Schweiss Doors Makes Any Container


Shipping and commercial containers come in many forms and sizes, but many don’t have door accessibility. Even dealing with conventional containers with a door located at the end can be a hassle. Now Schweiss Doors can make any container, whether it be for backyard storage, rail or ship transport, much more user-friendly by fitting it with one or more hydraulic doors on the sides or both ends for increased, easy access.

Imagine having to open a container door and then you fill it completely full from front to back. Then you remember you need to get something from the center. It’s really cumbersome and not easy to get things out of a container once it is stacked full. You could use the option of leaving an aisleway down the center, but that makes storage space even smaller.

Containers with side or endwall steel doors can easily be opened and closed for loading or unloading with a forktruck or other means. Container doors can be attached to all four sides of a container or even on the top of it. Schweiss Door engineers can work with you to design any configuration you might desire.

Schweiss one-piece hydraulic container doors are prehung on their own frame with the best compact pump on the market, strong cylinders and spherical bearings. They can be opened and closed by remote control quickly and quietly and have very few moving parts.  A hydraulic door which opens from the bottom up also provides a canopy or awning protecting the inner contents from excessive sun or inclement weather.

All Schweiss doors are custom made to fit your container to exact measurements. These doors can be designed with windows, walk doors or to accept any exterior cladding or insulation desired. When you close the container doors you can also be assured that your product is burglar-proof and secure, but easy to get to.


Schweiss doesn’t just make container doors, they can also build you a customized container or design a container for use at trade shows. A sidewall hydraulic door on a container can also serve as a display booth.  The beauty of this is the container is all self-contained and can be set up or closed down secure and fast.  When you arrive at a show site, all you have to do is open the door and you are in business. It’s ideal for companies marketing, displaying and selling their wares, and even for food vending containers on wheels. The possibilities are endless.
