Keep loading equipment in mind
Palletized loads, carts and long materials need clear opening width and a workable approach. Verify door opening dimensions against the proposed equipment, not only the container exterior size.
Frequent access changes the best layout
A container opened a dozen times per shift may benefit from a personnel or roll-up door, while occasional bulk loading may be best served by original cargo doors.
Openings affect structure and security
Added doors require proper framing, weather detailing and locking hardware. Include those changes in the purchase specification and local permit review.
Check every door choice against the shipping container working dimensions and the modification guide.
- Cargo doors
- Double-door or tunnel units
- Roll-up and personnel doors
- Lockboxes and commercial hardware
