CMG Containers, a leading U.S.-based provider of shipping containers and modular container solutions, has expanded its inventory of open side containers for sale in response to growing market demand for storage and transport solutions prioritizing accessibility, flexibility, and operational efficiency. The company now offers both 20ft and 40ft open side containers, supporting commercial, industrial, and project-based applications nationwide.
Traditional end-door containers often limit how goods can be stored, accessed, and staged, particularly with long materials, palletized inventory, or frequent loading cycles. Open side containers address this by replacing one full side wall with secure, lockable doors that open the entire container length. As logistics operations, construction sites, and distribution hubs prioritize speed and organization, these containers have become strategic assets rather than niche options.
"Access is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity," said Ken Malkoç, CEO of CMG Containers. "Our open side containers give customers the ability to load, unload, and manage inventory with precision, without compromising security or durability." The containers feature bi-fold or multi-panel side doors spanning nearly the entire unit length, transforming how space is used and materials flow.
Key advantages include faster loading and unloading with forklifts or pallet jacks, easier inventory organization along the container length, improved visibility and access to stored items, and reduced labor time and handling errors. CMG Containers ensures every open side container is built from premium corten steel, reinforced at stress points, and manufactured to ISO standards for strength, safety, and global transport compatibility.
The 20ft open side container is ideal for locations with limited space or operations requiring frequent access to smaller goods volumes, maintaining a compact footprint suitable for construction sites, retail back lots, or temporary project areas. The 40ft open side container provides expansive internal volume and uninterrupted side access for larger-scale operations involving long materials, bulk inventory, and high-turnover storage, commonly chosen by warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and logistics providers to streamline operations.
Open side containers from CMG Containers serve various industries where access, efficiency, and durability are critical, including construction material storage and staging, logistics and freight operations, manufacturing overflow storage, retail and event inventory management, equipment and tool storage, and temporary warehousing solutions. Their structural integrity and weather-tight seals ensure reliable performance in both short-term and long-term deployments, even in harsh environmental conditions.
Security concerns with side opening containers are addressed through reinforced door frames, heavy-duty locking mechanisms, and tight weather seals protecting against unauthorized access and environmental exposure. Each container includes multiple locking bars along side doors, reinforced hinges and door frames, wind and water-tight seals, and compatibility with advanced locking systems.
Beyond standard use, CMG Containers offers customization services allowing open side units to be adapted into functional modular spaces. Popular modifications include shelving and racking systems, electrical wiring and interior lighting, climate control and insulation, roll-up doors integrated into side openings, and branded finishes for commercial use, making containers suitable for modular workshops, mobile retail units, exhibition spaces, and site offices where visibility and access are critical.
The rise of just-in-time inventory, mobile operations, and temporary infrastructure has reshaped how businesses think about storage. Open side storage containers support these trends by offering flexibility that fixed buildings and traditional containers cannot match. By reducing handling time and improving workflow, they help businesses increase operational efficiency, reduce labor costs, improve safety during loading and unloading, and adapt quickly to changing site conditions.
With a strong logistics network and nationwide reach, CMG Containers provides prompt delivery of open side containers across the continental United States. Customers benefit from expert guidance during selection and transparent pricing. "Our goal is to remove friction from the buying process," added Malkoç. "From the first inquiry to final delivery, we focus on clarity, reliability, and long-term value."
