20′ High Cube container in RAL 6007 green – Mělník without transport

If you are looking for a reliable, spacious, and at the same time affordable storage, transport, or construction element for your vegetable-growing business, this 20-foot (6-meter) High Cube container in one-trip quality is exactly what you need. The container is located in the Mělník depot in the Czech Republic and is ready for immediate pickup – on its own, transport is not included in the price.

Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 20-Foot High Cube Container

High Cube containers differ from standard containers primarily in their increased internal height. The standard external dimensions of a 20-foot High Cube container are approximately 6.058 m in length, 2.438 m in width, and 2.896 m in height. The internal dimensions then offer roughly 5.898 m in length, 2.352 m in width, and 2.698 m in height. Thanks to this, it has a volume of up to 37.4 m³, which is noticeably more than a classic 20-foot container. The load capacity is around 28,000 kg, allowing even very heavy loads to be stored safely. This capacity is literally made for vegetable-growing operations – palletized goods, bagged vegetables, and bulky crates fit comfortably inside.

Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

One-Trip Quality IICL 6

The designation IICL 6 means that the container meets the standards of the Institute of International Container Lessors and is rated grade 6, i.e., as a one-trip container. This is a category that guarantees excellent technical condition while maintaining a favorable price. The container is fully functional, watertight, with no punctured walls, the floor is solid and without significant damage. The doors open and close easily, and the sealing is intact. Visually, there may be minor scratches or signs of a single sea voyage, however, the statics and overall integrity of the container remain in flawless condition. For vegetable-growing, where moisture, soil, and organic materials are often handled, this level of quality is entirely sufficient and at the same time economically advantageous.

Color RAL 6007 – Subtle Green for Nature

The container is painted in shade RAL 6007, which is often referred to as bottle green or hunter green. It is a dark, matte green shade that blends excellently into the rural environment and surroundings of vegetable farms. It looks unobtrusive, does not disturb the surrounding greenery, and at the same time is resistant to greying. The surface treatment protects the steel shell from corrosion and mechanical damage. If you prefer a different shade, the container color is available on request – multiple units can be selected at the depot, always in the same quality and size.

Use of the 20′ High Cube Container in Vegetable Growing

Who It’s For

This container is an ideal solution for small and medium-sized vegetable farms, family farms, vegetable growers operating their own farm-gate sales, as well as for fruit and vegetable businesses that need to expand storage capacities or set up a mobile sales stand. It will also appeal to beginning farmers looking for flexible and affordable infrastructure.

Storage Options and What Can Be Stored

The High Cube container, thanks to its higher ceiling, offers comfortable movement even for taller persons and allows stacking of crates or pallets. You can store:

• seasonal vegetables (potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, cabbage) in bags or crates,
• garlic and onions in tied bunches,
• pumpkins, zucchini, and other fruit vegetables freely placed on the floor,
• tools, irrigation equipment, packaging material, empty crates,
• seedlings, seeds, fertilizers, and substrates in closed packaging.

A 20-foot High Cube container can hold, for example, 10–12 euro pallets of goods, or hundreds of crates with vegetables. When storing potatoes in big bags, several tons of material can be accommodated. Thanks to its airtightness and the option of easy ventilation through the doors, the container can also be modified for short-term storage in the colder months.

Transport Options and What to Transport

The container itself is a transport unit. In vegetable growing, you can use it as:

• a warehouse on wheels – load vegetables directly in the field and take them to the distribution center,
• a mobile market – transport it to farmers’ markets and open it as a sales stand,
• a logistics link – transport the harvest from the field to the post-harvest line or to the cold store.

Practically any firm vegetables, fruits, flowers in crates, or bagged produce can be transported in it. It is important to ensure proper securing of the load and ventilation if needed.

Conversion Options and What It Can Be Converted Into

Thanks to its robust steel construction and generous internal space, the 20′ High Cube container is an excellent basis for various conversions:

• Sales stand – by cutting out a window and installing a counter, a full-fledged stand is created for farm-gate or farmers’ market sales.
• Storage box with shelves – built-in shelves allow efficient storage of crates and boxes.
• Cold store – after insulation and installation of a cooling unit, you get a mobile cold storage for temperature-sensitive vegetables (leafy greens, salads, herbs).
• Staff facilities – after minor modifications (windows, insulation, electricity), the container can be turned into a changing room, kitchenette, or office for farm staff.
• Equipment shelter – by removing a wall or doors, you get covered parking for a tractor, irrigation equipment, or other machinery.
• Combined use – leave part of the container as storage, convert the other part into a sales counter.

Advantages of the Container for Vegetable Growing

• High load capacity – can carry even heavy pallets of vegetables.
• Durability – withstands weather conditions, moisture, and pests (the steel shell protects against rodents).
• Security – lockable doors protect the harvest and equipment from theft.
• Modularity – it can be stacked, attached to another container, or simply moved according to seasonal needs.
• Fast installation – ready for use immediately after delivery, without complex building permits.
• Environmental aspect – a refurbished container gives a second life to quality material.

Other Uses in Vegetable Growing

In addition to the options mentioned, the container can also be used as:

• Facilities for self-harvest – equip it with a cash register, scale, and storage space for packaging.
• Fermentation station – for fermenting cabbage, cucumbers, or other vegetables in large barrels.
• Drying room – after installing ventilation and grilles, it can be used for drying herbs or fruit.
• Office and dispatch – create an office in it for keeping records and dispatching orders.

Ideas to Conclude

How about using the container as a seasonal “vegetable drive-in” – a customer arrives by car directly at the open doors and buys fresh vegetables without queuing? Or turn it into a mobile workshop for packing crates of fresh vegetables for delivery services? The possibilities are endless, and the only limits are your imagination.

Information on Pickup from the Mělník Depot, Czech Republic

Transport is not included in the price; the customer arranges it independently, as well as unloading at the place of destination. After closing the deal, you will receive all the information needed to pick up the container from the terminal in Mělník. We recommend arranging transport preferably through a local carrier. You will usually receive a different piece than the one in the illustrative pictures, as we have several containers at the depot and the colors and their availability change daily, but always in the same quality category, type, and size. The color is standardly RAL 6007, but on request we can specify the availability of other shades. For safety reasons, public access to the depot is not allowed, so a pre-purchase inspection of the container is not possible. However, we always guarantee a precise condition corresponding to the description.
