40'HC
BOXWELL
The 40'HC Full Side Opening Container is designed with an extended opening along the side of the container, providing significantly more lateral access than a conventional dry cargo container that relies mainly on end-door loading.
The side-opening arrangement is particularly useful when cargo dimensions, shape or handling procedures make loading through standard end doors inconvenient.
It provides greater flexibility for loading and unloading:
● Large industrial equipment
● Bulky cargo
● Wide components
● Irregularly shaped cargo
● Cargo requiring access from the side
The actual loading method should be determined according to cargo dimensions, weight and handling requirements.
A vertical middle post is incorporated into the opening side as part of the container's structural configuration.
This central structural member helps maintain the integrity of the side-opening arrangement while allowing extensive access to the cargo space from the side.
Because the exact middle-post and door configuration may vary according to the approved design, details such as the opening arrangement and operating method should be confirmed from the final technical drawing.
The 40'HC configuration provides the additional vertical space associated with a high cube container while retaining the advantages of full-side cargo access.
This combination is useful for cargo that requires both:
● Greater internal height
● Wider side access during loading and unloading
The exact dimensions and loading parameters should be confirmed according to the approved product specification.
The container is manufactured using a high-strength steel structure with precision CNC cutting and standardized welding processes.
The frame, wall structures and side-opening components are fabricated according to the approved container design to maintain structural stability during handling, transportation and repeated use.
The steel surface undergoes Sa2.5 abrasive blasting before application of the specified protective coating system.
The coating configuration includes:
● Zinc-rich epoxy primer
● Epoxy intermediate coat
● Acrylic top coat
Paint thickness and coating adhesion are inspected during the coating process.
This surface treatment helps protect the steel structure against corrosion during outdoor storage, marine transportation and normal logistics operations.
The 40'HC Full Side Opening Container is primarily designed for cargo transportation applications where convenient side access can improve loading and unloading efficiency.
Large machinery and industrial equipment may be difficult to position through conventional container end doors.
The full-side opening provides a wider access area, allowing loading arrangements to be planned around the shape and dimensions of the equipment.
The container is suitable for bulky or irregularly shaped cargo where restricted end-door access makes conventional loading inefficient.
Side access provides greater flexibility when positioning cargo inside the container.
Long, wide or large industrial components can benefit from an extended side opening, particularly when multiple access points are required during cargo positioning and securing.
The final suitability depends on cargo dimensions, weight distribution and securing requirements.
For logistics operations where cargo needs to be accessed from different positions along the container body, a full-side opening configuration can provide greater operational flexibility than a conventional end-opening dry container.
As an ISO shipping container product, this container is intended for multimodal logistics applications involving road, rail and sea transportation.
The final transportation arrangement should comply with the approved container specification, CSC requirements where applicable, cargo securing requirements and individual carrier rules.

It is a 40-foot high cube shipping container designed with extensive cargo access along the side of the container rather than relying only on conventional end doors.
This configuration is ideal for cargo that is difficult to load or unload through standard end-door openings.
The vertical middle post forms an essential structural member along the opening side of the container.
It maintains the structural rigidity and load-bearing integrity of the full-side opening configuration while providing wide lateral access to the cargo space.
Standard configurations include a fixed structural vertical middle post. We can also engineer and manufacture a removable or swing-away middle post upon request to meet specific cargo loading requirements.
A conventional dry cargo container is primarily loaded through its end doors.
A full-side opening container provides much broader lateral access, simplifying the handling of long, wide, or irregularly shaped cargo, and enabling direct access to goods positioned at any location along the container body.
Typical applications include:
● Industrial equipment
● Bulky cargo
● Wide components
● Large machinery
● Irregularly shaped cargo
● Project cargo requiring side access
