Specialty access

Same shell. Different ways in.

Double-door and open-side units generally follow their base 20FT or 40FT shell footprint, but access openings, tare weight and hardware differ. Confirm the actual unit before planning clearance.

01

Site footprint

Allow for shell, door swing, working clearance and a firm level base.

02

Delivery access

Confirm approach width, turning room, overhead clearance, grade and door direction.

03

Door clearance

Compare your widest and tallest item to the actual opening.

04

Weight & loading

Use the CSC plate for exact tare, maximum gross and payload.

Planning estimates, clearly shown.

Dimensions and weights vary. Derkson confirms the selected unit before delivery; customers remain responsible for site suitability, permits, structural design and safe loading.
