Are you looking for a reliable, practically new 20-foot shipping container that you can pick up directly from the Swiss depot in Basel? This piece in First Trip quality with IICL 6 certification, equipped with the Easy Open Door (EOD) system with three locking bars and 10 ventilation grilles, represents the top of the market for transport containers. Its dark green shade RAL 6007 also gives it a discreet yet elegant appearance, suitable for industrial sites, residential zones, or gardens. Container transport is not included in the price; independent pick-up from the Basel, Switzerland depot is required.

Dimensions, load capacity, and volume of the 20-foot container

This container of type 20GP (General Purpose) meets all international ISO standards. Its external dimensions are:

• Length: 6,058 mm (approximately 6 meters)
• Width: 2,438 mm
• Height: 2,591 mm

The internal space is only slightly smaller, namely:

• Length: 5,898 mm
• Width: 2,352 mm
• Height: 2,393 mm

The total internal volume reaches approximately 33.2 m³. The maximum gross weight of the container (MGW) is 30,480 kg, while the tare weight is around 2,200 kg. The net load capacity, or payload, is therefore approximately 28,280 kg. That is enough capacity for transporting heavy material, machinery, furniture, building materials, or anything else that requires secure storage. The dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

First Trip quality and IICL 6 certification

The First Trip designation means that the container has made a single journey – typically from the manufacturing plant to Europe, where it was loaded and then immediately retired from service. It is therefore not worn by years of operation and has not undergone repairs or repainting. The IICL 6 certification confirms that the unit meets the highest standards of the Institute of International Container Lessors and is therefore also suitable for maritime transport and storage of sensitive goods. The condition of the floor, walls, roof, and doors is practically flawless, with no signs of corrosion or dents. You will thus receive a container whose service life significantly exceeds that of used “second-hand” pieces.

Color RAL 6007 – Bottle green

The chosen shade RAL 6007, known as bottle green (Flaschegrün), is a dark, richly green tone that carries a hint of forest depth and industrial calm. On the exterior, it looks natural and unobtrusive – it blends easily with garden greenery, surrounding buildings, or the edge of a warehouse area. It does not reflect light as strongly as lighter colors, so you will appreciate it in places where you do not want to draw too much attention to the container. Inside, after conversion into a study or workshop, this dark green provides a pleasant, focused environment. The color also underlines the premium character of the First Trip container – it is a factory paint applied to new, undamaged sheet metal, and thus withstands weather influences and mechanical stress.

Easy Open Door (EOD) system – 3 Locking Bars

A great advantage of this model is the door design with three locking bars – Easy Open Door. While standard containers usually have four locking bars on the doors, here there are three, which makes daily handling easier – the doors open easily, smoothly, and without excessive physical effort. You will appreciate this not only during frequent loading and unloading but also in situations where one person is working with the container.

Use of the 20GP First Trip 3 locking bars EOD container

The possibilities of use are wide. In addition to traditional storage of tools, garden equipment, seasonal gear, or building material, the container is also suitable as:

• a mobile workshop or service base,
• a secured warehouse for companies and tradespeople,
• a construction cabin on the plot during reconstruction,
• a basis for conversion into a living space, office, or studio,
• a base for organizing markets, festivals, or sports events,
• archiving of documents and sensitive data.

Thanks to its first-class condition and EOD mechanism, the container is also suitable for repeated moves and handling with a forklift or crane.
