Construction Unit 6m – 20’HC as a Gatehouse Including Toilet
We offer a quality 20-foot (6 meter) construction unit converted into a fully functional gatehouse including its own toilet. The unit is in Cargo Worthy quality – meaning a proven, fully functional condition corresponding to active use, with normal signs of wear, but without serious damage or leaks. The actual condition is documented in current photographs, so you can see exactly what you are buying. This is a complete solution that immediately provides not only a safe and dry base for staff, but also hygienic comfort right at the site. Container transport is available throughout the Czech Republic, with the price calculated according to the location.
Technical parameters of the 20-foot construction unit
The standard external dimensions of a 20-foot shipping container are approximately 6,058 mm in length, 2,438 mm in width, and 2,591 mm in height. The internal usable space offers a length of around 5,900 mm, a width of 2,350 mm, and a height of approximately 2,390 mm. The total enclosed volume is approximately 33 m³. The load capacity (payload) for an unmodified container of this size is typically up to 28 tons, however, after the installation of facilities and the toilet, the practical load depends on the specific equipment and floor construction. The robust steel frame guarantees a long service life and resistance to weather conditions.
Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
What is a construction unit as a gatehouse including a toilet
This 20-foot shipping container has undergone a complete conversion into a fully functional construction unit that serves as a gatehouse – and additionally features its own toilet. It is not just an empty metal box, but a thoughtfully designed mobile object where you will find a working base and hygienic comfort in a single unit. The container itself, measuring approximately 6 × 2.4 × 2.6 meters, provides enough space to be divided into an office or guard room and a separate toilet cabin. Thanks to its steel construction, it is extremely resistant to weather conditions, vandalism, and mechanical damage, while it can be transported and put into operation within a few hours wherever immediate facilities are needed.
What it is suitable for
The main purpose is to provide an immediate and self-sufficient workplace for security guards, reception, or supervision at construction sites, industrial areas, parking lots, or during short-term events. Within a single unit, you get a space for work, rest, and toilet use, without having to build brick or prefabricated units. It is suitable anywhere permanent facilities are lacking and you need to quickly set up a security checkpoint with minimal requirements for construction readiness. In addition to its gatehouse function, the container can also be used as a mobile office, a base for technical supervision, a tool storage with changing facilities, or even as a small sales stand.
Who it is suitable for
This type of container unit will be appreciated primarily by construction companies that need to quickly set up a gatehouse with hygienic facilities for security guards on every new contract. It is also suitable for managers of industrial areas, warehouse halls, logistics centers, or production plants, where it is necessary to control entry and exit. It is also a great benefit for organizers of festivals, sporting events, markets, or temporary parking lots – simply replacing the missing infrastructure. Municipalities and cities can also use it for temporary construction supervision or as a base for maintenance workers in remote locations.
Where it can be placed
Thanks to its robust construction and independence from solid foundations, the unit can be placed practically anywhere – on a paved surface, gravel base, panel substrate, or even on prepared terrain. It is not bothered by demanding outdoor conditions, whether it is a dusty construction site, a snowy mountain location, or a hot parking lot. The container is easily transported by crane or truck and once positioned, it is sufficient to connect electricity, water, and waste, if the toilet is connected to a sewer or septic tank. Alternatively, it can be equipped with a chemical toilet or a closed system, allowing operation even without permanent utility networks.
What “including toilet” means
Part of the modification is a separate, lockable room with a toilet bowl, washbasin, and often a shower stall. The toilet can be connected to a standard water supply and sewer, or it can be designed as a holding tank with the option of regular emptying – it depends on the specific design. The equipment also includes a water heater for hot water, ventilation, and easy-to-maintain surfaces. This hygienic facility eliminates the need to walk to distant mobile toilets, increases staff comfort, and allows personnel to spend the entire shift in the unit without loss of privacy and dignity. A security guard can thus calmly refresh themselves, wash up, and use the toilet, which contributes to better concentration and satisfaction.
Use as a gatehouse
The primary deployment is the operation of a classic gatehouse at the entrance to a site, construction site, or checkpoint. The container is arranged so that the operator has an unobstructed view of the access road through large glazed windows, ideally supplemented with a sliding window for communication with drivers. Inside, there is a work desk, document shelves, storage spaces, heating or air conditioning, and of course the toilet facility. Security guards thus have all the comfort needed for an all-day shift – from a place to sit, through the option of warming up food, to personal hygiene. The gatehouse can be equipped with a camera system, data connection, and electronic control of barriers, making it a full-fledged security center. This eliminates the need to build brick structures, while gaining a professional, lockable, and immediately usable solution that can be easily transported and deployed elsewhere after the event.
Other possible uses
Thanks to its thoughtful layout, the container is much more than just a gatehouse. Here are some other creative and practical applications:
- Mobile office for site managers, geologists, designers – a full-fledged workplace with electricity, internet, and sanitary facilities.
- Facilities for drivers and dispatch in logistics areas – a place to rest, fill out documentation, and refresh.
- Temporary shop or issuing window – modification into a sales counter at the entrance to a market, swimming pool, or sports facility.
- Changing room and rest area for technical workers on remote sections of highways, railways, or in tunnels.
- First aid and treatment room at mass events – equipped with a bed and washbasin.
- Small laboratory or measuring station for environmental monitoring.
The possibilities depend on the specific equipment, but the foundation consisting of a solid container, insulation, heating, electrical installation, and sanitary facilities gives freedom to almost any idea. Therefore, these units often find use as extensions of existing operations, when a company needs to quickly add an office or day room, without investing in a permanent building.
Why choose this 20-foot container
The choice of a modified container brings several key advantages. First of all, it is the speed – from order to installation, a minimum of time passes, no building permit is required (in many cases) and wet processes are eliminated. The durability of the steel construction guarantees a long service life and security against burglary. The unit is compact, yet spacious inside, and can be easily modified according to the current needs of the project. The private toilet significantly increases the utility value and allows deployment even where all infrastructure is missing, especially when using a chemical toilet or holding tank. Last but not least, it is an economically advantageous solution – instead of building, renting several separate units and mobile toilets, you get everything integrated in a single mobile unit that retains its value in the long term. Whether you are looking for a gatehouse for a construction site, a security checkpoint for an industrial park, or multifunctional facilities for events, this 20-foot container with a toilet will meet even the most demanding requirements – and will remain ready for immediate relocation, wherever needed.
Transport throughout the Czech Republic with an individual price
The price includes loading the container at our depot, but the actual transport throughout the Czech Republic is not included in the price and is calculated individually according to the place of delivery. Upon request, we can also arrange transport outside the Czech Republic. For unloading, it is necessary to use a hydraulic arm or a truck crane with the appropriate load capacity – this equipment is arranged by the customer themselves. Before ordering, we recommend verifying the accessibility and space for unloading the container at the destination. Thanks to standard dimensions, the container fits on common transport frames and handling is fast and safe.
This solution will be appreciated primarily by site operators, construction companies, facility managers, carriers, organizers of cultural and sporting events, and landowners who need an immediate and flexible checkpoint for security guards or staff. The advantage is that the unit can be moved to another location after the project is completed, thus maximizing the investment made. Do not hesitate and order your construction unit including a toilet for your gatehouse, or for other uses!
