Shipping container Prague 20 feet High Cube, 522 353-5
Are you looking for a reliable, spacious, and aesthetically valuable shipping container that will serve as the foundation for your new project? We present to you a 20-foot (6-meter) High Cube container in one-trip IICL 6 quality, with an elegant anthracite shade of RAL 7016, 4-bar door opening, and ten ventilation openings. This container is stored in the depot in Prague and is ready for immediate pickup. Let’s take a look at its parameters, quality, and above all how it can be transformed into a modern cycling corner right in the heart of the capital. Container transport is not included in the price; it must be picked up separately.
Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 20-foot High Cube Container
The 20-foot High Cube container differs from the classic “twenty” primarily in its greater internal height, which provides more space for movement and storage. Its external dimensions are approximately 6,058 mm in length, 2,438 mm in width, and 2,896 mm in height. The internal space offers a length of around 5,898 mm, a width of 2,352 mm, and a height of 2,698 mm. Thanks to this, the total volume is around 37.4 m³ – that is more than 10% more than a standard container.
The load capacity of such a container typically reaches up to 28,000 kg, while its own weight (tare) is approximately 2,300 kg. The massive steel construction and the plywood floor with anti-slip treatment guarantee durability even under intensive use. These parameters make the High Cube container an ideal choice not only for storage but also for demanding conversions. The dimensions are indicative and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
IICL 6 One-Trip Quality – Practically a New Container
The designation IICL 6 (Institute of International Container Lessors) means that this is a container in the highest category of one-trip quality. One-trip containers were manufactured, loaded, and sent on a single ship journey, after which they were decommissioned from maritime transport and sold on land. Therefore, they are not worn out by long-term use, showing no dents, corrosion, or structural defects. Their condition is comparable to a completely new piece – clean, undamaged, and ready for a new life.
Thanks to this quality, the container is perfectly suited for conversions into residential, commercial, or service units, as it eliminates the need for costly repairs and renovation work. You can insulate it, equip it, and use it right away without worrying about future problems.
RAL 7016 Color – Anthracite Elegance
The container in the RAL 7016 shade, known as anthracite gray, brings a modern and timeless look. This dark, neutral tone looks professional and easily blends into both urban environments and natural locations. The anthracite color is also practical – dirt is not as visible on it, and it does not attract excessive heat like black. Combined with the clean lines of the shipping container, an aesthetically clean object is created that can serve as a design element of public space. The container is painted with high-quality weather-resistant paints, so color fastness will last for many years.
4-Bar Opening and 10 Ventilation Openings
Safety and ventilation are key in conversions. This container opens using a system of four locking bars on the doors, ensuring a firm and reliable closure even with frequent use. The doors can easily be opened up to an angle of 270 degrees, making it easier to handle larger items.
Ten integrated ventilation openings (air vents) ensure natural air circulation inside the container. This is essential to prevent moisture condensation, mold growth, and musty air – especially if you plan to store sports equipment, bicycles, or textiles. Ventilation can be further modified as part of the conversion, but the basic passive ventilation is already prepared from the factory.
Conversion into a Cycling Corner – For Whom and How?
The shipping container, thanks to its dimensions, durability, and mobility, is directly offered for the creation of a full-fledged cycling corner. Let’s break down the usage options, target groups, and specific tips for Prague.
Who Is the Cycling Corner Suitable For?
- City districts and municipalities – as a service station on busy cycle paths or in parks.
- Cycling clubs and associations – for a base during rides, training, or races.
- Bicycle and scooter rentals – a mobile dispensing and service point that can be relocated according to the season.
- Commercial entities – cafés with a cycling theme, accessory shops, service workshops.
- Companies supporting cycling commuting – safe bicycle storage for employees, showers, and changing rooms.
Conversion and Use Options
The basic container can be transformed into a fully equipped bike point. The following are offered, for example:
- Service workshop – assembly stand, tools, space for washing bikes, shelves for spare parts.
- Storage and rental – secure bike stands, lockable boxes, dispensing counter.
- Café with refreshments – bar counter, refrigerator, seating in front of the container, toilet.
- Sales showroom – display of bikes, accessories, and clothing, lighting, shop window.
- Combined facilities – changing rooms, shower, storage, and relaxation zone.
For the conversion, it is advisable to insulate the container (e.g., with sprayed polyurethane foam), install electricity, water, and waste. The doors can be fitted with glazing, add an outdoor awning or terrace. Thanks to the High Cube height, the interior can be comfortably equipped even for standing persons.
Where the Cycling Corner Fits – Specifically in Prague
In Prague, the ideal location for a cycling corner is:
- Along backbone cycle routes – e.g., A2 (Vltava cycle path), A1 (Prague Ring), or routes around Stromovka, Letná, or Modřany.
- In city parks and recreational zones – Stromovka, Ladronka, Hostivař Reservoir, Prokopské Valley.
- Near sports complexes – e.g., around the cycle path in Bohnice, Troja, or at Žluté Lázně.
- Near railways and metro stations – as Bike & Ride stations for commuters (e.g., at Opatov, Zličín, Černý Most stations).
- On village greens or in community centers – as a shared workshop for housing estate residents.
The container kiosk can be easily placed on a paved surface, needs no foundation, and its anthracite color elegantly blends with modern urban architecture.
Advantages of a Cycling Corner Made from a Container
- Speed of implementation – the container is immediately available, after conversion it can be installed within a few days.
- Mobility – if the location changes, it can be transported and set up again.
- Safety – the steel construction resists vandalism and weather influences.
- Low costs compared to brick construction – without a building permit (in many cases), without foundations.
- Ventilation – 10 built-in vents ensure a healthy climate for stored bikes and equipment.
- Design – RAL 7016 looks modern and professional, can be easily wrapped with advertising or graphics.
Why Build a Cycling Corner Specifically from a Container?
The container is essentially a finished “modular box” that just needs to be modified according to your ideas. Its advantage lies in endless variability – you can use it as a standalone unit or combine several pieces into a larger whole. Compared to classic construction, the complex administrative processes are eliminated, and yet you gain a full-fledged and durable space. For a cycling business, it is the ideal starting solution – and if it proves successful, you can easily expand it.
Mobility and Relocatability
The container is designed for easy transport. It just needs to be loaded onto a flatbed truck using a crane or hydraulic arm and transported to a new location. It is not tied to a solid foundation, so it is also suitable for rented land, festivals, sports events, or seasonal operations. If the cycle path expands or the focus of cyclist movement changes, you simply move the corner.
Recommendations and Ideas for Your Project
- Insulation and interior cladding – for year-round operation, we recommend insulation and cladding made of OSB boards or planks.
- Windows and lighting – a window fitted into the side wall or a roof skylight will brighten the interior and attract customers.
- Security – in addition to the 4-bar closing, install a security hasp, alarm, or camera system.
- Outdoor modifications – a shelter, bike stands, outdoor seating with benches and greenery will increase attractiveness.
- Branding – wrap the container with decals featuring cycling themes, logo, and opening hours.
