Dimensions, load capacity and volume of a 20‑foot container

The standard 20‑foot container has dimensions approximately:

• Length: 6.06 m
• Width: 2.44 m
• Height: 2.59 m

Internal volume is around 33 m³, providing ample space for storing large and bulky items.

Maximum load capacity of these containers is up to 28 000 kg, although when used for storage it is mainly limited by what you need to store. Dimensions are indicative and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

Use of a decommissioned transport container for storage in horse stables

A decommissioned transport container that is no longer suitable for structural conversions or modifications is an ideal choice for efficient and safe storage in a stable.

The containers are made of robust steel, which ensures high resistance to weather, moisture and pests. This protects all equipment from rain, frost and unwanted visitors.

The container can be easily placed directly in the stable area, or at the edge of the property, where it does not take up excessive space.

A major advantage is also flexibility – the container can be relocated as needed, or its interior layout adjusted. Unlike traditional brick warehouses, no building permit is required, significantly saving time and costs.

What can be stored in the container

• Stable material – bales of hay, straw, wood shavings, bedding, feed for horses and other livestock.
• Equine equipment – saddles, bridles, blankets, halters, protectors, brushes and other horse‑related items.
• Tools and equipment – pitchforks, shovels, wheelbarrows, rakes, buckets, tools for stable and pasture maintenance.
• Maintenance supplies – cleaning agents, disinfectants, paints, protective gear, work clothing.
• Items for staff – work clothes, rubber boots, protective equipment, small personal items, possibly lockable lockers.

The interior can be divided with shelves, hooks, racks or boxes according to specific needs. Everything remains organized and readily accessible.

Storage of materials and equipment

The container’s size and construction make it suitable for storing even bulkier items. You can easily place bales of hay, larger feed supplies, bags of bedding, as well as wheelbarrows, water barrels or larger tools. If it is necessary to store more sensitive equipment (e.g., leather saddles), basic ventilation or a dehumidifier can be installed in the container to keep the interior in optimal condition.

Layout options and capacity of a 20‑foot container

A standard 20‑foot container offers an interior space of approximately 33 m³ (about 5.9 × 2.35 × 2.39 m). This means you can comfortably store, for example:

• up to 10 large hay bales (depending on packaging),
• several bags of pellets and feed,
• complete equipment for 2–4 horses (saddles, blankets, bridles, maintenance supplies),
• work tools and machinery for the stable and pastures.

With appropriate internal subdivision (racks, boxes, hangers) the capacity can be further increased, maximizing every centimeter. Thanks to standardized dimensions, equipment and material can be stacked in several layers or separate sections.

Security and asset protection

The container is lockable and provides much higher security than, for example, an open shed or freely accessible stable room. It protects equipment from theft, animals and weather extremes. The steel construction ensures long service life and minimal maintenance requirements.

A decommissioned transport container is an ideal solution for horse‑stable owners seeking a safe, flexible and easily accessible storage space. It is suitable for storing everything needed – from feed and equipment to tools and staff personal items. The container can be placed wherever it is most needed, and thanks to its robustness and lockability you can be sure your assets remain safe and dry all year round.
