Easy Access

Available in both 20ft standard and 40ft high cube options, the tri-door container is ideal for situations where additional access is required. The new (one trip) tri-door system is available in RAL 6007, 5013, and 5010.

Tri-door Shipping Container Applications

Similar to our tunnel containers, this range is particularly useful for businesses who need to store their stock for longer periods of time or require access to both ends of the container. The double end access points make it easier to manage and maintain stock levels or reach desired goods at short notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

As Euro Pallets are 200mm narrower, they can be positioned lengthwise in a 40ft shipping container, however Standard Pallets cannot. More information on how many pallets fit into different sizes of containers can be found on our blog.

The cubic metre capacity (CBM) of a standard 40ft shipping container is approximately 2,360cu ft (66.83m3) and the cubic capacity of a high cube 40ft container is 2,660cu ft (75.32m3).
