Why Choose a 20ft Double Door Container?
Access From Either End
Unlike a standard container, 20ft double door containers can be opened from either end, giving you much easier access to the things you need to store. This saves you time and makes loading, unloading and retrieving far quicker.
Faster Loading & Unloading
Being able to access the unit from both ends means pallet trucks and forklifts can load and unload things more efficiently, reducing unnecessary handling time and helping keep your goods moving quickly through your business.
Better Organisation
With 20ft tunnel containers, you can separate different products, rotate stock using a first in, first out (FIFO) system and retrieve your stored items without having to move everything else first. It’s a good fix for organised, efficient storage.
Secure & Weatherproof
Manufactured from durable Corten steel, our 20ft double door shipping containers are wind and watertight, with robust locking systems to help protect your goods from theft, vandalism and the famous Great British weather.

If you’re unsure which option best suits your requirements, our experienced team is always happy to help you find the right solution.
If you think you might need more storage capacity with the added benefit of double doors, we also offer 40ft double door containers.
