The 40ft x 8ft Used Shipping Container – Standard is a proven, cost-effective storage
solution designed for customers who need maximum space, strong security, and dependable weather
protection without the cost of a brand-new unit. Carefully sourced from trusted shipping lines and
professionally inspected, each container is guaranteed wind and watertight, making it
suitable for long-term storage, transport, or conversion projects across the USA.
With nearly 2,400 cubic feet of internal capacity, this standard 40ft container provides ample room
for storing equipment, materials, inventory, or personal belongings. Its robust steel construction
and heavy-duty flooring ensure it can withstand demanding environments such as construction sites,
industrial yards, farms, warehouses, or residential properties.
Durable Corten Steel Construction
Built from high-strength Corten steel, these used shipping containers are engineered to
perform in harsh maritime and land-based conditions. Corten steel naturally resists corrosion,
making it ideal for outdoor placement in varying climates. While used containers may show cosmetic
signs of previous service—such as dents, scrapes, or surface marks—their structural integrity
remains fully intact.
This rugged construction ensures your contents remain protected from rain, wind, and external
impacts, offering peace of mind whether the container is used for short-term projects or permanent
storage.
Secure Storage You Can Trust
Security is a key advantage of the 40ft used standard container. Each unit is fitted with
exterior hinged double cargo doors at one end, complete with
two heavy-duty locking bars per door. This robust locking system helps prevent
unauthorized access and keeps your stored items safe.
The solid steel doors seal tightly, maintaining the container’s wind- and watertight condition while
providing wide access for loading and unloading large or bulky items.
Ventilated & Weatherproof Interior
To help control moisture and condensation, each container is equipped with
four strategically placed ventilation vents. These vents promote airflow throughout
the interior, reducing humidity buildup and protecting stored goods from damp conditions.
Combined with the watertight steel shell, this ventilation system helps maintain a dry, stable
internal environment—ideal for tools, machinery, boxed inventory, furniture, or building materials.
Heavy-Duty Marine Plywood Flooring
Inside, the container features a 28mm marine-grade plywood floor supported by steel
cross members. This flooring is designed to handle heavy loads, palletized goods, and forklift
traffic with ease. Its durability makes the container suitable for industrial use, warehousing, and
repeated loading and unloading operations.
The flat, reinforced floor also makes this container an excellent base for conversions into
workshops, storage units, mobile offices, or other custom applications.
