Shipping container 20 feet one trip – from Ostrava depot, HZKU 254 409-5
Are you looking for a reliable, safe, and practically new storage or transport space that immediately adapts to your requirements? Our 20-foot shipping container in IICL 6 one trip quality, stored at the Ostrava depot, is exactly what you need. Thanks to its versatility, it serves not only for storage and transport but also opens up a wide range of conversion options – and it is an exceptionally practical helper especially for window manufacturers. Container transport is not included in the price; separate pickup from the Ostrava depot in the Czech Republic is required.
Dimensions, load capacity, and volume of the 20-foot container (6 meters)
A container with a length of 20 feet (approximately 6 meters) meets international ISO standards. Its external dimensions are 6,058 mm × 2,438 mm × 2,591 mm. Inside, it offers plenty of space: length 5,898 mm, width 2,352 mm, and height 2,390 mm. The total internal volume is approximately 33 m³, which is the volume of a small garage or workshop. The load capacity (maximum payload weight) is around 28,300 kg, and the gross weight of a loaded container can reach up to 30,480 kg. This means that even when fully loaded, it can carry material comparable to several delivery vans. Dimensions are indicative and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
IICL 6 one trip quality – an almost new container
The abbreviation IICL (Institute of International Container Lessors) designates an international standard for assessing container condition. Grade 6 represents the highest possible category for a used container. The designation “one trip” (one journey) means that the container has completed only a single sea transport with cargo – from the manufacturer to the first customer. It was then retired from the logistics chain and sold as storage stock. Structurally, it is therefore practically new, with no signs of wear, rust, or damage. The floor is solid, the walls are even, the doors seal tightly, and the locking mechanism works completely reliably. Compared to standard used containers, you gain significantly higher assurance that your property will stay dry and safe.
Color RAL 6005 – tasteful dark green
The container is painted in shade RAL 6005, known as dark green (moss green). This rich, dark shade of green looks professional and unobtrusive, allowing the container to blend easily into industrial complexes, storage zones, and residential developments. The color also has a practical purpose – a dark surface less noticeably shows common operational dirt, and thanks to high-quality paint, it retains its appearance for a long time. If you prefer a different color, contact us – at the depot we have containers of the same type and quality, but the color may vary from piece to piece.
Use for window manufacturers
The container is a versatile solution for small and medium-sized window manufacturers, craftsmen, installation companies, and larger businesses that need to flexibly expand storage capacities or set up a mobile base directly at construction sites. It will also be used by traders in window profiles, hardware, or insulating glass.
Usage options
The primary assumption is the storage of finished windows, frames, profiles, glass panes, hardware, seals, and other components. The container can also be used as a mobile workshop for window repairs, a material dispatch warehouse at construction sites, or as a transport unit for distributing products to customers. With a simple conversion, it becomes a showroom, office, or base for installation crews.
Storage options
Thanks to its robust construction and lockable doors, the container provides a secure space protected against weather conditions, moisture, and unauthorized entry. Inside, it can be equipped with shelving systems, shelves, or hanging rails for vertical storage of frames and profiles. When storing glass, we recommend using special stands and padding to prevent damage.
What can be stored for window manufacturers
You can safely store in the container:
- Finished windows and doors of various sizes,
- Aluminum, plastic, or wooden profiles,
- Insulating double and triple glazing,
- Hardware, handles, hinges, and sealing elements,
- Installation foams, sealants, adhesives, and fasteners,
- Hand tools, electric saws, drills, and other workshop equipment.
How much fits in 20 feet
The internal volume of 33 m³ and load capacity of 28 tons allow a considerable amount of goods to be accommodated. For example:
- Up to 200–250 finished windows (depending on dimensions and packaging),
- Hundreds of meters of profiles stored vertically or on pallets,
- Dozens of pallets with hardware and accessories,
- A glass load weighing up to 28 tons, corresponding to approximately 800–1,000 m² of insulating double glazing (at standard thickness).
Transport options
The container can be transported by standard flatbed truck, container chassis, or by rail. For window manufacturers, this is the ideal way to deliver a larger order to a customer or transport material between the production plant and the warehouse.
What to transport for window manufacturers
When transporting, you will use the container mainly for:
- Finished window assemblies and doors,
- Fragile glass fillings (firm fastening required),
- Modular structures and winter gardens,
- Tools and equipment for on-site installation.
Conversion options
The container can be easily modified according to specific requirements. The steel construction allows cutting openings for windows, doors, ventilation, or electrical installations. It can be insulated and equipped with lighting, heating, shelves, and workbenches.
What it can be converted into for window manufacturers
- Mobile showroom – display samples of windows, profiles, and hardware directly at the customer’s site,
- Measuring station – equip the container with measuring instruments and a consultation counter,
- Assembly workshop – place saws, milling machines, and other equipment inside for immediate repairs at the construction site,
- Tool and material warehouse – use shelving to create organized storage of everything needed,
- Worker facilities – after insulation and heating installation, it serves as a rest room or office,
- Painting booth – with extraction and filters, the container can be used for surface treatment of smaller parts (always in compliance with safety and environmental regulations).
Advantages
- Security – the massive steel construction and lockable doors protect against theft and vandalism.
- Durability – it resists rain, snow, wind, and UV radiation; the contents stay dry.
- Mobility – it can be easily relocated by truck to a new location, ideal for seasonal projects.
- Flexibility – conversion takes a minimum of time compared to building a permanent structure.

Other uses for window manufacturers
Besides its main functions, the container also serves as:
- Temporary material warehouse during renovations,
- Mobile store at exhibitions and trade fairs,
- Safe storage of documentation and samples,
- Central warehouse for service technicians.
Mobility
The container is standardly equipped with corner fittings for handling by crane or forklift. It can therefore be loaded onto a low-loader and relocated to another location within a few hours – whether it is a construction site, another complex, or a temporary location.
Recommendations and tips
- Equip the container with custom shelving – you will use every centimeter of height.
- Consider installing LED lighting and outlets for charging tools.
- For storing glass and frames, purchase special foam or rubber pads.
- If you plan a conversion into a showroom, don’t forget quality flooring and tasteful lighting to highlight products.
- An automatic alarm or GPS locator increases security when placed outside the complex.
