Used Shipping Containers For Sale
Inspected used containers from $919 — wind- and watertight and cargo-worthy grades in 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and high cube, delivered in 7–10 business days.
Used containers are where the value is. A box with 8–12 years of ocean service behind it still has decades of structural life left, and it costs a fraction of a new one — the only real difference is cosmetic. That's why used units make up most of what leaves our yard.
We buy from depots across the country, then grade every unit ourselves before it's listed: roof, floor, seals, doors, corner castings and panels. Units are sold by container number with condition photos, so nothing about the box you receive is a surprise.

Specifications & what you get
Our inspection
Daylight test on walls and roof, floor soundness check, door and gasket seal test, corner casting and rail inspection, plus a photographic record filed against the container number.
Grading you can trust
Wind and watertight for storage, cargo-worthy for transport. If a unit arrives below the grade sold, we repair or replace it — the grading is the guarantee.
Where the savings are
A used 40ft can be over $1,300 cheaper than a one-trip equivalent. For storage, workshops and rough-use builds the steel performs identically.
Delivery included in the quote
Tilt-bed placement anywhere in the lower 48, quoted alongside the container so the number you approve is the number you pay.
