Shipping container Plzeň, 194 413-0

Are you looking for a reliable, stylish, and practically new shipping container that is perfect for conversion into a mobile bar or refreshment stand? We offer you a 40-foot (12.2 meter) High Cube container in an attractive anthracite grey color RAL 7016, stored at the depot in Plzeň. This unit has made only a single shipping voyage, meets top-quality IICL 6 standard, and thanks to its equipment – 4-bar door opening and 12 ventilation openings – it is literally predestined for transformation into a container bar. Container transport is not provided and is not included in the price; independent pickup at the Plzeň depot in the Czech Republic is required.

Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 40-foot High Cube Container

The 40-foot High Cube container offers a valuable 30 cm of extra height compared to the standard height version. Its external dimensions are approximately 12,192 mm (length) × 2,438 mm (width) × 2,896 mm (height). The interior space is then slightly smaller, but still generous – length around 12,032 mm, width 2,352 mm, and height around 2,698 mm.

The container volume reaches approximately 76.3 m³, making it one of the most spacious standard containers on the market. The load capacity (maximum cargo weight) is around 28,500 kg, while the total maximum weight of the container (including its own weight of approx. 3,900 kg) is 32,500 kg. These parameters mean that even after installing floors, partitions, a bar counter, and equipment, you have enough capacity reserve for all bar equipment or keg storage.

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

IICL 6 Quality After One Voyage – What Does It Mean?

The abbreviation IICL (Institute of International Container Lessors) denotes an international standard for evaluating container condition. Grade IICL 6 is reserved for containers that have made only a single shipping voyage and show minimal, often barely noticeable signs of use. In practice, this means the container looks like new at first glance – flat walls without dents, clean floor, trouble-free door sealing, undamaged hinges and locking mechanisms, and no traces of corrosion. When converting it into a bar, you get a base that does not require complex repairs or additional structural interventions. The container is immediately ready for use, and its service life, with regular maintenance, is several decades.

Color RAL 7016 – Anthracite Grey

RAL 7016, known as anthracite grey, is an elegant, dark grey shade with a subtle bluish undertone. This color looks modern and timeless, fitting perfectly both into industrial environments and natural locations or urban zones. Anthracite grey also excellently masks minor dirt and is resistant to fading. A container in this shade will look professional and at the same time discreet, which will be appreciated by both customers and operators. Given that we have multiple units in the depot, the color of a specific container may vary slightly – we will confirm the exact shade on request. However, all units correspond to the same type, dimensions, and quality.

Equipment: 4-bar opening and 12x Air Vents

This container is equipped with doors with 4-bar opening – this means that each door leaf is secured by two vertical locking bars (four in total). This system is robust, reliable, and allows easy handling, which is a great advantage when opening the bar daily. The doors can be opened wide, providing full access to the interior.

Another feature that distinguishes this container is 12 ventilation openings (Air Vents). These openings ensure natural air circulation, prevent moisture condensation, and help maintain a pleasant indoor climate even without forced ventilation. Especially for bar operation, where cooling, draft gas, and people moving around are involved, sufficient ventilation is key. Additionally, the ventilation openings are designed so that water does not leak through them even during heavy rain.

Conversion into a Container Bar – Ideal Use

Possibilities of Using a Container Bar

A container bar represents a modern and flexible solution for serving drinks at various events. It can serve as a permanent bar in a private garden, a seasonal stand in a recreational area, a mobile bar at festivals, markets, sporting events, or as an original addition to a restaurant, brewery, or café. Thanks to a thoughtful conversion, you can create a fully functional bar with taps, cooling, sink, and storage spaces.

Who It Is Suitable For

A container bar appeals to a wide range of interested parties – from small breweries that want to present their beer directly at events, through food truck operators, organizers of cultural and sporting events, to private enthusiasts who want to have a stylish bar in their garden or at their cottage. It will also find use in gastronomy establishments looking for a seasonal capacity expansion.

Where to Place a Container Bar – Best Locations in Plzeň

Plzeň is a city with a rich beer tradition, and a container bar has enormous potential here. Excellent locations include:

• Embankment by the Radbuza River – a popular place for gatherings, summer events, and cultural programs.
• DEPO2015 Area – a creative zone with an industrial atmosphere that directly invites the placement of a container bar.
• Parks and gardens – for example Křižíkovy sady, Lochotínský Park, or Borský Park, where there is high attendance and demand for refreshments.
• Surroundings of sports facilities – near football stadiums, skateparks, or swimming complexes.
• Historic center – Republic Square and adjacent streets during markets and festivities.
• Pilsner Urquell Brewery Area – near the brewery, where there is a concentration of tourists and local beer lovers.

Advantages of a Container Bar

Building a bar from a shipping container brings a number of advantages. Above all, it is a fast and cost-effective way to get a fully equipped bar. The container is robust, resistant to weather conditions and vandalism, and provides high security for stored equipment. Lockable doors with 4-bar opening ensure reliable securing outside operating hours. Thanks to the air vents and the option of additional insulation, the indoor environment is pleasant even on hot summer days.

Mobility and Flexibility

One of the greatest advantages of a container bar is its mobility. The container can be relatively easily transported to another location – all that is needed is appropriate transport equipment. You can thus respond to seasonal demand, move the bar between various events, or store it in winter and put it back into operation in spring. The High Cube container also has standardized dimensions, so transportation is usually not a problem.

Recommendations for Conversion and Operation

When planning the conversion, we recommend counting on quality insulation, installation of a moisture-resistant floor, and electrical and water distribution. The advantage is that thanks to the 12 ventilation openings, the need for complex air conditioning solutions is eliminated. For a bar, it is ideal to place the bar counter in the area of the open doors or in the side wall after cutting out an opening. You can also use a folding awning, which will extend the covered space in front of the bar. Do not forget the necessary permits for placing the container in a public space – in Plzeň, it is worth communicating with the city district or the manager of the given location.

Ideas and Inspiration

How about transforming a container into a designer bar with an industrial flair? Keep the exposed metal walls, complement them with wooden elements and LED lighting. Install folding benches and small tables inside to create a mini seating area. Or use the roof of the High Cube container as a terrace – after installing safety railings and a staircase, you get an observation bar with a view of the surroundings. In Plzeň, such a concept could work great right by the river or in a creative area.
