Shipping Container Purchase – Reliable Solutions for Transport and Storage
Discover CHV’s comprehensive range of ISO-certified shipping containers. Our 20-ft and 40-ft shipping containers, manufactured from high-quality Corten steel, are designed for worldwide transport and robust storage applications. With their long service life and proven reliability, they meet the highest operational standards and are the ideal choice for commercial and industrial use.
20-ft Shipping Container – The Backbone of Global Trade
The 20-ft shipping container is the versatile industry standard, suitable for both international transport and local storage solutions. Equipped with a CSC plate for global deployment, this container forms the foundation of worldwide logistics. With approximate dimensions of 6.0 m length, 2.44 m width, and 2.59 m height, the 20-ft container provides ample space for a wide range of applications across transport, storage, and conversion projects.
40-ft Shipping Container – More Space for Greater Requirements
The 40-ft shipping container offers significantly increased capacity and is ideal for larger volumes, bulky goods, or projects requiring extended storage space. It is widely used in international transport, logistics hubs, and industrial storage environments where efficiency and volume matter.
Available Container Types and Configurations
Our 20-ft and 40-ft shipping containers are available in five core configurations, most of which can be combined depending on requirements:
- Standard Container (Dry Van)
The classic ISO Container, ideal for transporting and storing dry goods. With its robust construction, the Dry Van is the most commonly used container type worldwide. It offers reliable protection for your cargo and is suitable for almost all applications. - Low Cube Container: The Low Cube container provides the same structural strength as a standard container but with a reduced overall height of approximately 2.25 m. It is ideal for applications with height restrictions, such as under bridges or in tunnels with limited clearance. Its lower profile can improve transport efficiency for cargo that does not require full internal height.
- High Cube Container: With approximately 30 cm of additional height (total height around 2.90 m) compared to a standard container, the High Cube container offers increased capacity for voluminous or oversized cargo. It enables optimized space utilization and is also frequently used as a base for modular office or accommodation containers.
- Double Door Container (Tunnel Container): Equipped with double doors at both ends, the Double Door container—also known as a tunnel container—offers maximum flexibility and accessibility. It is ideal for loading and unloading from both sides or for use as a temporary passageway. This configuration simplifies the handling of long or bulky goods and speeds up loading processes.
- Open Side Container : Featuring full-length side doors, the Open Side container provides unrestricted access to the entire interior. It is ideal for storing and unloading long materials or palletized goods. Commonly used as an event or promotion container or as a mobile showroom, it allows for effective presentation of products and services.
Key Features of Shipping Containers & ISO Containers
- Corten steel construction: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. This material protects the container against weather exposure and ensures a long service life, even under harsh environmental conditions.
- CSC certification: Guarantees worldwide shipping capability and compliance with the highest safety standards. The CSC plate confirms that the container meets international requirements for safe transport.
- Stackable up to 6 units: Enables efficient use of space on vessels, in ports, and in storage facilities, reducing both handling and storage costs.
- Secure and accessible design: Equipped with robust locking bars and a factory-installed lock box, ensuring reliable protection against theft and unauthorized access.
- Heavy-duty flooring: 28 mm marine-grade plywood floor supported by steel cross members. Designed for high load capacity and resistance to moisture and wear.
- Efficient condensation control: Integrated ventilation openings allow moisture to escape, reducing condensation buildup and protecting stored goods and cargo.
Buying a Shipping Container – Custome Equipment to Fit Your Needs
When purchasing a shipping container, a wide range of accessories and conversion options is available. Customize your ISO container to match your specific requirements:
- Shelving systems: Optimize the interior layout for storage by installing shelving and racking systems.
- Electrical installations: Equip your container with lighting, power outlets, and climate control to use it as a workspace, workshop, or sales unit.
- Special modifications: We implement tailored adaptations such as additional doors, windows, insulation, or special coatings.
