Use of a decommissioned transport container for storage in zoos

Zoos need to store a huge amount of various equipment, tools, animal feed and maintenance materials for plants and landscaping on a daily basis. A decommissioned transport container that is no longer suitable for transport or major structural modifications is perfect in this role as a secure, durable and flexible storage unit. Its robust construction ensures long service life and protection of stored equipment from adverse weather conditions as well as from thieves.

What can be stored in the container

The possible uses of a decommissioned container in a zoo are truly wide:

• Equipment and tools: Store work tools, electric and hand tools, protective gear, trolleys and other devices needed for everyday operation.
• Maintenance materials: You can safely store paints, varnishes, cleaning agents, sandbags, technical netting or fencing in the container.
• Feed and animal care supplies: The spacious interior of the container is ideal for storing feed supplies, hay, pellets, vitamin supplements, bedding or animal care products.
• Plant care equipment: The container protects substrates, fertilizers, flowerpots, garden tools, irrigation equipment and seeds from weather and pests.
• Seasonal and operational material: Use the container to store Christmas decorations, exhibition panels, benches, parasols, tents or staff clothing.

Advantages of container storage

Using a decommissioned transport container as storage offers zoos a number of advantages:

• Security: Steel construction, robust doors and lockable options protect stored items from theft and vandalism.
• Durability: Containers are designed for extreme conditions at sea, so they withstand demanding outdoor environments as well.
• Flexibility: The container can be moved according to current needs and can be fitted with shelves, racks or other storage systems.
• Easy installation: No foundations are required, only a firm, level surface. The container is ready for use immediately.
• Environmentally friendly solution: You are giving a second life to a container that would otherwise end up being scrapped, thus contributing to sustainable operation of the zoo.

How much fits into a 20-foot container?

The most commonly used type is the so-called 20-foot (6-meter-long) container. Its internal volume is approximately 33 m³, which allows you to store for example:

• more than 15 pallets of feed,
• dozens of bags of substrate or bedding,
• a complete set of garden machinery,
• a larger stock of maintenance tools,
• or a combination of all of the above items.

With proper layout and the use of shelves, racks or hooks, the container space can be maximally utilized and kept well organized.

Possibilities and limitations of a decommissioned container

A decommissioned container is ideal for storage, but not for extensive structural modifications or conversions into offices or other uses requiring structural intervention. For the needs of a zoo, however, it is more than sufficient in its original state, possibly with minor modifications such as installation of interior lighting or ventilation.

A decommissioned transport container represents a simple, affordable and safe storage solution for everything needed to ensure the smooth operation of a zoo. Thanks to its versatility, durability and capacity, it becomes an indispensable helper for managing supplies, equipment and materials for animals and plants. All you need to do is place it in a suitable location and start using its potential efficiently.
