About 40ft Used Shipping Containers
Used 40ft containers have been retired from international shipping after years of ocean service. They are wind and watertight and structurally sound, but will show cosmetic evidence of their journey — expect dents, dings, and surface rust patches.
40ft used containers are ideal for storing high-volume items: furniture, retail inventory, farming equipment, vehicles, and construction materials. At roughly double the space of a 20ft container, they offer exceptional value per square foot.
What to Expect
- Wind and watertight — guaranteed
- Visible dents, dings, and surface rust — normal

- Functional cargo doors with working locks
