This used 40ft shipping container – clean condition offers secure, weatherproof storage for construction sites, warehouses, and residential properties. Unlike standard used containers that show significant cosmetic wear, we select and clean this unit to a higher standard. For example, you can store tools, equipment, inventory, or furniture inside this rugged steel container. Therefore, this unit provides the perfect balance of durability, capacity, and value for most storage applications.

Why Choose a Clean Condition Container?

Standard used containers often feature heavy rust, prominent dents, and years of shipping line graffiti. In contrast, this clean condition container has been hand-selected from our stock for its superior appearance. Consequently, we professionally wash each unit to remove dirt, grime, and loose paint. Moreover, we inspect and test the door seals and locking mechanisms before dispatch . Thus, you gain a better-looking container without paying one-trip prices.

Key Features of This Clean Container

The wind and watertight certification and Corten steel construction make this container stand out. For instance, the 1.6-2.0mm corrugated Corten steel walls provide exceptional strength that resists vandalism and forced entry. Similarly, the rubber door seals and welded seams prevent rain, snow, dust, and pests from entering your stored goods. Furthermore, the CSC safety plate confirms structural integrity for intermodal shipping if you ever need to relocate . Finally, the lockable double doors feature heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, and side) for security.

Clean Condition – What to Expect

A clean condition container looks significantly better than standard used units. For example, we select containers with minimal dents and surface rust. Likewise, we pressure wash each unit to remove dirt, mud, and shipping line markings . Furthermore, we inspect and lubricate the door hinges and locking mechanisms. If you need a container for customer-facing applications without paying one-trip prices, this clean condition grade offers the perfect middle ground.

Wind and Watertight Certification – Guaranteed Dry

Wind and watertight (WWT) represents a quality grade we verify before delivery. First, we inspect each container and confirm that all door seals remain flexible and intact. Second, we test the unit to ensure that rain cannot penetrate the walls, roof, or floor joints. Third, we verify that the doors close properly and lock securely. If you need guaranteed dry storage for sensitive items, this WWT grade delivers exactly that – your contents stay completely dry even in heavy rain or snow.

Corten Steel Construction – Built to Last

Corten steel makes this container exceptionally durable for outdoor use anywhere. 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 through . Third, the steel requires no painting or ongoing maintenance under normal conditions. Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions. Therefore, you can place this container anywhere without worrying about premature rust.

CSC Plated – Ready for Transport Anywhere

The CSC plate confirms that this container meets international safety standards for shipping. 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 across international borders. If you need to relocate the container overseas for a project, this certification makes international shipping possible . Thus, you gain complete flexibility for both static storage and transport.

40ft Dimensions – Spacious Capacity

The 40ft length provides substantial storage space for larger requirements. For example, the internal length of approximately 39ft 5in accommodates 25 Euro pallets. Likewise, the internal width of approximately 7ft 8in-7ft 9in allows comfortable forklift access. Furthermore, the 28mm marine ply floor supports loads up to 26,000 kg evenly distributed. If you need generous storage space for warehouse overflow or large equipment, this 40ft container delivers the perfect solution.

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 pre-fitted. Fourth, lockable double doors with heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, side) and padlock hasps complete the package. Finally, forklift pockets (4) 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.
