What is a Dry container?
La famille Dry regroupe les conteneurs maritimes fermés les plus utilisés. Elle sert au transport de marchandises sèches, au stockage sécurisé et aux projets d’aménagement simples.
Read more
Un conteneur Dry repose sur une structure en acier Corten, un acier auto-patinable qui résiste naturellement à la corrosion marine. Les dimensions suivent les standards ISO, ce qui facilite le transport par camion, train ou navire.
Le choix dépend surtout du volume utile, de la charge admissible et de l’accès au site. Un 20 pieds reste polyvalent, tandis qu’un 40 ou 45 pieds optimise le volume disponible.

Les formats Dry se livrent généralement par camion adapté. La faisabilité dépend de la longueur du conteneur, de l’accès camion et de la zone de dépose.
In detail
What is a used 5 ft container?
The 5 ft container is the smallest storage module in the range. It's a large-format safe: it secures valuable tools, sports equipment or sensitive archives in a minimal footprint. It's an inspected used unit, delivered in inspected used condition.
Read more
Its welded steel construction offers 2.3 m³ of usable volume and 1.9 m² of floor area, for 500 kg empty and a 2,000 kg capacity. Its outer dimensions, 1.626 m × 1.397 m × 1.245 m, allow it to fit into a garage, under a carport or on a compact terrace.
For a Used version, National Conteneur uses this technical base as a reference, then qualifies each unit according to its actual condition: structure, weatherproofing, doors, floor, markings, documents and equipment specific to the product family. The technical information therefore remains that of the model, while cosmetic condition, availability and certificates depend on the batch offered.
Check the loaded dimensions
Record the dimensions and mass of the largest item, including its support and packaging. Specify the handling equipment and access needed to load, unload and work on the contents.

- Door opening (W × H)
- 1,250 m × 1,000 m
- Interior (L × W × H)
- 1,500 m × 1,300 m × 1,100 m
Use the internal dimensions to plan the load or equipment layout. Allow the clearances needed for movement, handling and maintenance for your intended use.
Mass and load distribution
Check total mass, point loads, load distribution and handling equipment compatibility. Available volume does not determine permissible load: reference masses are listed in the technical specifications.

Exterior dimensions and installation
- Exterior (L × W × H)

These dimensions describe the container envelope. Door movements, connections and servicing may require additional space around the unit.
The unloading area depends on the vehicle and lifting method. It must be assessed separately from the container’s final position.

Read the dimensions guideLe choix de l’état
Premier voyage ou occasion ?
L’aspect attendu, l’usage et le budget orientent le choix. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé avant de vous décider.
Premier voyage : quel état ?
Un conteneur premier voyage est une unité récemment fabriquée qui a effectué un trajet maritime de positionnement. Son aspect est généralement proche du neuf, mais de petites marques de transport ou de manutention restent possibles.
C’est une option à privilégier pour une installation visible, un aménagement soigné ou un projet où l’état initial compte particulièrement. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé.
Occasion : pour quels usages ?
Un conteneur d’occasion a déjà servi au transport maritime. Les bosses, les reprises de peinture, la corrosion et les réparations varient d’une unité à l’autre : l’appellation seule ne décrit pas son état réel.
Pour le stockage, le chantier ou un usage technique, une occasion contrôlée peut répondre au besoin avec un budget initial plus contenu. Distinguez les traces d’usage acceptables des défauts qui affectent la structure, la fermeture des portes ou l’étanchéité.
Que vérifier avant l’achat ?
- Structure : déformations importantes, trous, corrosion perforante, état du châssis et des coins ISO.
- Portes et joints : ouverture, fermeture, fonctionnement des barres de verrouillage et continuité des joints.
- Plancher et étanchéité : zones molles, réparations inadaptées et entrées de lumière anormales, hors ventilation prévue.
Pour un transport maritime international, faites aussi confirmer la validité CSC et l’aptitude de l’unité au transport prévu. La plaque ne remplace pas l’examen du conteneur.
Budget : que faut-il comparer ?
À format comparable, l’occasion est généralement moins chère à l’achat. Vérifiez aussi ce que le devis inclut : le conteneur, le transport et le déchargement sur votre site.
À format identique, les dimensions nominales restent les mêmes ; la tare et la charge utile se vérifient sur les plaques. Pour un frigorifique, un Open Side ou un conteneur équipé, contrôlez aussi les équipements décisifs pour votre usage : groupe froid, portes ou installations.
In detail
Mini-container or garden shed: which to choose?
A conventional garden shed is made of plastic or lightweight wood: it protects from rain, but quickly gives way to a break-in or a storm. The mini-container, on the other hand, is made of welded steel sheet on a profiled frame. Its one-piece structure has no screws accessible from the outside.
The choice therefore depends on what is being stored. For garden tools with no real value, a lightweight shed is enough. For power tools, expensive sports equipment or archives, the mini-container provides a level of security and durability that no shed can match.
Applications
Uses for a used 5 ft container
The 5 ft fulfills the role of an ultra-secure outdoor safe, where a plastic bin or a wooden shed remains insufficient.
The applications below show the contexts in which this format is most relevant. Each use case links the on-site need to the concrete benefit of the container.
Highlights
Why buy a used 5 ft container
The 5 ft is the smallest module in the range: its role is not volume, but security within a minimal footprint. The strengths below explain what sets it apart from an ordinary garden storage box, steel construction, watertightness, locking, and why it genuinely protects what has value.
The strengths below explain what each technical choice brings to the project. They help compare the product with a less specialized alternative or a different condition.
-
Minimal footprint
Minimal footprint
Just 1.9 m² of floor area, enough to fit into a standard garage or an outdoor storage nook. The module fits where no other secure safe would.
-
Maximum ruggedness
Maximum ruggedness
The welded steel sheet on a profiled frame places this module well beyond ordinary garden storage boxes. No panel comes loose, no wall gives way under leverage.
-
Can be handled alone
Can be handled alone
At 500 kg empty, the unit can be moved with a simple pallet jack or a mini-lift. Repositioning it on site requires no heavy logistics.
-
Complete watertightness
Complete watertightness
Seals on the doors and roof protect the interior from splashing and condensation. Tools, archives or sensitive equipment stay dry year-round.
-
High-end locking
High-end locking
The housings are designed for professional-grade armored padlocks. The module closes like a genuine safe, not like a shed.
-
Durable investment
Durable investment
Built in steel for more than 15 years of outdoor use, the module doesn't need replacing every few winters like a plastic or wood shed.
Applications
