Basic Used

These are the most common containers on the market. They are often called “Wind And Water Tight” or “Cargo Worthy”. They are an economical solution for your storage needs and are leak free and rodent proof. After 10-15 years of use in the shipping line industry, the shipping line companies will decide to retire the unit and sell it to distributors such as us. Because of their age, you can expect to see dents, scrapes, blemishes and surface rust. However, they have been guaranteed to be water tight and structurally sound. If cosmetic appearance is not an issue, these used units are a great option for affordable storage buildings.

Refurbished Containers

These containers are cargo worthy and generally the cream of the crop from our used selection. We grind, scrape and power wash the container and then paint the container using an industrial grade DTM paint specifically designed for shipping containers. Our stock colors are beige, grey, and field green, but custom colors can also be chosen. If you are looking for extra storage space but want your container to blend in nicely with your surroundings, this is a great option for you.

One-Trip Containers (Like New)

These containers are the closest thing you can get to a brand new container. They have been used one time across the ocean. They are in incredible shape. The floors are smooth, the inside is clean, the handles and latches open and close with very little effort, and they are definitely the best looking containers you can purchase. Many of them have extra vents for increased ventilation. Colors do vary, but they can typically be found in beige, light grey, blue and rust red.

Uses

Shipping containers have a wide variety of uses. Because they are designed and built to withstand heavy loads, high winds, long ocean voyages, salt water, hail, ice and snow, these incredibly strong units have been sought after for many applications. They are sealed to protect your goods from wind, water and rodents. They are also incredibly secure, making them very useful for unattended or remote storage areas.
