Shipping containers including modifications

5. 4. 2024

Shipping containers are modular, standardized metal boxes designed for the transport and storage of goods and materials. They are key elements in international maritime transport and logistics thanks to their universal form and uniform standard, which allows easy handling and movement using special equipment such as cranes and container ships.

Shipping containers are typically available in various sizes, such as 20 feet (referred to as “TEU” – Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit), 40 feet, and in some cases 45 feet, with standard widths and heights. These containers have a solid steel construction that is resistant to weather effects and mechanical stress during handling and transport.

Containers can also be modified and customized for specific purposes and needs. Modifications may include the installation of additional windows, doors, ventilation, lighting, electrical outlets, or air conditioning units. Containers can also be modified for special purposes such as refrigeration (refrigerated containers), heating (heated containers), storage of hazardous materials (ADR containers), office containers, or containers converted into shops, restaurants, or even accommodation facilities.
