Here we will be talking about two most used types of containers- Side door and Double door that can be used for both- storage and transportation.

1.Side Door: Side door containers are a bit different from other types. These are one of the most efficient options as they are built with wide entry door to access goods. Their one side along the length is fully or partially opened by means of a hinged door or hinged sides divided by the section to access the interior. This poses many benefits, not the least which ease of transferring lengthwise items and cargo such as automobiles, vehicles. That side cum door is either made of steel or tarpaulin that can open fully to 270 degrees. Depending upon the model, they offer different opening possibilities for the front, rear, and side.

2.Double Door: If you are looking to access your belongings frequently then going for double door containers would match your requirement. It gives entry on both sides and enables the loading and unloading of goods from both the end. The containers look like a tunnel if you open it from both sides. It is ideal for the loading of goods from both ends and can also be separated into compartments. 

Since it has two entry points, it does cost more to use. But at the same time, it is well worth to be able to get to the things you need without unloading the entire container.

Its different dimension enables you to acquire containers as per your cargo size and requirement.
