Dimensions, load capacity, and volume of the 20-foot container

A standard 20-foot container offers external dimensions of approximately 6.058 m in length, 2.438 m in width, and 2.591 m in height. The interior space is about 5.898 m long, 2.352 m wide, and 2.393 m high, providing a total volume of approximately 33.2 m³. The gross load capacity reaches up to 30,480 kg, while the net payload is around 28,180 kg after deducting the container’s own weight (approx. 2,300 kg). These parameters allow the safe storage of heavy raw materials such as clay or a ceramic kiln, while also providing plenty of space for shelving systems or larger products.

IICL 6 quality and RAL 7015 colour

IICL 6 quality means that the container has passed a strict international inspection and meets the highest standards for maritime transport. It is practically as new – after one trip – with no signs of corrosion, damage, or wear. The walls, floor, and roof are in perfect condition, the doors seal perfectly, and the entire structure is fully functional. This certification guarantees a long service life and minimal maintenance requirements, so the container will reliably protect your property for many years.

RAL 7015 colour, known as slate grey, is a sophisticated shade of dark grey with a subtle bluish tint. It looks modern and understated, so the container will blend discreetly into any environment – from industrial sites to private gardens. The surface is coated with a highly durable anti-corrosion paint that protects the steel from moisture, UV radiation, and mechanical damage. The neutral tone also makes it easy to repaint or modify to your liking, which you will appreciate especially when planning conversions.

Standard opening and ventilation

The container is equipped with a standard door opening mechanism with 4 locking bars – two on each door leaf – that allow opening up to 270 degrees. This robust system is easy to operate and ensures a secure closure against theft and weather. It also includes 14 ventilation openings that ensure natural air circulation and prevent moisture condensation. This is key for storing materials sensitive to mould, such as ceramic clay, glazes, or finished products, as it keeps the interior environment dry and stable.

Use in pottery

The new 20’GP shipping container after one trip is literally made for the needs of potters and ceramic workshops. Its durable construction, mobility, and variability open up a wide range of applications from storage and transport to conversion into fully functional workspaces.

Who it is suitable for

This container is ideal for small entrepreneurs, art studios, ceramic schools, and larger manufacturers who need to expand their capacity without construction work. It will appeal to anyone looking for a safe storage facility for raw materials and products, a mobile workshop for hands-on classes, or a representative showroom for direct sales. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it fits even on smaller plots, while providing plenty of space for everyday work.

Storage options

In pottery, it is essential to store a wide range of materials: bags of clay, buckets of glazes, moulds, tools, raw materials for engobes, and finished ceramics. The container offers a dry, ventilated, and safe environment that protects these items from moisture, dust, and mechanical damage. The wooden floor is sturdy, easy to clean, and can withstand heavy loads. With a volume of 33 m³, you can efficiently store, for example:

• Up to several hundred kilograms of clay in stored bags (using shelves for approximately 10–15 euro pallets).
• Dozens of buckets of glazes and colour pigments.
• Hundreds of pieces of ceramics – from small cups to large vases. With standard packaging, approximately 2,000 flower pots with a diameter of 20 cm will fit in the container.
• Plaster moulds and casting equipment on shelf systems.

Thanks to the 14 ventilation openings, moisture does not accumulate, so even freshly processed clay will remain in optimal condition without the risk of mould.

Transport options

The container is certified for road and maritime transport, making it a universal logistics tool. In pottery, you can use it for the safe transport of fragile products to markets, exhibitions, or directly to customers. It is enough to firmly place the ceramics in crates lined with foam or bubble wrap and secure them with lashing straps to the walls. The robust construction protects the cargo from shocks and weather conditions, so even delicate sculptures or glazed sets will arrive at their destination undamaged. You can transport everything – from raw clay to finished products – and flexibly respond to seasonal demand.

Conversion options

Thanks to IICL 6 quality and its clean condition, this container is perfect for creative conversions. In pottery, countless possibilities open up:

• Mobile ceramic workshop: Equip the interior with work tables with a sink, potter’s wheels, shelves for clay and tools, and electrical wiring. Built-in ventilation will ensure a comfortable working environment even when shaping wet clay. You can take such a workshop to farmers’ markets, festivals, or summer camps and offer ceramics classes right on site.
• Showroom and shop: Glazing one wall and installing lighting will create an elegant gallery space for selling your work. The container can be placed in tourist-attractive locations and attract customers in an original way.
• Facilities for a firing kiln: With professional modifications (chimney, thermal insulation, electrical wiring), you can transform the container into a safe room for a ceramic kiln. This will separate the noisy and hot operations from the main workshop and increase fire safety.
• Teaching studio: Install folding benches, storage boxes, and a sink to create a mobile classroom. You can tour villages, schools, and corporate events and spread the joy of clay.
• Combined studio: Divide the space into a storage zone on one side and a work corner with a wheel on the other – all in one compact unit that saves space.
• Relaxation zone with ceramic elements: After modifying the windows and doors, the container can serve as a cosy tea room or meditation space decorated with your own ceramics – ideal for workshops or personal needs.

Advantages for pottery

• Safety and durability: The all-metal welded construction resists theft, vandalism, and extreme weather. Locked doors with a bar mechanism protect valuable raw materials and finished products.
• Mobility: The container can be moved at any time using a crane onto a flatbed truck and taken to a new location. You will appreciate this when relocating your workshop, expanding production, or participating in seasonal markets – you do not need to build a permanent facility.
• Quick installation: Unlike brick construction, the container is ready for use immediately. It is enough to place it on a hardened base (concrete panels, gravel) and connect it to electricity if you are planning a conversion. You will save time and costs on building permits – in most cases, it is a temporary structure without the need for complicated approval.
• Flexibility: It can be easily modified – adding windows, doors, shelves, ventilation systems, or external canopies. If your needs change, simply sell or move the container.
• Economy: Compared to building traditional premises, purchasing a container is significantly cheaper. IICL 6 quality also means minimal repair costs and a long service life.

Other uses and ideas

Beyond traditional pottery, the container can serve as a mobile shop at farmers’ markets, where you can offer your ceramics along with flowers and herbs. It can also be used as temporary storage during the renovation of an existing workshop or as a base for ceramic symposiums and artistic residencies. If you collaborate with a garden centre, you can store large ceramic flower pots, substrates, and decorations in it. For larger projects, multiple containers can be combined into a modular complex to create a spacious studio or warehouse. An interesting idea is also a “pop-up ceramic café”, where visitors admire and buy products directly in the converted container.

Recommendations for maximum use

When planning storage, we recommend using the vertical space – robust shelving systems will allow you to store more material. For transporting fragile ceramics, invest in quality fixing means: lashing straps, padding made of recycled paper, and wooden partitions. If you are converting the container into a workshop, do not forget sufficient lighting (LED panels) and dust control measures, such as extraction at the potter’s wheel. The floor can be treated with an epoxy coating for easier maintenance in wet operations.
