Shipping container 40’HC in blue color, 292 825-8

Imagine an elegant, safe, and immensely practical storage space that within a few hours can be transformed into a feature of a distinguished castle estate. This is exactly the opportunity offered by a decommissioned 40-foot High Cube shipping container in IICL quality and the attractive RAL 5010 color. And the best part? Its shipping is completely free to Nový Jičín and anywhere else in the Czech Republic.

Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 40-Foot HC Container

The 40-foot High Cube container differs from the classic “dry” container in height, which makes a huge difference in practical use. While a standard container has a height of 2,591 mm, the High Cube version offers a full 2,896 mm, which is 30 cm more. You will appreciate this when handling taller items or when installing shelving systems.

The width remains the standard 2,438 mm and the length 12,192 mm (40 feet). The interior dimensions are only slightly smaller – length 12,032 mm, width 2,352 mm, and height 2,698 mm. The total interior volume reaches approximately 76.3 m³, which is a space that can hold the contents of several garages or a larger warehouse. The container’s load capacity is an impressive 28,620 kg, while the empty container’s own weight is around 3,900 kg. The maximum gross weight of a loaded container is 32,500 kg. This means you can confidently load heavy equipment, archival materials, seasonal inventory, or even smaller construction machinery. The dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

IICL Used Quality – Guarantee of Reliability

When choosing a decommissioned container, quality is essential. The IICL designation (Institute of International Container Lessors) is an internationally recognized standard used by the world’s largest leasing companies. The container has undergone strict inspection and meets exact criteria for further use in maritime transport – this means it is structurally completely sound, without holes or deformations, with fully functional doors, sealing, and floor. It is not a retired piece with an ended service life, but a container that is still capable of fulfilling demanding transport tasks. For you, this means certainty that the container is absolutely watertight, resistant to wind and dust, and that its construction will last for many years without the need for repairs. IICL quality is synonymous with a safe and reliable storage.

Color RAL 5010 – Tasteful Blue with a Touch of Grace

The color of the container is not only an aesthetic element but also a practical decision. RAL 5010, known as Gentian blue, is a deep, rich shade of blue that looks elegant and unobtrusive. In a castle environment, where emphasis is placed on harmony and a classic appearance, this container will become a discreet yet tasteful addition. It does not look industrial or garish; on the contrary, it can naturally blend in among historic walls, parks, or operational facilities. The color is of high quality, baked, and resistant to weather conditions, so the container will look good for many seasons without the need for overpainting

Shipping Container as Storage for Castle Estates

When you say castle, you imagine historic halls, guided tours, and well-maintained gardens. Few realize how much background such an operation requires. This is where the 40-foot High Cube container comes into play – as the perfect storage solution that does not require a building permit, does not interfere with heritage-protected buildings, and yet offers enormous volume.

Benefits of Storing in a Container at a Castle

• Immediate usability – the container delivered directly to the site is ready for use practically immediately after unloading.
• Weather independence – thanks to the watertight construction and quality sealing, the contents are protected from rain, snow, moisture, and dust.
• Safety – massive steel doors with a locking mechanism and the option to install an additional lock provide a high level of protection against unauthorized entry.
• Mobility – the container can be moved elsewhere at any time if the estate’s needs change.
• Low permit requirements – unlike a masonry building, you usually do not need a building permit, which is essential in heritage zones.

What All Can Be Stored in the Container

A space with a volume of 76 m³ and a load capacity of over 28 tons can hold a truly diverse range of items. In a castle environment, this mainly includes:

• Seasonal equipment – garden furniture, sunshades, flower pots, decorations for festivals and markets.
• Historic furnishings – furniture that is not currently on display, spare parts, replicas, textiles.
• Archival materials – documents, books, maps, plans, if they do not require a climate-controlled environment. The container can be additionally equipped with ventilation or insulation.
• Maintenance equipment – tools, workshop machines, mowers, repair materials, building materials.
• Café or restaurant supplies – beverages, non-perishable food, packaging materials, inventory.
• Technical facilities for cultural events – sound systems, lighting, stage, booths, costumes.

How Much Fits – Practical Examples

In one 40-foot High Cube container, you can load:

• approximately 120–150 standard chairs and 30 tables,
• the complete inventory of a smaller castle café including a coffee machine and refrigerated display case,
• all gardening tools and machines for maintaining an extensive park,
• hundreds of archive boxes in A4 format,
• or several restored pieces of furniture and sculptures waiting to be installed.

Thanks to the height of 2.7 m, taller items that would not fit in a standard container can be stored without difficulty.

Who Benefits from Such a Solution

• Heritage property managers – gain flexible space without intervening in historic buildings.
• Cultural event organizers – concerts, fairs, and weddings often take place near castles; the container serves as equipment storage and operational facilities.
• Museums and galleries – use the container to store depositories that are not in the main building.
• Gardeners and maintenance staff – safe storage of equipment and tools directly on the estate.

Where the Container Fits Specifically in Nový Jičín

Nový Jičín with the Žerotín Castle, museum, and surrounding historic buildings offers a number of places where the container can be used. The container can be placed in the farmyard, on a paved area behind the castle buildings, in a park near operational facilities, or at the edge of the castle garden, where it will not disturb the panoramic view. Given that shipping is free to Nový Jičín, there are no worries about logistics. The container in RAL 5010 color will blend into the environment and will not look disruptive even in the vicinity of cultural monuments.

Other Uses for the Container in the Castle Estate

In addition to classic storage, the High Cube container opens up a range of creative possibilities:

• Cash desk and entrance zone – ticket sales, information center, audio guide rental.
• Seasonal refreshments – mobile stand with coffee, ice cream, or souvenirs.
• Workshop or studio – space for restoration work, craft workshops, or floristry.
• Changing room and staff facilities – lockable cabinets, relaxation corner.
• Gallery or exhibition space – after installing lighting and ventilation openings, the container can be used for small exhibitions.
• Facilities for weddings and celebrations – storage of decorations, storage for catering equipment, space for DJ equipment.

Other Uses of the Container Outside Castle Estates

Although we are now focusing on the castle environment, the 40-foot High Cube container is universal. It will serve as a warehouse for companies, a construction cabin, an archive for offices, facilities for sports clubs, a mobile tool storage for technical services, or as a basis for a container house. Its durability and spaciousness open the door to an endless range of projects.

Free Shipping to Nový Jičín and Elsewhere in the Czech Republic

One of the biggest advantages of this offer is free shipping throughout the Czech Republic, including Nový Jičín. The container is loaded at our depot in the price, so you do not have to worry about any handling on the loading side. We will arrange transport with our special vehicle and place the container exactly where you need it.

However, to unload the container on site, it is necessary to arrange a crane, which the customer orders and pays for themselves.

We recommend preparing a reinforced, level surface in advance so that the container stands stably and the doors can be opened without problems.
