20′ Double Door container, 203 405-9

If you are looking for a durable, spacious and at the same time maximally accessible storage or shipping container, the 20-foot (6-metre) model in the Double Door specification is exactly what you need. This is a container that has doors at both ends, giving you unmatched flexibility for loading and unloading. This specific unit is located in the depot in Genoa, Italy, is IICL6 quality after one trip and comes in the attractive RAL 7016 colour. Transport of the container is not included in the price, self-pickup from the Genoa depot is required.

Dimensions, load capacity and volume – what fits in a 20-foot container

A standard 20-foot container has precisely defined external and internal dimensions, making it globally compatible with all modes of transport.

• External dimensions: length 6.058 m, width 2.438 m, height 2.591 m
• Internal dimensions: length approximately 5.898 m, width 2.352 m, height 2.385 m
• Volume: approx. 33.2 m³ (cubic metres)
• Container weight (tare): around 2,200–2,300 kg
• Maximum gross weight: 30,480 kg
• Payload capacity: up to 28,200 kg (depending on the exact weight of the empty container)

In the internal space with a volume of more than 33 cubic metres you can comfortably store furniture, building materials, machinery, pallets of goods or even bulkier items. The double doors also allow access from both sides, so you can use every centimetre without having to handle the cargo inside. The dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

Double Door – doors at both ends for maximum convenience

The Double Door specification means that the container has standard double-wing doors on not just one, but both ends. This brings significant advantages:

• you can load and unload from either side,
• when storing longer items (pipes, boards) you don’t have to turn the whole container around,
• it can also be used as a walk-through warehouse or a tunnel for temporary roofing,
• when converting into a living unit or office, the doors on both sides are useful for separating the entrance and exit to the terrace.

All doors are equipped with robust three-point locking mechanisms that ensure a high level of security and protection against unauthorised entry. Locking remains reliable even with frequent use.

IICL6 Quality – one-trip, practically as new

The container is certified to IICL6 quality. This is a standard set by the International Institute for Container Leasing (IICL) that designates a container after one sea voyage – the so-called one-trip or single-trip. In practice this means:

• it was manufactured, loaded, shipped and after one voyage retired from the transport chain,
• it has not undergone any repair or renovation because it doesn’t need one,
• it is free of corrosion, dents and damage,
• the floor is completely intact, with no signs of wear,
• the doors seal perfectly and open smoothly,
• it meets strict requirements for water-tightness and structural strength.

In other words, you get a container that is comparable in condition to a new one, but at significantly more favourable terms. It is immediately ready for use – whether for storage, transport or further conversion.

Colour RAL 7016 – anthracite grey as a modern standard

The colour finish RAL 7016, known as anthracite grey, is among the most sought-after shades for containers intended for architectural and design purposes. This dark, elegant grey looks extremely modern and blends easily with its surroundings – whether you place it on a construction site, in the garden or as a base for a living unit.

Containers in RAL 7016 are also treated with a high-quality surface finish resistant to weather, so the colour remains stable even with long-term exposure to sun and rain. Please note that the colour of the container is always on request – availability may change daily, but it is always units in the same IICL6 quality category and Double Door specification.

Opening and security – three-point locking

Each wing of the double doors is equipped with a three-point locking system. This means that the locking bars engage into the top, bottom and side frame, firmly fixing the door around the entire perimeter. Even in strong wind, vibrations or attempted forced entry, the cargo remains safe. Against theft, a padlock and additional sealing can also be used.

Use and recommendations – for whom is the container ideal

This 20-foot Double Door container offers a wide range of uses. It is suitable for:

• Storage: companies, farmers, construction companies will appreciate the 33 m³ volume and double doors for easy handling.
• Transport of goods: thanks to IICL6 certification, the container is fully suitable for both sea and road transport.
• Mobile workshops and service back-up: sufficient space for tools, shelving and a workbench.
• Conversion into a living unit, office or pop-up shop: excellent starting condition, no hidden defects.
• Garden house or garage: the modern anthracite colour fits into any environment.
• Temporary roofing or walk-through warehouse: doors at both ends allow two spaces to be connected.

Thanks to its mobility, the container can easily be moved to another location using standard transport equipment. When planning a conversion, we recommend consulting structural modifications with a specialist so that the structural integrity is maintained.

Storage in the Genoa depot – Italy

This container is physically stored in the container depot in Genoa, Italy. This is a large logistics centre from which it can easily be picked up and transported across Europe. Important notice: transport is not included in the price and we do not arrange it. The customer must arrange pickup and transport independently.

After the deal is closed, we will send you all the documents and information needed to pick up the container from the terminal. You then hand these documents over to the carrier of your choice (ideally a local haulier), who will pick up the container from the depot and deliver it to the destination of your choice. Likewise, you will arrange unloading of the container at the destination yourself – for example using a crane or a hydraulic arm.

We strongly recommend using the services of a carrier with experience in transporting containers and who has the appropriate equipment. For safety reasons, customers are not allowed to enter the depot for the purpose of inspecting the container. Pickup takes place exclusively through an authorised carrier.

There are several containers in the same specification (Double Door, IICL6, dimensionally identical) located in the depot. Illustrative photographs serve only as an indication of the type and quality. You will generally receive a different specific unit than the one shown in the picture. It is always, however, a container in the same quality category, type and size. Always check the colour of the container in advance on request, as it changes daily according to current stock.

The 20-foot Double Door container in IICL6 quality after one trip in the RAL 7016 colour is a top choice for anyone who demands durability, versatility and a modern look. Its technical condition is comparable to a practically new container, the double doors ensure maximum accessibility and the anthracite colour adds a timeless design. Although you must arrange transport from Genoa, Italy yourself, getting hold of such a quality unit pays off – whether for storage, transport or a creative conversion. Do not hesitate to ask about current availability and colour, as these containers sell quickly.
