Description
🏅 What is a one-trip container? A one-trip 20 ft DRY container is almost brand new: it has completed only a single sea voyage from its production site to France. It is therefore in excellent condition: its original paint is intact, its Corten steel structure is clean and uniform, with no dents or pronounced rust marks. Its doors are easy to handle and its 28 mm marine plywood floor is in excellent condition. It is the ideal choice when the appearance of the container matters — for example if it is visible on your site, used in a professional setting, or intended for conversion (office, workshop, retail space, etc.). 📐 What is a DRY container? The term DRY refers to a standard-height shipping container, that is to say measuring 2.59 m on the outside and 2.39 m under the ceiling. It differs from High Cube models, which feature an additional 30 cm of height. This format is the most common on the market because it is lighter, more compact, and generates no transport surcharge linked to height. It is compatible with the full range of standard infrastructures (gantries, trailers, loading platforms…), which makes handling and installation easier. 🚪 What does “Easy Open Door” mean? The Easy Open Door name refers to a simplified opening system specifically designed to make handling the container doors easier, even when they are new or rarely used. Unlike standard doors, which can require greater effort (particularly in winter or after long periods of inactivity), the Easy Open Door mechanism limits the effort needed to open or close the doors thanks to its long-arm locking handle. This system is particularly appreciated by frequent users or in contexts of repeated access, since it saves time and provides comfort on a daily basis. 💁 20 ft DRY container: what is it used for? The one-trip 20 ft DRY shipping container is mainly used for secure storage, by professionals as well as private individuals. It allows you to easily store equipment, commercial stock or material outdoors — on a construction site, on a plot of land or in a garden. Its cleanliness and uniform appearance make it particularly suited to visible environments, especially those in contact with customers. It therefore lends itself perfectly to conversion projects: office, snack bar, retail outlet, workshop… A one-trip container in fact enjoys a longer service life than a used model, which makes it a particularly relevant choice for durable installations. 💧 Is this shipping container watertight? Yes, the one-trip 20 ft DRY container is 100 % wind- and watertight. Designed for international maritime transport, it meets the strictest requirements for protecting goods. Its Corten steel structure, floor and locking systems are in excellent condition, ensuring optimum protection against moisture, rain and bad weather. Unlike a used container, no watertightness defect is to be expected. Each container is therefore certified “wind & watertight” (WWT), which means that it is perfectly hermetic and able to protect its contents effectively, even in demanding outdoor conditions. 🚢 Can it be used for maritime transport? Yes, the one-trip 20 ft DRY container is supplied with a CSC navigability certificate valid for 10 years. This document, compliant with international regulations, certifies that the container is in perfect condition for use in maritime transport. Once that period has elapsed, the certificate can be renewed every 2 years after inspection, ensuring the safety and compliance of the container throughout its service life. 🎨 Can I choose the colour of my 20 ft container? Yes, you can choose the colour of your one-trip 20 ft container from several shades immediately available in stock. The colours offered are white, anthracite grey and navy blue, which are the most common and generally available without delay. If you are looking for a more specific shade — for aesthetic reasons, landscape integration or brand image — other colours can be offered on order, depending on current availability. 💰 How much does a 20 ft container cost? The price of a 20 ft container starts from €2,199 excl. VAT in the one-trip version, and from €999 excl. VAT in the used version. It is currently the most affordable shipping container on the market, since it represents nearly 60 % of the containers used in global maritime transport. Its popularity drives large-scale production, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs and makes the 20 ft container more accessible.
