Dimensions and capacity of the 6m container
The 20-foot shipping container complies with certified international dimensions that guarantee compatibility with transport equipment and easy handling.

The interior space provides a volume of approximately 33.2 m³, length of 5.898 meters, width of 2.352 meters, and height of 2.385 meters. The maximum payload of this container reaches up to 28.2 tons, while the tare weight is around 2.2 tons. This combination ensures ample space for storing bulky items while also providing the strength for safe transport. The dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
IICL 6 Quality and RAL 7035 color
The container meets the IICL 6 standard, which is a rating according to the Institute of International Container Lessors. The IICL 6 designation means it is a decommissioned but fully functional container that has undergone regular maintenance and inspection. Its structure is intact, without leaks, the doors seal properly, and the floor is solid – minor cosmetic defects such as scratches or scuffs do not affect its useful properties. This quality provides an optimal price-to-reliability ratio, ideal for storage and recreational use, where a completely new appearance is not required.
RAL 7035 color, known as light grey, is the standard industrial shade for shipping containers. Its neutral and clean tone does not visually clutter the space, blends easily with the surroundings, and also helps reflect solar radiation, thereby reducing interior overheating. A practical advantage is that dirt and dust are not as visible on light grey, making maintenance easier when placed outdoors.
EOD opening system and ventilation system
The container is equipped with an EOD (Easy Open Door) system, meaning easy opening of the heavy container doors. The two-leaf doors open to the full width of the profile and allow comfortable access to the entire interior – loading with a forklift and manual handling is hassle-free. This easy access is essential for quick and efficient use in both storage and transport.
For better air circulation, the container is fitted with 14 Air Vent openings. These vents ensure natural ventilation that prevents moisture buildup, condensation, and mold formation. When storing more sensitive items or when converting the container into a residential or recreational space, this feature is key – fresh air improves the indoor climate and extends the lifespan of stored equipment.
Use for recreational lakes
The area around Senec is known for its recreational lakes, which attract water sports enthusiasts, anglers, cottage owners, and rental operators. This container is tailor-made for this target group – it offers secure storage, easy transport, and inspiring conversion options that expand the possibilities for summer and year-round use.
Who the container is suitable for
It will be used by individuals as well as entrepreneurs. Cottage and lakeside property owners will appreciate a secure storage space for seasonal equipment. Rental operators of pedal boats, paddleboards, or sun loungers will gain a mobile warehouse that can be placed right at the beach. Anglers and sports clubs will find space for their gear and training equipment. Likewise, cultural event organizers will welcome a flexible base.
Storage options
A surprising amount of things fit comfortably inside this 20-foot container. Its 33 m³ volume can accommodate, for example:
- 4 to 6 smaller vessels, such as kayaks or rowing boats, placed upright.
- Dozens of paddleboards, inflatable loungers, and beach parasols.
- Sets of garden furniture, grills, and party tents – equipment for an entire lakeside terrace fits inside.
- Fishing rods, landing nets, tents, and coolers – store equipment for the entire fishing season.
- Spare parts, safety equipment, and cleaning supplies for beach attendants.
The container protects items from rain, dust, UV radiation, and thieves thanks to its lockable doors.
Transport options
The container is designed for intermodal transport – it can be easily moved by truck, train, or ship. Mobility is key for owners at recreational lakes. You can have it delivered directly to your property, and when you change the beach sector, you simply move the container. Delivery to the destination of Senec is included in the offer, so you don’t have to worry about logistics. All equipment can be loaded into the container before transport and delivered to the lake complete, saving time and money on moving.
Conversion options
Thanks to its solid construction and ventilation system, the container is an excellent base for creative conversions. At a recreational lake, it can be transformed into:
- A water equipment rental shop – by cutting out a larger service window and adding a counter, a stand right at the beach is created.
- Living facilities – after insulation, installation of windows and electricity, it serves as a changing room, rest area, or small cottage for overnight stays.
- Refreshment stand – with a serving window, shelves, and a refrigerator, it becomes a refreshment kiosk.
- Technical room – for pumps, water filtration for pools or ponds, tool storage.
- Sports changing room – a few benches and hooks create a simple cabin for swimmers and athletes.
- Floating bar – more daring ideas include placing the container on a pontoon and creating an unconventional place to sit on the water.
Advantages of conversion: Compared to a brick building, a container is quick to implement, mobile, and does not require a building permit (for temporary placement). Its steel frame withstands weather conditions and vandalism.
Mobility and recommendations
If you plan to use the container seasonally, you will appreciate the option of moving it to a safer warehouse or home for the winter. Always ensure a flat and reinforced surface for its placement – ideally concrete panels or a gravel sub-base, so that the doors remain functional and do not rot. For unloading on site, a crane is required to safely place the container – inquire at local equipment rental companies.
Other uses at a recreational lake: In addition to its main functions, the container is suitable as an outdoor bar at private parties, storage for fire extinguishers and safety equipment, seasonal decoration storage for balls and entertainment events by the water, or as a base for volunteer water rescuers.
Transport to Senec and Surroundings
Container transport directly to the city of Senec is included in the total price. If you require delivery to surrounding locations outside Senec (for example, to more remote lakes), an additional fee will be charged based on the distance from the center. We will prepare an exact price quote for a specific location upon request after the address is provided. It should be kept in mind that the customer must arrange a crane on site for unloading the container themselves.
Take the opportunity to use a quality storage container for your projects at recreational lakes, with convenient transport directly to the heart of Senec.
