Are you looking for a reliable and spacious storage container that will immediately increase your logistics capacity? At our Zlín depot, we have 20-foot (6-meter) containers ready in IICL 6 one-trip quality, in an elegant blue shade of RAL 5010. These containers are ideal for storage, transport, and various conversions. Container transport is not included in the price; self-pickup from the mentioned Zlín depot in the Czech Republic is required.

Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 20′ Container

A standard 20-foot container has external dimensions of approximately 6.06 m in length, 2.44 m in width, and 2.59 m in height. The internal space offers a length of around 5.90 m, a width of 2.35 m, and a height of 2.39 m. The total internal volume is therefore approximately 33 m³.

The load capacity of the container is very high – the maximum gross weight reaches 30,480 kg, while the tare weight is around 2,200 kg. The payload can therefore be up to approximately 28,000 kg, which guarantees that even heavy pallets with canned goods can be safely loaded. The floor area is approximately 13.9 m². The dimensions are indicative and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

IICL 6 One-Trip Quality – What Does It Mean?

The IICL 6 designation is based on the international standards of the IICL (Institute of International Container Lessors). The “one-trip” quality means that the container has made only one sea or land journey with cargo and was subsequently retired from service. It is therefore practically new, with no signs of wear, intact anti-corrosion protection, clean floors, and perfectly sealing doors. In practice, this means:

• No rust-through, dents, or repairs.
• Smooth and intact walls and roof.
• Floor made of quality plywood without damage.
• Doors open and close easily, the gasket is flexible and watertight.

This quality is ideal for long-term and demanding use, whether as a warehouse, mobile shop, or a base for food processors where hygiene is paramount.

RAL 5010 Color – Elegant and Practical Blue

The container is painted in RAL 5010 shade, known as gentian blue (Enzianblau). It is a rich blue color that looks professional and is also practical – the darker shade effectively masks common dirt and at the same time does not absorb as much heat as black. The paint is applied in one coat from the factory and resists weathering and UV radiation. The container will therefore look representative even after several years of operation.

Use for Distributors and Processors of Canned Foods

The Zlín depot storage container represents a practical and flexible solution for distributors and processors of canned foods who are looking for a safe space for storage, transport, and conversion according to current needs. Thanks to the robust steel construction, easy handling, and the possibility of placement directly in the company premises or at a depot, shipping containers are becoming an increasingly common choice for businesses in the food industry. The following text provides a detailed overview of the possibilities that the storage container in this location offers.

Who It’s Suitable For

The storage containers at the Zlín depot will appeal primarily to distributors of canned foods who need to quickly expand their storage capacities, and processors who can fruits, vegetables, meat, or ready meals. They will also be used by wholesalers, e-shops with long-lasting food, delicatessen producers, and catering companies that seasonally increase their supplies. The container is ideal for anyone who prefers a quickly available, secure, and mobile warehouse without the need to build permanent brick premises.

Use Options

The container from the Zlín depot is not just a classic warehouse – its use is much broader. Distributors and processors of canned foods can use it for storing finished products, raw materials, and packaging materials, for transporting goods between factories, warehouses, and customers, or for converting it into specialized mobile units. The variability of the container allows it to be tailored precisely to a specific operation.

Storage Options

Inside the container, optimal conditions can be created for the long-term preservation of canned goods, which require a dry, ventilated, and clean environment without direct sunlight. A standard container is watertight and resistant to weather conditions, so it protects the contents from moisture, dust, and pests. To increase comfort, interior cladding, insulation, shelving systems, lighting, or ventilation can be added. Security is ensured by sturdy lockable doors and the possibility of connection to the site’s security system.

What Can Be Stored for Distributors and Processors of Canned Foods

A wide range of items can be placed in the container. Finished canned goods – from sterilized vegetables, legumes, fruits, meat products, pâtés, ready meals, to jams and compotes – are stored in cardboard boxes on pallets. Likewise, tin packaging and lids, glass containers, labels, cardboard dividers, and films belong here. Processors will appreciate the possibility of storing raw materials such as sugar, salt, spices, oil, or vinegar, which are necessary for production and which in their original packaging can easily wait for further processing.

