Use of a decommissioned shipping container for storage in animal husbandry

Shipping containers that are no longer used in international transport find a new life in storage for animal breeders. Thanks to their robust construction, weather resistance, and security, they provide an ideal solution for storing everything needed directly on a farm or estate.

Decommissioned container, although not suitable for conversions or major structural modifications, serves perfectly as a storage space with a wide range of applications.

Wide storage possibilities: from products to tools

In the container you can store almost everything animal breeders need:

• Animal products – feed, bedding, vitamins, medicines and other breeding supplies are kept safe, protected from moisture and pests.
• Materials – baled hay, straw, bedding, bagged materials or hay bales can be stored efficiently in one place.
• Equipment and tools – wheels, shovels, feed troughs, drinkers, electric fences, buckets or small tools are always at hand, neatly organized and protected from the elements.
• Maintenance supplies – paints, varnishes, workwear, spare parts and other farm maintenance items find a safe home in the container.
• Goods for sale – surplus production, hay bales, eggs, dairy products or other items can be temporarily stored before shipment.

The shipping container thus brings simplicity and order to the daily operation of a breeding station or farm.

Advantages of storage in a shipping container

Used shipping container has several advantages over ordinary warehouses or temporary shelters:

• Security – robust steel construction protects against break‑ins, animals and weather conditions.
• Flexibility – if needed, the container can be easily moved to another spot on the property.
• Durability – containers are built for demanding conditions and last many years with minimal maintenance.
• Quick installation – without the need for building permits or complex construction, you get an instantly functional storage unit.

Storage options in a 20‑foot container

The most popular variant for breeders is the 20‑foot container (approximately 6 m long). This standard size offers an internal volume of about 33 m³ and a load capacity of over 20 tons, which means:

• You can store hundreds of bales of hay or straw, several tons of feed, or complete equipment for an entire farm.
• Thanks to the high load capacity you can safely store heavier equipment such as mowers, mixing wagons or small machinery.
• Wide doors allow easy access and handling of larger items.

What equipment can be further stored in the container?

Breeders use containers not only for feed and materials, but also for:

• Seasonal equipment (e.g., tents, portable fences, spare roofing).
• Disinfection and cleaning agents.
• Tools for maintaining pens and stables.
• Packaging material supplies for preparing products for sale.

Safe and sustainable solution

Using decommissioned shipping containers represents an ecological and financially advantageous way to obtain quality storage space without new construction. Every container that receives a second life helps reduce the burden on the environment.

A decommissioned shipping container is an ideal choice for animal breeders seeking a versatile, safe and durable solution for storing all necessities. Simply install it, fill it, and be assured that everything important is always in order and at hand. Gain clarity, safety and organization in your operation by using a shipping container!
