A retired 20-foot (6-meter) shipping container in AS IS 2 quality represents a reliable and affordable option for storing a wide range of goods.

Basic information about the 20-foot container

A retired container from transport with a length of 20 feet (approx. 6 meters) in AS IS 2 quality represents a robust, versatile, and affordable storage solution. The standard dimensions of this type of container are approximately 6.06 m in length, 2.44 m in width, and 2.59 m in height. The load capacity is around 28 tons, and the internal volume is approximately 33 m³. Thanks to its solid steel construction, the container is very resistant to weather conditions and mechanical stress. The dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

Retired shipping container as an ideal warehouse for aquarium shops

Retired 20-foot (6-meter) shipping containers that are no longer used for international transport are finding new uses in many industries. Aquarium shops are among those that can significantly benefit from their robustness and spatial variability. These containers provide a safe, dry, and clear background for storing a wide range of goods and equipment needed in aquaristics.

What can be stored in the container

Containers are ideal for storing:

• Aquarium equipment (filters, heaters, lighting)
• Food and supplements for fish and other animals
• Aquariums of various sizes and shapes, including glass tanks
• Decorative elements, substrates, stones, and roots
• Water treatment chemicals, tests, and medicines
• Maintenance tools (nets, hoses, pumps)
• Packaging materials and transport boxes
• Goods intended directly for sale to customers

Thanks to its construction, the container offers space where individual categories of goods can be separated, or shelving systems can be created for easy orientation and quick access.

Advantages of using a retired container

• Protection against weather conditions: Containers are designed for transport by sea, and therefore are highly resistant to humidity, rain, and frost. The goods inside are protected from adverse weather and dust.
• Safety: The metal construction and lockable doors ensure protection against unauthorized entry and theft.
• Flexibility of location: The container can be placed almost anywhere – in a parking lot, in the back of the store premises, or directly next to the business. If necessary, it can also be moved to another location.
• Long service life: Even a retired container that has been carefully refurbished offers high durability and low maintenance requirements.
• Low operating costs: There is no need to build an expensive storage hall or add a building. The container is immediately ready for use.

Storage of equipment and goods for customers

A retired container can be used not only to store supplies but also as a space for preparing goods for customers, or as a “backup warehouse” during periods of increased demand. Aquarium shops often need to have a larger volume of substrates, sand, decorations, or feed available – the container offers such capacity without the need to expand the brick-and-mortar store.

For greater clarity, shelves can be installed in the container, the space can be divided into zones, or mobile trolleys can be used. Storage in the container is clear and efficient, which speeds up not only inventory but also daily work.

Maintenance of the premises and work equipment

Another advantage is the possibility to store equipment intended for the maintenance of the premises or area in the container. You can have garden tools, cleaning products, work clothes, tools, or seasonal decorations here. Everything is safely stored in one place and always at hand.

How much fits into a 20-foot container

A standard 20-foot container offers an internal length of approximately 5.9 m, a width of 2.35 m, and a height of 2.39 m, which means a volume of over 33 m³. For a better idea – you can store, for example, in this space:

• Hundreds of bags of substrate or sand (depending on the packaging)
• Dozens of aquariums of various sizes (when stacked correctly)
• Shelves for dozens of boxes with goods or equipment
• Pallets with feed and chemicals
• Tools, aids, and large items for maintenance

Thanks to this capacity, the container becomes an ideal solution not only for seasonal storage but also as a long-term background.

A retired shipping container represents an efficient, safe, and affordable storage solution for aquarium shops. It offers a large volume, easy handling, and protection of goods and equipment from external influences. Thanks to the possibility of various modifications, it becomes a universal helper for daily operation and business development.
