40 ft Shipping Container – Corten Steel – Wind and Watertight

This 40 ft shipping container – Corten steel – wind and watertight offers secure, weatherproof storage for construction sites, warehouses, and residential properties. For example, this container works perfectly for storing tools, equipment, inventory, or furniture. Therefore, you can trust this unit to keep your valuable goods completely dry, even in heavy rain or snow.

Why Choose a Wind and Watertight Container?

Used containers vary significantly in quality and condition. In contrast, this wind and watertight (WWT) container has passed a professional inspection that guarantees dry storage. Consequently, we test the door seals, wall seams, and floor joints to ensure no leaks. Moreover, the Corten steel construction provides natural corrosion resistance that protects the container for decades. Thus, you receive a reliable storage solution without paying for pristine, one-trip condition.

Key Features of This Wind and Watertight Container

The tested weatherproof integrity and Corten steel construction make this container stand out. For instance, the rubber door seals create a continuous barrier against rain, snow, and dust. Similarly, the 28mm marine ply floor (WBP adhesive) resists moisture penetration, preventing delamination in damp conditions. Furthermore, the lockable double doors feature heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, and side) for security. Finally, the 40ft length provides ample space for 25 Euro pallets or 21 standard pallets.

What “Wind and Watertight” Means for You

Wind and watertight (WWT) represents a specific grade of used container quality. For example, we have inspected each container and verified that all door seals remain flexible and intact. Likewise, we have tested the unit to ensure that no rain penetrates the walls, roof, or floor joints. If you need guaranteed dry storage, this WWT grade delivers exactly that. Thus, you can store sensitive items like documents, electronics, or furniture without worry.

Corten Steel – The Weathering Advantage

Corten steel makes this shipping container naturally durable for outdoor use. First, the weathering steel (grade S355J2W) forms a stable, self-protecting rust patina over time. Second, this patina prevents deeper corrosion, unlike standard steel that continues rusting. Third, the steel requires no painting or ongoing maintenance. Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions. Therefore, you can place this container anywhere without worrying about premature rust or structural failure.

CSC Plated – Ready for Intermodal Transport

The CSC plate confirms that this container meets international safety standards. For example, the plate certifies that the container has passed structural tests for stacking, lifting, and floor strength. Likewise, the CSC certification allows legal transport on ships, trains, and trucks. If you need to relocate the container overseas, this certification makes international shipping possible. Thus, you gain the flexibility to use the container for both static storage and transport.

Used Condition – What to Expect

This container has served previous ocean service, which explains the competitive price. For example, typical used 40ft containers exhibit minor dents, surface scratches, faded paint, and previous shipping line markings. Likewise, the door seals remain functional but may show age. If you need a pristine unit for retail display, consider our one-trip or new containers. For ground-based storage, this used WWT condition offers exceptional value.

What’s Included

First, every unit includes the 40ft Corten steel container with wind and watertight certification. Second, the CSC safety plate comes affixed and valid. Third, the 28mm marine ply floor is fitted. Fourth, lockable double doors with heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, side) and padlock hasps complete the package. Finally, forklift pockets (4) and crane lugs allow easy repositioning.

For instance, you can add a factory-fitted lockbox for enhanced padlock security. Likewise, you can add a timber or concrete base kit for level installation. Furthermore, a full repainting service is available in any RAL colour. Contact our team for bulk orders of 5+ units.
