Shipping Container Doors & Hatches

Shipping containers come standard with cargo doors on one or both (DD) ends. These doors are fitted with vertical locking rods that are secure but somewhat unwieldy, proving inefficient for frequent access to the container.

In many cases, additional access doors are created by removing sections of the container wall, welding hinges and converting the wall piece to a swinging door.

We can cut, weld, bend, fold and add/or remove steel components to create just about any safe access solution for your project.

In terms of planning a container modification project, try to plan out these kinds of structural modifications as early on in the modification process as possible.

Container Access Options

When designing your modification specs, be sure to let us know if you need custom sized fabricated doors (specific widths, heights and location of doors).

Fabricated Doors: Double or single doors that swing out to the side, swing up acting as a roof or swing down acting as a platform.
Personnel Doors: Easy access doors with lockable handles for staff and visitors
Roller Doors: Doors that roll up, useful for frequently accessed storage
Hatch Doors: Small swing out doors often used for machinery attachments or training purposes
