They vary from 10ft to 40ft. Our new containers are CSC Plated, which means that they've been examined by shipping lines and deemed as fit to carry cargo across the ocean. Similar to our second-hand containers, our used ones will come with either a CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also provide a cheap used shipping container that can be used as a garage or garden shed. These containers will show evidence of their time on shipping lines, with plenty of surface rust and bumps and scratches. These containers are perfect for clients who have little money or don't care if their container isn't perfect. We can paint the container you want to improve its appearance, and also extend its lifespan.
They're ready to go
You'll receive a used container that has been on the back of shipping lines for a long time. It'll have surface scratch marks, rust, and dent. However, it will have been thoroughly checked for structural integrity by the vendor and come fitted with an authentic CSC plate. This is the plate that indicates the container has been certified for shipment of cargo to overseas destinations.

In some instances, it makes more sense to buy an old container rather than buying a brand new one. You may not be concerned about the look of the container or your budget might not permit you to purchase a new one. Whatever the reason, purchasing a used container will save you money and is a good option for many purposes and projects.

The steel used in these units is extremely durable, and a quality container will last for about twenty years. It's also worth remembering that purchasing an old container is economically and environmentally sustainable. Reusing a container can be an eco-friendly solution since the manufacturing process of a container requires a lot of energy and raw material.
