In addition to transport, side-opening containers are excellent for long-term storage of large items where there is uncertainty about which resources will need to be accessed first. Opening a wall allows for quick and safe retrieval of necessary goods. This type of container is also chosen where loading is done with forklifts.
