Shipping container 20 ft standard IICL, 255 844-2
Are you looking for a durable, proven container for shipping, storage, or construction projects? This twenty-foot shipping container in IICL 6 quality meets even the strictest requirements. Its standard dimensions, high load capacity, and precise workmanship make it an ideal choice for repeated use in international logistics as well as on land. It is located in a depot in Leixões, Portugal, and is waiting for its new owner to pick it up – transport is not included in the price.
Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 20 ft Container
The standard twenty-foot container has precisely defined dimensions that comply with international ISO standards. The external length is 6,058 mm (20 ft), width 2,438 mm (8 ft), and height 2,591 mm (8 ft 6 inches). The internal space offers a length of approximately 5,898 mm, width 2,352 mm, and height 2,385 mm. The total interior volume reaches approximately 33.2 m³, providing ample space for pallets, machinery, materials, or equipment. The maximum gross weight of the container including cargo is 30,480 kg. The weight of the empty container (tare) is around 2,200 kg, so the useful load capacity is approximately 28,280 kg. These parameters make it a versatile workhorse for transporting heavy commodities as well as for construction use, where bulky equipment needs to be stored safely. The floor made of impregnated marine plywood with a thickness of 28 mm can withstand high point loads and is resistant to moisture and chemicals. Dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
IICL 6 Quality
The IICL 6 designation is synonymous with top-notch container condition. This classification is based on the strict standards of the Institute of International Container Lessors (IICL) and guarantees that the container has undergone a detailed technical inspection. It is a container with a solid structure, intact walls, floor, and roof, and with no leaks. All welds and joints have been checked, the door mechanisms operate smoothly, and the locking system is reliable. The container is ideal both for fleet owners who demand a flawless appearance and for storage, construction cabins, mobile offices, or demanding transport cycles.
Color RAL 6007
This container is painted in the RAL 6007 shade, known as bottle green, dark olive, or military green. It is a rich, matte green color that naturally blends with vegetation and looks inconspicuous in industrial premises as well as on outdoor plots. The coating not only protects the steel shell against corrosion but also gives the container aesthetic value – RAL 6007 is resistant to weather conditions, UV radiation, and mechanical abrasion. Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that a container stored in a depot may not always be exactly this color. Given that we have a larger number of units in the depot and their availability changes daily, you will generally receive a different unit than the one you see in the illustrative images. The color may therefore differ, but always remains in the same quality and type category. Before completing the purchase, we therefore recommend inquiring about the current color version – our specialists will be happy to tell you what color the container that is reserved for you has. All information is provided exclusively on request.
3locking System
Safety and easy operation are ensured by the 3locking system. This is a three-point door locking mechanism, where each door leaf has three locking rods that slide into the upper and lower frame and into the central partition. This mechanism guarantees a firm door closure, excellent tightness against moisture and dust, and at the same time makes unauthorized entry more difficult. During handling, simply turn the levers, the rods slide into their grooves, and the doors close hermetically. Even after years of use, the system remains reliable and durable because it is made of solid steel and regularly lubricated. Combined with quality sealing and an all-steel construction, the container forms a secure vault for your cargo, whether you transport it by sea or store it in the garden.
Picking Up the Container from the Leixões Depot, Portugal
The container is physically stored in the container terminal in Leixões, a busy port in the north of Portugal. Leixões is a modern logistics hub with excellent connections to road, rail, and sea transport. Thanks to this, the container can be easily transported from here to any destination in Europe.
The price does not include transport – the container price only includes the unit itself in the depot. You must arrange transport yourself, ideally through a local carrier. Likewise, you are responsible for arranging unloading at the destination. After the transaction is completed, we will send you all the documents for pickup – container identification details, depot number, and instructions for handing over to the carrier. The carrier will pick up the container from the depot with these documents and deliver it to the address you specify.
The container you receive will generally differ from the unit shown in the illustrative images. We store multiple containers of the same category in the depot, so the color, minor details, or age may slightly differ. However, we always adhere to the specification: IICL 6 quality, 20 ft dimensions, 3locking system. The current color of a specific unit can only be ascertained by inquiry; for capacity reasons, we do not track color variability in real time on the web. All containers are checked before dispatch to ensure they meet the declared quality. For security reasons, customer access to the depot for inspection is not permitted; the terminal is strictly guarded and only registered carriers are allowed entry.
This twenty-foot shipping container in IICL 6 quality, with RAL 6007 paint and three-point locking, is a reliable partner for demanding transport as well as long-term storage. It is ready for pickup at the Leixões depot, and you decide how and where it goes next. Before ordering, please always inquire about the current color and availability. If you are looking for a robust, proven unit for your business or a private project, do not hesitate to contact us to clarify the details.
