Are you looking for a proven, sturdy, and immediately available storage space that won’t burden your budget with a brand-new unit? Our twenty-foot (6-meter) shipping container (dry box) in IICL5 quality, stored in the depot in Venice, Italy, is exactly the right choice. This is a retired from service container that meets international standards for maritime transport and will deliver reliable service for many more years – whether as a storage space for materials, tools, seasonal equipment, or as a basis for a construction cabin or workshop. Container transport is not included in the price; independent pickup at the Venice, Italy depot is required.

• Maximum Gross Mass (MGW): 30 480 kg

Dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly by manufacturer.

IICL5 Quality – What Does It Mean?

The abbreviation IICL (Institute of International Container Lessors) designates a globally recognized standard for evaluating the condition of used containers. The IICL5 grade means that the container has passed regular technical inspections and is approved for further cargo transport – both by road, rail, and sea. In practice, this means:

• Fully functional and undamaged load-bearing structure, corner posts, and floor.
• Watertightness – the roof and walls are in intact condition, the container does not leak and protects the contents from moisture.
• Solid, well-sealing double-leaf doors with a fully functional locking mechanism.
• No active corrosion threatening structural integrity – common surface rust and minor paint abrasions are acceptable and correspond to the age of the unit.

A container in IICL5 quality is therefore not a decommissioned wreck, but a proven transport unit that has gone through several transport cycles while maintaining high operational value. It is ideal for those who want the maximum ratio of utility value to price and do not need the perfect appearance of a new container.

Who Is This Dry Box Suitable For?

This 20′ dry box is the ideal choice for:

• Companies looking for an affordable storage space for materials, tools, or a transport unit.
• Builders and tradesmen who need a secured space on the construction site.
• Farmers and growers for storing machinery, fertilizers, or harvest.
• Private individuals planning a conversion into a workshop, garden house, or seasonal storage.
• Creatives considering container housing, a sauna, or a refreshment stand – the robust IICL5 base is an excellent start for these projects.

Container Pickup in Italy, Venice

The container is located in a container depot in Venice, Italy. Transport is not included in the price and we, as the seller, do not arrange transport to the destination. You must arrange the pickup and removal yourself, ideally through a local Italian carrier who has experience with picking up containers from depots. After closing the deal, we will send you all the documents needed for pickup from the terminal – the container number, depot address, and instructions for handing over to the carrier. You must also arrange the unloading of the container at your destination address – for example, using a crane or hydraulic arm if you do not have your own ramp.

You will most likely receive a different unit than the one you see in the illustrative photos. We have more containers of the same category (20′, IICL5) in stock at the depot, and therefore the specific unit may differ in small details, shade of color, or arrangement of operational marks. However, we always guarantee matching quality, type, and size. Current color variants change daily, so we will gladly share the specific color before purchase – just ask. For safety reasons, customers are not allowed to enter the container terminal for a physical inspection of the container before purchase.

The 20-foot shipping container in IICL5 quality from the depot in Venice represents a great opportunity to obtain a reliable and spacious storage dry box on favorable terms. Its technical condition allows immediate deployment without the need for repairs, and thanks to the standardized dimensions and load capacity, it offers a wide range of uses.
