About 20 Foot Shipping Containers with Roll Up Doors

A 20 foot roll up door container is a steel storage container measuring 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet 6 inches tall on the outside, equipped with an overhead roll up door at one end. Unlike traditional double cargo doors that swing outward, the roll up door lifts vertically along tracks and stores overhead when open.

This design gives you full-width access with zero swing clearance, which is why these units are popular for equipment storage, tool and inventory access, mobile workshops, and any setup where people or machinery move in and out frequently.

Key Features

  • Vertical roll up door: opens straight up for full-width, swing-free access
  • Forklift & pallet-jack friendly: drive equipment directly in and out with no door clearance needed
  • Corten (corrosion-resistant) steel: durable, long-life container-grade steel 14-gauge corrugated steel walls over a heavy 8-gauge steel frame
  • Marine-grade plywood flooring: rated to handle heavy loads and high-traffic use
  • Secure steel lockbox: robust locking system for added protection
  • Built-in vents: promote interior airflow
  • Customizable: modifications available to fit your specific use case
  • Buy or rent: sales nationwide, rentals available in California
  • Backed by Aztec Container: building storage and shipping containers since 1969

What Can You Use a 20ft Roll Up Door Container For

These containers work well for short-term or long-term storage across a wide range of uses:

  • On-site storage for building and construction supplies
  • Equipment and tool storage with quick daily access
  • Warehouse overflow and inventory staging
  • Mobile workshops and job-site operations
  • Commercial and home storage needs

The roll up door is the differentiator: anywhere you need to load and unload often — or move machinery in and out — the vertical door saves time and space compared with swing-out cargo doors.

FAQ's

What can I use a 20-foot roll up door container for?

Pretty much anything you’d store in a standard container, with easier in-and-out access. People use them for construction supplies, tools and equipment, warehouse overflow, inventory, mobile workshops, and general commercial or home storage. The roll up door makes them especially handy when you’re getting in and out of the container several times a day.

Standard cargo doors are two large panels that swing outward on hinges, so you need open space in front of the container for them to clear. A roll up door instead lifts vertically and tucks away overhead — no swing clearance required. That gives you a full, unobstructed opening and lets you place the container in tighter spots.

The interior measures roughly 19 ft 8 in long, 7 ft 8.5 in wide, and 7 ft 10 in tall, giving you about 1,165 cubic feet (≈33 m³) of usable space. That’s enough room for the contents of a small house or a sizable load of equipment and supplies.

A 20-foot container has a maximum contents weight capacity of approximately 67,196 lbs (30,480 kg). For everyday storage you’ll rarely come close to that ceiling, but it gives you plenty of margin for heavy equipment, machinery, or dense building materials.

Yes, that’s one of the main reasons people choose this style. Because the door rolls straight up and clears a full-width opening, a forklift or pallet jack can drive in and out without maneuvering around swinging door panels. It makes loading heavy or palletized goods much faster.

Roll-up doors improve accessibility and efficiency compared to standard cargo doors. They open vertically, allowing forklifts or equipment to move in and out easily without the need for door swing clearance. These containers are commonly used for job sites, warehouses, and mobile workshops where regular access is required.

The floors are marine-grade plywood roughly an inch thick, mounted on the steel cross-members of the frame. It’s built to take heavy loads and constant foot, cart, and forklift traffic without wearing out quickly.

Each container comes with a steel lockbox as part of the locking system, which shields the padlock and makes tampering much harder. Combined with the heavy-gauge steel construction, a roll up door container is a solid choice when security matters for your stored items.

Both options are available. Sales are offered nationwide, and rentals are available throughout California. Renting is a good fit for temporary projects, while buying makes sense for ongoing or permanent storage. Reach out for a quote on either.

A roll up door is a large overhead door built for moving goods and equipment in and out. A walk-in door (sometimes called a personnel or man door) is a standard-sized hinged door for people to enter easily, like a regular building door. Some setups use one or the other; others combine both. If you need frequent equipment access and easy personal entry, ask us about adding both.
