40'HCSO
BOXWELL
The 40'HC Single Side Four Doors Container is designed with a four-door opening configuration along one side of the container, providing additional lateral cargo access compared with a conventional dry cargo container that relies mainly on rear doors.
The multiple side-door arrangement gives operators access to different sections of the cargo space, making loading, unloading and cargo retrieval more flexible for logistics operations involving palletized goods, industrial products and other general dry cargo.
This model is a 40'HC Single Side Four Doors Container / 40FT HC Single Side 4-opening door container within our standard ISO shipping container range.
The 40'HC configuration combines a 40-foot container length with high-cube height, providing more vertical cargo space than a standard-height 40-foot container.
A typical 40HC format is approximately 40 feet long and 9 feet 6 inches high. However, the final external dimensions, internal dimensions and individual side-door openings for this model should be confirmed from the approved technical drawing rather than assumed from generic industry data.
The container structure is manufactured using precision CNC cutting and standardized welding processes to provide a stable overall structure.
For a container incorporating multiple openings along one side, the frame, side-door structure and surrounding structural members are manufactured according to the approved container design.
The structural design should not be modified without engineering review because changes to the door arrangement may affect container strength, testing and certification requirements.
Before painting, the steel structure undergoes Sa2.5 abrasive blast cleaning.
The coating system includes:
● Zinc-rich epoxy primer
● Epoxy intermediate coat
● Acrylic top coat
Paint thickness and coating adhesion are also inspected during production.
This protective system helps reduce corrosion during outdoor storage, port handling and marine transportation.
The container follows ISO 1496-1 requirements.
ISO 1496-1 specifies requirements and testing for Series 1 general cargo freight containers intended for international interchange and transportation by road, rail and sea.
The 40'HC Single Side Four Doors Container is primarily suitable for dry cargo logistics where additional side access can improve cargo handling and retrieval.
The multiple side-door configuration can provide easier access to palletized goods positioned at different points along the container.
Instead of relying only on rear-door access, operators can use the available side openings according to the cargo arrangement and site conditions.
This can be useful for:
● Palletized products
● Cartoned goods
● Packaged industrial products
● General distribution cargo
The actual forklift or handling arrangement should be determined according to the approved door dimensions, floor loading requirements and operating environment.
Industrial machinery, packaged equipment and wide components that are difficult to maneuver through conventional rear doors can benefit from additional lateral access.
The final suitability depends on:
● Cargo dimensions
● Cargo weight
● Center of gravity
● Door opening dimensions
● Handling equipment
● Cargo securing requirements
A four-door arrangement along one side can be useful where operators need access to different sections of the container during loading, unloading or temporary storage.
This differs from a conventional dry container, where cargo located toward the front of the container may be less convenient to reach through rear doors alone.
The side-door configuration can also support logistics and storage operations where goods need to be accessed repeatedly rather than loaded once and removed only at the final destination.
Possible use cases include:
● Distribution centers
● Warehouse operations
● Temporary cargo storage
● Industrial project logistics
This model is a standard ocean container suitable for multimodal logistics shipments.
ISO 1496-1 covers applicable Series 1 freight containers intended for interchange between road, rail and sea transportation.
Actual acceptance should still be confirmed according to the approved container certification, transport route, carrier requirements and cargo loading plan.

CSC Certificate
Every offshore container passes through a complete manufacturing process under strict quality control.
Our manufacturing site covers approximately 60,000 m², with more than 30,000 m² of workshop space. The workshop area is approximately 32,000 m², and the production operation includes more than 200 workers.
This manufacturing base supports standard shipping containers as well as customized and special container products.
Our production equipment includes:
● Steel uncoiling machines
● Sanding / surface preparation equipment
● Laser cutting machines
● Automatic welding machines
● Independent painting rooms
These facilities allow major steel processing, welding and coating stages to be carried out within the manufacturing operation.
We have an experienced engineering team capable of providing technical support.
This capability is relevant for a four-side-door container because modifications to door dimensions, structural openings or internal configurations can affect the structural and certification requirements of the finished container.
Our factory has passed ISO 9001 quality management system certification and holds LR Factory Approval.
These factory-level qualifications should be distinguished from the product-specific CSC certification required for individual shipping container projects.
We operate our own ISO CSC certification testing room equipped with professional testing facilities for applicable CSC testing.
The required tests for an individual four-door container should still be determined according to the approved product design and certification scope.
Our product range includes ISO shipping containers, customized containers, storage containers and offshore containers as separate product categories.
Keeping these categories separate is important: a customized door arrangement on an ISO shipping container does not automatically make the product an offshore container.
Qingdao Port is our primary and most convenient port for delivery arrangements, and other ports can also be discussed according to customer requirements.
It is a 40-foot high cube shipping container designed with four opening-door sections along one side, providing additional lateral cargo access compared with a conventional rear-door dry container.
The model is 40'HCSO.
The additional side openings provide access to different sections of the cargo space.
This can make loading, unloading and cargo retrieval more flexible, particularly for palletized goods, packaged industrial products and cargo that is difficult to reach efficiently through rear doors alone.
Not necessarily. This model is a Single Side Four Doors Container / Single Side 4-opening Door Container, while full-side-opening containers are separate products.
The exact opening arrangement and door dimensions should therefore be confirmed from the technical drawing rather than assumed to be identical to a full-side-opening model.
Typical applications can include:
● Palletized goods
● Cartoned products
● Industrial equipment
● Packaged machinery
● Wide components
● General dry cargo requiring side access
Final suitability depends on cargo dimensions, weight, door-opening dimensions and the approved container payload.
The side-door arrangement can facilitate lateral cargo handling where the approved door dimensions and operating conditions allow it.
Before using a forklift, the customer should confirm:
● Individual door opening dimensions
● Forklift dimensions
● Cargo weight
● Floor loading
● Available working space
These details should be checked against the approved technical specification.
The product follows ISO 1496-1, and a CSC Certificate is available depending on project requirements.
The applicable testing and documentation package should be confirmed according to the final order.
No. The product belongs to:
ISO Shipping Containers → Standard Shipping Container.
It should not automatically be described as a DNV-ST-E271 or EN 12079 offshore CCU.
For accurate technical evaluation, it is recommended to provide:
● Required quantity
● Cargo type
● Cargo dimensions
● Cargo weight
● Required side-door opening dimensions
● Loading and unloading method
● Required certification
● Exterior color and markings
● Destination
● Any special structural or accessory requirements
If the four-door arrangement needs to be changed from the standard product configuration, the proposed modification should be reviewed before production because structural changes may affect testing and certification.
