Shipping container 20ft Open Side IICL6, 250 699-1

Are you looking for a reliable storage or shipping container that offers not only standard quality but also maximum loading flexibility? We present you the 20ft shipping container Open Side located in the depot in Koper, Slovenia. This model stands out with the entire side wall opening sideways, making it an ideal choice for goods that are difficult to load only through the front doors. The container is in IICL 6 quality and its blue RAL 5010 colour gives it a professional appearance. Transport of the container is not included in the price; independent collection at the mentioned Koper depot in Slovenia is required.

The standard 20ft container, also referred to as a 6-metre container, has the following external and internal parameters (approximate values, which may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer):

The dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

IICL 6 quality – what it means and why it matters

The IICL designation refers to the standards of the International Institute of Container Lessors, the international authority for the inspection and classification of used containers. IICL 6 quality guarantees that the container has undergone a detailed technical inspection and meets high requirements for structure, watertightness, and functionality. This means:

• solid and undamaged steel construction,
• completely watertight roof and walls – no leaks,
• all doors (front and side) functional with sealing,
• intact and load-bearing plywood floor without rotten spots,
• at most minor cosmetic defects, such as paint scratches, light corrosion marks, or differences in colour shade, which never affect safety or usability.

Thanks to this, the container is suitable not only for static storage but also for sea and road transport. In other words – you are buying a container that is technically like new and ready to immediately fulfil its role, whether you place it in your garden, on the company premises, or take it on the road.

Colour RAL 5010 – elegant blue with durability

The container is painted in the shade RAL 5010, known as gentian blue. This rich, dark blue colour is not only aesthetically pleasing – it is one of the standard industrial shades used for shipping containers and is exceptionally resistant to weather conditions, UV radiation, and mechanical damage. The blue tone of RAL 5010 gives the container a modern and professional appearance that easily fits into a corporate environment as well as into the surrounding landscape on a private plot.

Please keep in mind that the colour of the container may vary depending on the current stock situation. Multiple pieces in the same category are stored in the depot, so we will be happy to specify the exact shade on request – just ask.

Open Side specification – side access that changes the rules

While a standard shipping container has only front double-wing doors, this Open Side model adds an openable side wall along the entire length. The side panels are unlocked and slid aside, giving you full access to the interior from the side. You will especially appreciate this when:

• handling bulky or unwieldy goods (e.g. long profiles, pipes, furniture),
• loading using a forklift from the side – you don’t have to push everything through narrow front doors,
• quick unloading and transhipment of material, when you want to save time and effort.

The Open Side container thus becomes a versatile solution for warehouses, workshops, construction sites, and mobile operations. Its construction remains fully solid and safe – the side opening is secured with robust locks after closing, and the container retains all its certified properties.

Collection at Koper depot, Slovenia

The container is physically located at the container terminal in Koper, one of the key ports of the northern Adriatic.

Transport of the container from the depot to the destination is not included in the price and must be arranged by the customer independently. After closing the deal, you will receive complete documentation for collection from us – typically the reservation number, depot address, contact details, and terminal operating hours. Pass this information to your chosen carrier (preferably a local carrier authorised to transport containers). The carrier will arrive at the depot, collect the container, and transport it to the destination you specify. Likewise, unloading of the container at the destination is fully the responsibility of the customer – we recommend arranging handling with the carrier as well (e.g. using a hydraulic arm, crane, or tipping trailer).

Given that multiple containers of the same category are stored in the depot, you will generally receive a different piece than shown in the illustrative photos. However, this does not mean any reduction in quality – we always guarantee the same type (20ft, Open Side), the same quality (IICL 6), and the same dimensions and load capacity. The colour may vary, so the current RAL 5010 shade is available on request. Please note that inspection of the container directly at the depot is not possible. For safety reasons and the operating rules of the terminal, the public is not allowed to enter the storage areas.

The 20ft container Open Side in IICL 6 quality and RAL 5010 shade is an excellent choice for anyone who needs not only reliable storage space but also easy handling from the side. Its location in Koper guarantees fast and accessible logistics for Central European customers. If you are looking for a functional, sturdy, and flexible container with a professional appearance, do not hesitate to contact us and arrange the details.
