Shipping Container Ostrava 12m – 40’HC IICL6, 239 201-5

Are you looking for a robust, spacious, and at the same time flexible solution for storage, transport, or even conversion in the steel industry? Our 40-foot (12.2 meters) shipping container in High Cube version, IICL 6 quality, with an elegant blue RAL 5010 shade, is exactly what you need. And what’s more – transport to Ostrava and throughout the entire Czech Republic is completely free!

Basic parameters of the 12m (40 ft HC) container

The Shipping Container Ostrava – 40′ High Cube container offers standard external dimensions: length 12,192 mm, width 2,438 mm, and height 2,896 mm. The internal space is just slightly smaller, yet it provides enormous volume for storage or transport. The payload capacity is around 28,600 kg, making it an ideal carrier even for very heavy materials. The total internal volume reaches approximately 76 cubic meters – which means you can load significantly more than in a standard 20-foot container, which holds only about 33 m³. The difference is striking, and it is precisely this capacity that makes it a top choice for industrial use. The dimensions are indicative and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

IICL 6 quality and RAL 5010 color – a guarantee of durability and style

Our container meets the strict IICL 6 standards. What does that mean? IICL is an international standard for the inspection and certification of shipping containers, with grade 6 designating containers after their first or second shipping cycle that are still fully suitable for international transport. They have no significant damage, a solid structure, functional doors and seals, and no corrosion threatening the integrity. Simply put: you get a container that is like new, carefully inspected, and ready for many more years of service.

The RAL 5010 color, known as gentian blue, gives the container not only an aesthetic appearance but also practical advantages. This deep blue is resistant to UV radiation, does not fade easily, and excellently masks any dirt from industrial environments. In addition, it looks professional and presentable, so even at your workplace, the container will fit in well with other equipment and buildings.

Versatile use in the steel industry

The steel industry places extreme demands on equipment – dust, vibrations, high temperatures, and chemical stress. The Shipping Container Ostrava is made for this environment. It is made of Cor-Ten steel, which resists corrosion and mechanical stress. Let’s take a look at how you can specifically use it.

Who is the container suitable for?

Steelworks, rolling mills, foundries, metalworking companies, steel processors, construction firms trading in metal profiles, service centers – they will all appreciate durable storage space right on the premises. It is equally suitable for transporting metal material anywhere in the country or abroad.

Storage options in a steel plant operation

What all can you store in the container? Practically anything related to the production and processing of steel: steel sheets, coils, profiles, tubes, bars, fittings, cuttings, semi-finished products, as well as tools, spare parts, welding equipment, protective equipment, or laboratory samples. The high load capacity and sturdy floor (usually made of plywood or wood impregnated against moisture, or it can be modified) allow the stacking of heavy loads. The container protects stored items from weather, theft, and unauthorized entry. The doors can be secured with a padlock or seal. In a steel plant, you can thus have a mobile warehouse right next to the production line, saving time and handling costs.

Transport of metal material

The container is primarily designed for sea, rail, and road transport. In the steel industry, it can be used to transport steel products that need to be protected from damage and corrosion. For example, hot-rolled coils, cold-formed profiles, wires, ropes, as well as machine components or castings. The enclosed space ensures that the material arrives in perfect condition and without loss. The container can be easily transferred from truck to train or ship, simplifying logistics. Its standardized dimensions and corner fittings (corner castings) allow safe handling by crane or forklift.

Container conversions in a steel industry environment

Thanks to their modular design, shipping containers are very easy to convert. In the steel industry, you can adapt the container into:

• A mobile office, changing room, or break room for employees right on the premises.
• A tool and consumables warehouse with a racking system.
• A maintenance workshop with a welding box, lighting, and ventilation.
• A laboratory for steel quality control (metallography, hardness testing).
• A server room or switchgear room for production control systems.
• A security checkpoint, gatehouse.
• A fire-resistant flammable materials warehouse (after adding insulation and coating).

The possibilities are limited only by your imagination and technical regulations. The container can be equipped with electrical installations, heating, air conditioning, windows, insulation – in short, you can turn it into a fully functional space for specific purposes. In steelworks operations, mobile cells have proven particularly effective, as they can be moved by crane to different halls as needed.

Advantages of the container solution

• Durability: The container withstands impacts, vibrations, and chemicals typical for steelworks.
• Security: A locked container will protect expensive tools or material.
• Mobility: Easily move it with a crane. As soon as you change the production layout, simply move the container elsewhere.
• Quick availability: No need to wait for a brick-and-mortar building – the container is ready for immediate use.
• Low costs: Compared to building permanent warehouses, the purchase and maintenance of a container is significantly cheaper.
• Ecology: By using a refurbished container, you give a second chance to quality material and protect the environment.

Mobility – a key advantage for dynamic operations

In the steel industry, the layout of production lines, storage areas, and assembly sites often changes. With a container, you don’t have to build permanent infrastructure. If production expands, just call in a crane, and within moments you have the container where you need it. This flexibility is invaluable. Likewise, when modernizing the operation, the container doesn’t lose value – it can always be used elsewhere or sold.

Recommendations and ideas for the steel industry

• Create a mobile intermediate warehouse: Place the container near the dispatch area and store finished products ready for loading in it. This speeds up handling.
• Set up a central spare parts warehouse: For steel equipment, you need to have bearings, belts, filters, and seals on hand. The container will serve as a clean and dry cabinet.
• Security cell for precious metals and ferroalloys: When alloying steel, valuable additives are used (nickel, molybdenum, vanadium). A locked container with an alarm will protect these materials from loss.
• Field maintenance workshop: Equip the container with a workbench, vise, welding inverter, and portable grinder. It will serve excellently for quick repairs directly on the premises, without the equipment having to go to the central workshop.
• Facilities for external companies: During shutdowns and inspections, suppliers arrive with their equipment. Rent them a container as an office and warehouse, gaining control over their tools and preventing mess.
