Technical Parameters of the 40-foot High Cube Container

External dimensions: 12,192 mm (length) × 2,438 mm (width) × 2,896 mm (height). Internal dimensions: approximately 12,032 mm × 2,352 mm × 2,698 mm. The total volume is around 76.3 m³, which makes it one of the most spacious standardized containers on the market. The weight of the empty container is approximately 3,900 kg and the maximum payload reaches up to 26,580 kg, with a total permissible weight of 30,480 kg. The dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

The High Cube version adds approximately 30 cm of extra height compared to the standard container – a detail you will appreciate when storing vertical materials, installing shelves, or handling bulky items.

What Does Cargo Worthy Quality Mean

Containers in Cargo Worthy quality are fully operational for both sea and land transport. They have a valid CSC plate confirming that they have passed regular safety inspections and meet international standards. Despite minor cosmetic defects, such as small scratches or dents, they retain excellent tightness, strength, and resistance to weather conditions. For artistic textiles, this quality is crucial – it reliably protects sensitive materials from moisture, dust, and pests, whether the decommissioned cargo container serves as a warehouse or travels to an exhibition.

Use for Artistic Textiles: Space, Mobility, and Creativity

This decommissioned cargo container is tailor-made for companies and craftspeople working with gobelins, tapestries, and historical textiles. Its robust construction, large volume, and flexibility make it a tool with no competition in the artistic textile field. Let’s take a detailed look at how it can serve you.

Who Is the Container Suitable For

It will appeal primarily to manufacturers of gobelins, restoration workshops, museums, and galleries managing extensive collections of historical fabrics. It will also find application with transporters specializing in fragile artifacts, decorating companies, or independent artists who need a safe, affordable, and mobile space. If your work requires storage, transport, or even creation directly on site, this decommissioned cargo container will become indispensable.

Storage Options

With a volume of 76.3 m³, you can fit an enormous amount of material into the container. It is ideal for storing:

• rolls of gobelins, carpets, and textile panels,
• restored or awaiting items in protective packaging,
• weaving looms, frames, pallets with yarn and dyes,
• restoration tools and chemicals (subject to safety precautions),
• archive shelves with documentation, samples, and photographs.

We estimate that the space can hold up to several hundred rolls of textiles – depending on their diameters and lengths. Thanks to the High Cube height, you can use the space up to the ceiling, for example by installing multi-level shelving systems. The entire interior can be customized to your needs: add wooden paneling, shelves, storage boxes, or special hanging rails for vertical carpet storage.

Transport Options

Thanks to the valid CSC plate, the decommissioned cargo container is immediately ready for international transport. Send in it to exhibitions, trade fairs, or to customers:

• finished tapestries and gobelins,
• loans of historical exhibits between museums,
• all equipment for temporary exhibitions (panels, display cases, lighting equipment).

Standardized dimensions allow easy loading onto a truck, train, or ship – transport can be arranged by any logistics partner. The container thus serves not only as a warehouse but also as a reusable packaging that protects the contents from shocks and climatic changes during the journey.

Custom Conversion Options

The decommissioned cargo container has enormous potential for conversion into functional spaces. In the field of artistic textiles, the possibilities are endless:

• Mobile restoration studio – equip the interior with work tables, sinks, special lighting, and a ventilation system. Wherever you go, you can immediately start working on gobelins, for example directly in historical buildings.
• Climate-controlled warehouse – by installing insulation, heating, air conditioning, and a hygrometer, you create ideal conditions for long-term storage of sensitive fabrics. Placed in the workshop yard, it replaces the function of an archive.
• Exhibition gallery – modify the interior into a safe exhibition space with spot lighting, a hanging system, and information panels. Park the container at a festival, square, or park and bring art closer to the general public.
• Textile dyeing workshop – the durable metal floor and walls allow work with dyes and chemicals, easy ventilation can be provided by roof openings or fans.
• Mobile shop with textile souvenirs – at markets and fairs, sell directly from a container converted into a stylish stand with a counter and backroom.

Conversion is faster and cheaper than building a masonry structure. Moreover, the container generally does not require a building permit if it is placed as a mobile facility.

Benefits for Textile Art

• Safety: the all-metal construction protects against theft, fire, and adverse weather. Your valuable textiles stay dry and safe.
• Tightness: high-quality profiled seals prevent the ingress of moisture and dust – the two main enemies of historical fabrics.
• Mobility: the container does not have to stay in one place. With the help of a crane, you can move it to another address or abroad within a few hours.
• Flexibility: you can modify the interior as you wish with shelves, partitions, spot lighting, or colored wall paints. Every project is unique.
• Savings: compared to long-term warehouse rental or workshop construction, you get a huge space for a one-time investment without additional hidden fees.

Mobility and More Ideas

The container can be easily moved to another location or parked right at the customer’s site. For textile artists, it is an opportunity to take a “workshop with you” to symposiums, festivals, residencies, or even filming and photographing fabrics – with adjusted lighting, a perfect studio background is created. Other uses include:

• temporary archive during museum reconstruction,
• seasonal warehouse for textile collections,
• shared studio for several artists,
• facilities for outdoor weaving workshops.

When planning the conversion, we recommend consulting a specialist about suitable materials, such as wooden paneling, anti-corrosion paints, or safety features. Don’t forget sufficient ventilation and, in the case of chemical processes, also vapor extraction. Imagination knows no bounds – the container can become the heart of your textile creation.
