20-ft Shipping Container
20-ft Shipping Container – One-trip Dry Van in two colors
Good as new, CSC-certified and equipped with Easy-Open doors
The 20-ft shipping container is the standard choice for international freight, dependable on-site storage and a wide range of commercial applications. These one-trip units have completed a single journey from the factory and arrive in Europe in good as new condition, ready for continued transport or storage use.
A proven 20-ft Dry Van for transport and secure storage
Each container is built from corrosion-resistant Corten steel and supplied with a currently valid CSC plate. Standard external dimensions are 6,058 × 2,438 × 2,591 mm, with approximately 33 m³ of internal capacity and a confirmed tare weight of 2,250 kg.
Easy-Open access for practical everyday use
The double doors are fitted with CHV’s three-bar Easy-Open locking system. The reduced number of locking bars makes regular opening and closing easier while retaining the secure, robust door construction expected from an ISO shipping container. A lockbox provides additional protection for the door lock.
The 28 mm marine-plywood floor is supported by steel crossmembers, while integrated ventilation openings help reduce condensation during storage.
The same proven specification in two finishes
Choose between Pure White RAL 9010 and Anthracite Grey RAL 7016. The two purchasable versions share the same dimensions, construction, Easy-Open door system and CSC status; only the exterior color differs.
A standardized container with room for adaptation
The standard Dry Van can also provide a robust starting point for shelving, electrical installation and project-specific modifications. For other lengths, door arrangements and specialist ISO formats, explore the complete ISO shipping-container range.
For temporary storage requirements, a 20-ft storage container is also available for rent.
