Used Shipping Container 20’DC – AS IS 2 Condition (Decommissioned), 195 494-4
We offer for sale a used shipping container 6 metres long (20 feet) in its authentic condition after being retired from transport. Ideal as an affordable storage unit for a construction site, garden, material storage, or as a base for a workshop. The sale is conducted on an “AS IS” basis – a decommissioned shipping container (as shown in the photographs). AS IS 2 quality containers are retired from maritime transport, meaning they no longer meet the strict conditions for international cargo transport, but still offer a safe, dry, and enclosed space suitable for storage. Delivery of the container to Rýmařov and elsewhere throughout the Czech Republic is free of charge upon meeting the conditions below.

AS IS shipping containers represent the most affordable storage space option on the market. The greatest benefit of these containers is their low purchase price compared to new or near-new units. Moreover, they are immediately available – physically in stock at the depot, ready for immediate collection without the need for a long wait.

Extending Service Life and Modification Options
A used AS IS shipping container can be further modified and adapted to specific needs. A simple coat of paint can not only significantly extend the container’s service life, but also improve its appearance. Painting prevents corrosion and protects the container from adverse weather conditions, which is appreciated by anyone who wants the assurance of long-term use.
Use of a Used 20’DC Shipping Container for Nursery School Managers
Used 20′ DC (twenty-foot) shipping containers represent an effective, safe, and economical solution for storing everything needed for the operation of a nursery school. They offer facility managers a flexible space that can easily be placed in the school garden or on the premises. Using a container minimises the costs of building new storage spaces while providing adequate protection against weather conditions and unauthorised access.
What Can Be Stored in the Container
A shipping container is ideal for storing a wide range of equipment needed for the operation of a nursery school:
- Seasonal toys and play equipment – e.g. outdoor slides, swings, balance bikes, balls, or building blocks.
- Sports equipment – cones, balls, skipping ropes, goals, exercise mats, etc.
- Garden tools and maintenance supplies – lawnmowers, garden shears, watering cans, rakes, shovels, bags of soil, and other tools needed for maintaining the school garden.
- Furniture and seasonal equipment – tables, chairs, rest mats, parasols, tents, or benches that are not used year-round.
- Educational aids and materials – educational toys, books, building sets, or materials for creative activities.
- Protective and cleaning supplies – stocks of cleaning and disinfecting products, work clothing, gloves, and other aids important for ensuring safety and cleanliness.
Advantages of Using a Used 20’DC Container
- Safety and durability: Shipping containers are designed to withstand adverse weather conditions and protect stored contents from moisture, dust, and pests. The steel structure ensures a high level of security against break-ins.
- Mobility and flexibility: The container can be relocated to another spot on the premises if needed, or moved to another nursery school.
- Space efficiency: It enables effective use of space at the nursery school – everything needed is safely stored outside the main operational building, freeing up space for children and teachers.
- Easy maintenance: Compared to conventional storage rooms, the container requires minimal maintenance – regular ventilation and checking the condition of the doors and seals is sufficient.
Layout Options and Container Capacity
A standard 20-foot container measures approximately 6 metres in length, 2.4 metres in width, and 2.6 metres in height. The total internal volume is approximately 33 cubic metres. This means you can safely store a large amount of equipment, including larger items that would not fit elsewhere. The container can be fitted with shelves, hanging systems, or hooks according to the current needs of the nursery school, making effective use of its entire space.
Storage of Tools and Maintenance Equipment
For nursery school managers, it is important to have all tools and maintenance supplies always at hand, while also keeping them safely stored so that children cannot access them. A shipping container provides a lockable and separate space where, for example, power tools, garden maintenance chemicals, or spare parts can be stored, while ensuring that these items do not pose a risk to children’s safety.
Expansion and Customisation Options
Containers can easily be fitted out according to individual requirements – for example, by installing shelves, coat hooks, boxes for small items, or lighting. Even though a decommissioned container is not ideal for structural modifications or alterations to the structure, minor interior fittings can be added without any issues. A container fitted out in this way becomes a well-organised, tidy, and safe storage space for everything needed.
The use of a used 20’DC shipping container is a proven and effective solution for nursery school managers looking for a safe and flexible space for storing equipment, tools, and materials. Thanks to its capacity, durability, and customisation options, the container offers long-term and reliable use that will significantly ease the day-to-day running of the nursery school.
