Shipping Container 20’ Cargo Worthy, 109 605-7

Shipping containers in the size of 6 metres (20 feet) are among the most popular and most versatile container types on the market. Thanks to their standardized size, robust construction and quality designated as “Cargo Worthy”, they are ideal not only for international transport, but also for a wide range of storage needs. Transport is not included in the price and the container must be collected separately at the depot in Venice, Italy.

Specifications and capacity of a 20-foot container

A shipping container with a length of 6 metres (20 feet) belongs among standard containers that comply with international standards. Its dimensions are designed to make maximum use of space for storage and transport. The dimensions are indicative and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

• External dimensions: length 6.058 m, width 2.438 m, height 2.591 m
• Internal dimensions: length 5.895 m, width 2.35 m, height 2.392 m
• Volume: 33.2 m³

Thanks to these properties, the container can hold a large quantity of goods or materials. It is also equipped with a valid CSC plate, which means it is ready for international transport by ship, rail or truck.

Cargo Worthy quality: safety first

Containers designated as “Cargo Worthy” meet strict criteria for strength and safety, which guarantees that the contents inside remain protected from external influences. Although the visual condition may vary (e.g. colour or minor cosmetic imperfections), their structure remains fully functional and durable. Every container undergoes a thorough inspection and is prepared for demanding conditions during both transport and storage.

Collection of the container from the depot

This container is stored at a depot in Venice, Italy. After purchase, you will receive all the necessary information for collection. Transport and offloading of the container must be arranged by the customer independently. For safety reasons, the depot unfortunately does not allow inspection of the containers prior to purchase, but you can rely on the fact that all offered units meet the same quality, type and size.

Do not hesitate and discover the benefits of this practical solution, which will help you optimise operations and simplify storage. Regardless of your needs – a shipping container is a guarantee of reliability and functionality.

Use of a shipping container for restaurants

Shipping containers today find wide application in all industries, including gastronomy. For restaurants they are becoming an ideal solution for efficiently and safely storing necessary equipment, supplies or materials. These robust and spacious units offer far more options than it might seem at first glance. Let’s take a closer look at how containers can serve restaurants in particular.

Storage for restaurant purposes

One of the most common problems restaurants face is a lack of storage space. This is where shipping containers come into play, which are ideal for storing everything necessary for restaurant operations. You can use them, for example, to store:

• Food and beverages: Dried ingredients, packaged foods or beer kegs can be stored in a dry and well‑ventilated environment.
• Kitchen equipment: From large appliances to small kitchen utensils.
• Furniture and decorations: Garden furniture, seasonal decorations or accessories for outdoor seating will easily find their place in the container.
• Maintenance materials: Paints, cleaning agents or tools needed for building maintenance can be safely stored and protected from the elements.

Advantages of using a container for restaurants

Why should a restaurant consider using a shipping container? Here are the main reasons:

• Durability and safety: Containers are made of strong steel and provide protection against adverse weather conditions, pests and unauthorised access.
• Mobility: Do you need to move your supplies or relocate your storage? Containers can be easily transported to another location.
• Versatility: Thanks to the possibility of interior customisation, containers can be fitted with shelves, racks or even cooling units.
• Fast solution: Unlike constructing a brick storage building, a container is available almost immediately and does not require complex construction preparation.
• Ecological approach: Recycling older shipping containers reduces the amount of waste and contributes to sustainable development.

What can fit into a 20-foot container?

A 20-foot container is an ideal model for small and medium-sized restaurants. Its internal capacity is approximately 33 cubic metres. What does this mean in practice? In such a container you can store, for example:

• up to 10 pallets of food or beverages,
• complete outdoor seating for 20 guests,
• seasonal decorations and equipment for the whole year,
• kitchen appliances and furniture needed for operations.

In addition, the container can be adapted to the specific needs of the restaurant – from installing shelving to special modifications for storing chilled or frozen foods.

Storage not only for restaurants but also for their customers

A shipping container does not have to serve only as a background for the operational needs of the restaurant. It can also be used to store equipment for customers. Restaurants with outdoor areas can, for example, store blankets, cushions, games for children or sports equipment in the container, which are lent to guests.

Another interesting option is to create a “mobile warehouse” for catering events. If a restaurant organises outdoor receptions or weddings, the container can be moved directly to the event site and serve as a storage facility.

Other possible uses of containers in gastronomy

The advantages of shipping containers do not end with storage. In gastronomy they can also be used as:

• Mobile kitchens: Ideal for catering or festivals. They can be equipped with professional kitchen appliances and adapted to hygiene regulations.
• Refrigerated storage: Convert the container into a cooling box and store fresh food in optimal conditions.
• Seasonal stands: Turn a container into a summer beach bar or a refreshments stall at a winter market.
• Outdoor lounge: With a bit of creativity, a container can be converted into a stylish area for guests – for example as covered seating or a bar counter.

Inspiration for modern restaurants

Shipping containers offer restaurants not only a practical storage solution, but also a way to be original and environmentally responsible. Converting an old container into a modern operational or customer space can be a great way to attract attention and stand out from the competition.

Consider how a container could enhance your business. Whether as storage space, a mobile kitchen or a stylish addition to your restaurant, its potential is almost unlimited. Shipping containers are not only about functionality, but also about creativity and innovation.
