What does 'Wind and Watertight' (WWT) mean?

A Wind and Watertight (WWT) rating guarantees that the container is structurally sound and free from holes or leaks. While it will have cosmetic imperfections like rust and dents from its time in service, it will fully protect your stored items from the elements.

How much can I store in a 40ft container?

A 40ft standard container offers approximately 2,385 cubic feet of space. It can typically hold the contents of a three to four-bedroom house or a significant amount of commercial inventory or equipment.

What kind of site preparation is needed for delivery?

For a successful tilt-bed delivery, the site needs to be a firm, level surface like concrete, asphalt, gravel, or hard-packed dirt. The delivery truck needs a straight path of about 100 feet with no overhead obstructions.

Can I choose the color of my used container?

Used Wind and Watertight containers come in a variety of colors based on their original shipping line, and we cannot guarantee a specific color. However, the container can be easily painted to match your preference.

How long will a WWT container last?

With its Corten steel construction, a WWT container can last for decades. Proper placement on a level surface to ensure drainage will maximize its lifespan as a static storage unit.
