A container side having an upper part (6) and a lower part (7) hinged together by a hinge (19) so the upper part can pivot relative to the lower part.To substantially eliminate pressure loads on the hinge as are exerted by the load within the container of which the side is an element, load resisting means (12, 15) are provided to couple adjacent sides of the upper and lower parts. In a hinging sequence of the upper part (6) relative to the lower part (7) from a loading condition where the parts (6, 7) are overlying to an operational condition where they are coplanar, the load resisting means (12, 15) will automatically engage when the side parts (6, 7) approach the operational condition and will automatically disengage when the upper part (6) is hinged from the coplanar operational condition.
