Our range currently includes a 20-foot shipping container in IICL 6 quality that has completed only one sea voyage and is immediately available at the container depot in Ústí nad Labem. The container is an ideal choice for storage, transport, and demanding conversions, and will serve excellently, for example, for companies focused on processing stainless steel. Transport is not included in the price; self-pickup from the mentioned Ústí nad Labem depot in the Czech Republic is required.

Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 20-Foot Container

The 20-foot container (approximately 6 meters) is one of the most common types of shipping containers in the world. Its external dimensions are standardized: length 6,058 mm, width 2,438 mm, and height 2,591 mm. The interior offers a length of approximately 5,898 mm, width of 2,352 mm, and height of 2,385 mm, providing plenty of space for diverse cargo.

The maximum total weight of the container is 30,480 kg, with the tare weight around 2,200 kg. The net load capacity thus reaches approximately 28,000 kg. The interior volume is approximately 33 m³, so it can comfortably accommodate materials, machines, or finished products of larger dimensions. Two-leaf doors on one longitudinal side allow convenient loading and unloading. Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

IICL 6 Quality and RAL 7035 Color

The IICL 6 quality is an international standard for shipping containers that marks a container after one sea voyage. This means it was manufactured, used once for transporting goods, and subsequently retired from maritime logistics. It is therefore practically new, without significant signs of wear, with functional doors, sealing, flooring, and without structural damage. Compared to brand-new units, it offers a significantly better price-to-quality ratio, while still meeting the strictest safety and durability requirements.

This container is painted in the RAL 7035 – light grey shade. This color stands out with its understated elegance, which fits both industrial complexes and modern workshops. The light grey surface additionally reflects sunlight and helps maintain the interior temperature at an acceptable level. The color is weather-resistant and easy to maintain. Upon request, we can confirm the current color shade, as we have several pieces in stock at the depot in the same quality and size – the container in the photo is illustrative but corresponds to the actual condition and parameters.

Shipping Container as a Universal Solution for Stainless Steel Processors

Processing stainless steel places high demands on space organization, material safety, and efficient logistics. Shipping containers in this industry offer surprisingly wide possibilities – from storing raw materials and finished products through transport to full-scale conversions into workshops, warehouses, or mobile operations. Let’s look at how containers can simplify the daily work of stainless steel processors.

Who the Shipping Container Is Suitable For

Containers are a practical helper for everyone who works with stainless steel – from small locksmith workshops through medium-sized manufacturers of equipment for the food, chemical, or pharmaceutical industries to large industrial processors of sheets, tubes, and profiles. They will also be used by companies engaged in surface treatments, assembly companies, or metal material traders who need flexible storage and transport capacities.

Use Options

The container can be deployed in the stainless steel industry as:

• a secure storage facility for materials and tools,
• a temporary or permanent production space,
• a mobile storage directly at the construction site or at the customer’s premises,
• a transport unit for finished products,
• a basis for conversion into a specialized workplace (e.g., welding shop, grinding shop, paint shop).

Storage Options

Storage containers protect stainless material from weather, moisture, and mechanical damage. They are lockable, resistant to break-ins, and thanks to standardized dimensions, they can be easily placed in rows and stacked. For longer storage, the container can be equipped with ventilation or interior shelving that facilitates handling of heavy coils, sheets, or bars.

What Can Be Stored for Stainless Steel Processors

You can safely store in the container:

• sheets and panels of various dimensions,
• coils and strips of stainless steel,
• bars, profiles, tubes, and square sections,
• fasteners, fittings, and flanges,
• welding equipment, grinders, tools, and jigs,
• protective equipment and chemicals for surface treatments.

Thanks to the solid steel construction, the container can withstand the weight of several tons of metal material without deformation. The interior space can also be divided by partitions for separate storage of different types of semi-finished products.

How Much Fits in a 20-Foot Container

The most commonly used 20-foot container (approximately 6 × 2.4 × 2.6 m) offers an interior volume of around 33 m³ and a load capacity of up to 28 tons. Such a space can accommodate, for example:

• approximately 20–25 tons of stainless steel sheets in standard packaging,
• several dozen steel coils depending on their width and diameter,
• an extensive supply of bars and tubes up to 6 meters long,
• complete equipment of a smaller locksmith workshop including a workbench and machines.

For larger volumes, a 40-foot container can be used or several units can be combined into an assembly.

Transport Options

The container is fundamentally designed for safe transport. Standard corner fittings allow easy handling by crane, forklift, or reach stacker. It can be transported by truck, rail, and ship. This eliminates the need for complex transshipment of goods – the entire container is loaded, transported, and unloaded as one unit.

What to Transport for Stainless Steel Processors

In transport mode, the container will serve for:

• transporting raw material from the supplier to production,
• distribution of finished products to the customer (e.g., stainless steel tanks, structures, railings),
• transporting a mobile workshop to a distant job,
• moving machines and equipment between operations.

The steel shell of the container protects the contents from impacts, rain, and dust, so even sensitive stainless surfaces arrive at their destination in undamaged condition.

Conversion Options

In addition to storage and transport, the container can be transformed into a fully-fledged workplace. Conversion includes insulation, electrical installation, lighting, chemical-resistant flooring, exhaust extraction, compressed air distribution, and other modifications according to operational needs.

What All Can Be Converted for Stainless Steel Processors

From the container, you can create:

• a mobile welding shop with extraction and protective curtains,
• a grinding and polishing shop equipped with dust collectors,
• a paint shop or space for chemical cleaning and passivation,
• a storage with controlled temperature and humidity for materials sensitive to corrosion,
• an office or changing room for workers on the construction site,
• a sales and exhibition stand with displays of stainless steel products.

Thanks to their modular nature, several containers can be connected into larger units to create a complete production line directly in the field.

Advantages

The main advantages of shipping containers for stainless steel processors lie in:

• durability – massive steel construction withstands mechanical stress and adverse weather,
• safety – lockable system and the possibility of connecting an alarm protect expensive raw materials,
• flexibility – the container can be easily relocated, expanded, or its purpose changed,
• speed of deployment – immediately after delivery, it is ready for use, without the need for building permits,
• standardization – uniform dimensions facilitate handling and transport worldwide.

Other Uses for Stainless Steel Processors

In addition to storage and workshops, the container also serves as:

• a temporary covered space for outdoor sandblasting or cutting,
• a mobile laboratory for quality control of welds and surfaces,
• a warehouse for packaging material and pallets,
• a base for service technicians during customer installations,
• a parked container as a base for collecting and sorting metal waste.

Mobility

Mobility is one of the most fundamental advantages. The container can be loaded and transported to a new location within a few hours. This will be appreciated especially by companies that work on various construction sites, or those that need to seasonally expand capacities. All it takes is a standard crane or hydraulic arm, and the container is immediately ready to function at a new address.

A shipping container represents a smart, durable, and economically advantageous solution for stainless steel processors for storage, transport, and operations. Its versatility allows it to be adapted to any needs – from a simple sheet warehouse to a fully equipped mobile production facility. Thanks to easy handling and quick deployment, it saves time, protects valuable material, and allows focusing on the most important thing: quality processing of stainless steel.
