Rent double door storage containers when material has to move through the unit rather than in and out of one end. A double door container, also called a tunnel container, carries a full set of cargo doors at both ends instead of one.
CMG rents double door containers at 20ft and 40ft high cube, from $200 a month. Rentals run month to month with no minimum period and pickup is included in the rate. Delivery lands inside 48 to 72 hours from the nearest of five CMG-owned yards.
You can also rent storage containers in other sizes and configurations from the same yards.
Every CMG double door rental is built on a container meeting the standard ISO specification below. The door opening is identical at each end, so neither end is the narrow one.
| Specification | 20ft double door | 40ft double door high cube |
|---|---|---|
| Door opening at each end | 7 ft 8 in wide by 7 ft 5 in high | 7 ft 8 in wide by 8 ft 5 in high |
| External length | 20 ft (6.06 m) | 40 ft (12.18 m) |
| External width | 8 ft (2.44 m) | 8 ft (2.44 m) |
| External height | 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) | 9 ft 6 in (2.90 m) |
| Internal length | 19 ft 4 in (5.90 m) | 39 ft 9 in (12.11 m) |
| Internal width | 7 ft 8 in (2.35 m) | 7 ft 8 in (2.34 m) |
| Internal height | 7 ft 10 in (2.39 m) | 8 ft 10 in (2.69 m) |
| Cubic capacity | 1,170 cu ft (33.2 m³) | 2,690 cu ft (76.2 m³) |
| Ground footprint | 160 sq ft | 320 sq ft |
| Construction | Corten weathering steel, marine plywood floor | Corten weathering steel, marine plywood floor |
| Doors | Double cargo doors at both ends | Double cargo doors at both ends |
A double door holds the same volume as a standard container of the same size. The second door replaces the fixed end wall, so nothing is lost from the interior.
Drive-through access changes the loading sequence rather than the capacity. A forklift enters one end, sets its load, and drives out of the other instead of reversing the full length of the unit.
A forklift runs the unit end to end instead of reversing back out of it.
Two 7 ft 8 in openings
Whatever went in first comes out through whichever door is closer.
Loads from either end
A partition in the middle turns one container into two separate working ends.
20ft and 40ft high cube
CMG publishes two double door rental rates, both on new units. Rates below exclude delivery, which is quoted by address.
| Configuration | Monthly rate | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 20ft double door | From $200 | Two 7 ft 8 in openings at opposite ends of a 1,170 cu ft unit |
| 40ft double door high cube | From $350 | The same access at both ends across 2,690 cu ft |
The three configurations differ in where the container opens, not in how much it holds. Read the table by how your material actually moves on site, then pick the cheapest option that still works.
| Feature | Standard container | Double door container | Open side container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Access openings | One door at one end | One door at each end | One opening along the side |
| Opening width | 7 ft 8 in | 7 ft 8 in at each end | About 19 ft at 20ft, 39 ft at 40ft |
| From, per month at 20ft | $100 | $200 | $400 |
| Choose it when | The container is filled once and closed | Material moves through regularly | A forklift loads pallets side on |
A double door is the middle option and usually the right one where the same container is worked daily from two directions. Where a forklift has to reach any pallet at any time, an open side container for rent is the better fit at roughly double the rate.
A double door container costs more to buy outright than a standard box because both ends carry door frames and hardware.
Renting suits a defined project, a seasonal peak or a site that may not need the unit next year.
From $200 / mo at 20ft
Buying suits a permanent installation or a multi-year need.
Sold outright as well
CMG sells the same configurations outright, so the decision does not have to be made on day one.

A double door storage container is a shipping container with a full set of cargo doors at both ends instead of one. Both openings are the same size, so the unit loads from either end.
CMG double door rentals start at $200 a month for a 20ft unit and $350 for a 40ft high cube. Pickup is included in both rates.
No. A 20ft double door holds the same 1,170 cubic feet as a standard 20ft container. The second door replaces the end wall, not interior space.
You need working clearance at both ends rather than one. Allow room for the forklift to enter and exit, plus the swing of the cargo doors at each end.
A double door gives two 7 foot 8 inch openings at opposite ends. An open side gives one opening running the full length of the unit, about 19 feet at 20ft.
