Equipped with a CSC (Container Safety Convention) tag, it is certified for safe transportation, making it suitable for sea, road or rail shipments.
In terms of usage, this container is an advantageous choice for industry, construction, and private individuals who need a temporary warehouse or a mobile option for transporting goods. It is easy to move thanks to the wide opening of the doors (2,280 mm), which facilitates the loading and unloading of even bulky materials.
For those purchasing a used 20-foot container, it is important to evaluate the integrity of the structure, checking for major damage, rust or deformations that could compromise safe use. Furthermore, although they are durable, they require periodic maintenance to ensure that the seals and closures remain effective. Investing in a used container of this type allows you to save money compared to a new one without sacrificing functionality.
To comply with regulations, the container must always be in good condition and compliant with ISO and CSC standards to be reused. In case of deficiencies, it is advisable to contact specialized centers for adjustments and safety checks.
If you are looking for a reliable container at an attractive price, a used 20-foot container for around 1000 euros can represent an excellent deal, combining quality and savings for various sectors of use.
