Used WWT & Cargo-Worthy Shipping Containers

Used containers are retired from international shipping after 10–15 years of cargo service. They show cosmetic wear and surface rust but remain structurally sound and weatherproof — the best dollar-per-square-foot value in the market.

Key Specifications

  • 10–15 years of prior cargo service
  • Wind & Watertight (WWT): door seal verified
  • Cargo Worthy (CWO): WWT + structural cert for re-export
  • Surface rust, dents, and paint patches expected
  • 5–10 year usable life remaining
  • 30–40% cheaper than one-trip equivalents

WWT vs Cargo Worthy

WWT is the minimum spec for ground storage — doors seal, roof doesn't leak. Cargo Worthy adds a structural inspection certifying the container can be re-loaded onto a ship. CWO costs ~10% more.

What Cosmetic Wear Looks Like

Expect surface rust, paint scratches, manufacturer logos, dents in side panels, and weathered original color. The container is sold as-is; we don't repaint unless you order a refurbished unit.

Best Uses

Job site tool storage, agricultural storage, equipment cover, archive storage, secondary backyard storage — anywhere a perfect exterior isn't critical.