How Much Fits in a 20′ Container

The 20-foot container is the most frequently requested size at the Zlín depot. Its internal dimensions are approximately 5.9 × 2.35 × 2.39 meters, giving a volume of approximately 33 m³. For euro pallets (120 × 80 cm), 10 to 11 pallets can fit standardly if you stack them in one layer without stacking. With the use of racks and stacking, the capacity can be significantly increased. The load capacity of the container allows storage of up to around 20–25 tons of cargo, so even heavy pallets with canned goods are no problem. With full use of the floor area (approximately 13.8 m²), hundreds of cardboard boxes and smaller packages can be stored.

Transport Options

The container from the Zlín depot is designed for multimodal transport. It can be easily loaded onto truck transport, a railway wagon, or transported by water. Distributors of canned foods can thus use the container as a transport unit for deliveries to customers, to large warehouses, or to transshipment points. The Zlín depot serves as a central point where the container can be picked up, delivered to the destination, or transported via a forwarding service. Thanks to standardized dimensions, handling is quick and safe.

What to Transport for Distributors and Processors of Canned Foods

The container can transport finished products intended for shipment – pallets with canned goods, cardboard boxes of mixed goods, samples for trade fairs, or seasonal supplies. Processors can transport raw materials between individual factories, for example, freshly picked fruit in transport containers waiting to be processed, or semi-finished products and packaging material. Transport in a container ensures that the goods are not damaged, remain dry, and are not contaminated from the outside.

Conversion Options

In addition to the storage and transport function, the container from the Zlín depot also offers extensive conversion options. Its solid steel frame allows for cutting windows, installing doors, electrical wiring, underfloor heating, air conditioning, or sanitary facilities. For distributors and processors of canned foods, this creates a space that can be transformed into a practical facility directly on site.

What It Can All Be Converted Into for Distributors and Processors of Canned Foods

A converted container can serve as a mobile tasting room where customers sample novelties, or as a traveling shop at farmers’ markets and food festivals. Processors will appreciate the conversion into a small test kitchen where new recipes can be developed and raw material quality verified. Another option is office premises, a sample warehouse, an archive, or even a temporary laboratory for sterility control. All these modifications can be custom-made and the container remains mobile, so it can be moved as needed.

Advantages

The container solution brings several significant advantages. Security – the lockable steel box protects the contents from theft and adverse weather. Durability – the construction resists corrosion, moisture, and mechanical damage. Flexibility – one container today serves as a warehouse, tomorrow as a transport unit, and in a month as a traveling shop. Speed – from ordering to delivery on the plot often takes only a few days. Scalability – as the company grows, additional containers can be easily added and assembled into a larger unit. Low acquisition costs – compared to building a masonry warehouse, the container is significantly more affordable.

Other Uses for Distributors and Processors of Canned Foods

In addition to primary storage and transport, the container can also be used as a temporary transshipment point during seasonal peaks, for example, during the harvest season when there is a need to quickly accommodate an increased volume of raw materials. It can function as a separate space for returnable packaging, empty jars and cans, or as a technical facility for maintenance tools and spare parts. Distributors can use it as a document archive, a warehouse for promotional items, or as a rest room for drivers and warehouse workers.

Mobility

Mobility is one of the main reasons why distributors and processors of canned foods choose the container from the Zlín depot. The container can be transported by a truck with a hydraulic arm to any paved location, moved to another site or to a trade fair within a few hours. For temporary events such as farmers’ markets, gastro festivals, or manufacturer’s presentation days, it serves as a fully equipped facility. After the event, it is simply transported back to the depot or warehouse.

Ideas

How can the container be creatively used? Distributors can turn a converted container into a traveling tasting stand that visits business partners and presents novelties directly at their parking lots. Processors can set up a seasonal canned goods dispensing point for the public in the container, supporting local sales. Another idea is to use the container as a warehouse for humanitarian packages with long-lasting food for charitable events. Last but not least, containers can be assembled into a small distribution center with separated sections for different types of goods.

The Zlín depot storage container offers distributors and processors of canned foods a universal tool that covers storage, transport, and special conversions. Thanks to its durability, security, and mobility, it becomes a sound investment that adapts to the growth of the company and changing market demands. Whether you are looking for an additional warehouse, a transport unit, or an original mobile shop, the container from the Zlín depot will meet your expectations and help streamline your entire operation.
