low-sided

With short edges

Low-sided describes something with sides that don't extend very high—a low-sided trailer, a low-sided pan.

The term appears most often with vehicles and containers where the height of the walls matters for what can be carried or contained.

In motorcycling, to low-side is to crash when the bike slides out from under the rider, the opposite of a high-side crash where the bike flips.
