20ft Used Shipping Container – Wind & Watertight

Wind and watertight is the grade most Australian buyers should be looking at. It means the container keeps all weather out and is structurally sound — the doors seal, the roof does not leak, the frame is square — while carrying the dents, patches and mixed paint of a container that has spent a decade at sea. For anything that is going to sit in a yard and be locked, that is the whole specification.

These are ex-shipping-line 20ft units on 28 mm marine plywood over steel cross members, with two locking bars per door and fitted vents.

Specifications

What it costs you against a one-trip

Roughly half, and what you give up is paint. The steel thickness, the floor, the locking gear and the internal volume are the same. If the container is going to be seen by customers, or converted into something people will live or work in, pay for the one-trip. If it is going behind a shed, do not.

Optional finishing

• Rub down and respray to any RAL colour of your choice
• Personnel doors, windows and extra vents
• Shelving, racking and battery lighting
• Lining and insulation for workshop use
