Key Features

Quality Used Shipping Containers

Each container is a genuine used shipping container sourced from established shipping lines. As previously used equipment, individual units may show normal signs of service, including dents, scratches, or cosmetic paint wear.

However, containers are inspected to ensure they are suitable for secure storage and meet the required condition for continued use.

If you’re comparing options for a 20ft used shipping container for sale, you can confirm the condition of the specific available unit before purchase.

Wind and Watertight Protection

These used 20ft containers are supplied wind and watertight, helping protect stored goods from rain, wind, and normal outdoor exposure when the container is properly closed and maintained.

This makes them suitable for outdoor storage where protection from changing weather conditions is important.

Durable Cor-Ten Steel Construction

The container is manufactured from Cor-Ten steel, providing a strong and durable structure designed for demanding shipping and storage environments.

This robust construction makes the container suitable for commercial storage, construction sites, agricultural applications, warehouses, and general outdoor storage.

Secure Double Cargo Doors

The rear cargo doors feature two locking bars per door, providing a secure closure for the contents of the container.

The standard 20ft configuration also provides convenient access for loading and unloading equipment, tools, stock, and materials.

28mm Marine Plywood Flooring

A 28mm marine plywood floor, supported by steel cross members, provides a strong and durable foundation inside the container.

The floor is suitable for a wide range of storage applications, including tools, equipment, machinery, materials, and commercial inventory.

Built-In Ventilation

Built-in ventilation openings promote airflow through the container, helping reduce moisture and condensation.

Good airflow can be particularly useful when goods are stored for extended periods, although the appropriate storage conditions will depend on the type of goods and the surrounding environment.

Ideal Uses

A 20ft used shipping container can provide additional storage space without the higher cost associated with purchasing a new container. It can be used for:

• Construction site storage
• Tools and equipment
• Business inventory
• Warehouse overflow
• Agricultural equipment and supplies
• Machinery and materials
• Personal storage
• Workshop storage
• Retail stock
• General outdoor storage

The 20ft format offers a useful balance between storage capacity and footprint, making it suitable for many commercial and private sites.

An Affordable Alternative to a New Container

Choosing a used container can be a cost-effective way to gain secure storage space while still benefiting from the durable construction of a standard shipping container.

A 20ft used shipping container for sale can be particularly useful for customers who need dependable storage but do not require a brand-new unit.

Instead of paying for a new container, you can choose a previously used unit that has been inspected and prepared for continued storage use.

Optional Refurbishment and Customisation

For customers who want a cleaner or more customised appearance, refurbishment options may be available.

These can include rubbing down and respraying the container in your preferred RAL colour. A respray can help improve the appearance of the container or allow it to match your company’s branding, site colours, or existing buildings.

Additional charges may apply for refurbishment and customisation.

What to Expect From a Used Container

Because these are genuine second-hand shipping containers, some cosmetic signs of previous use are normal. Depending on the individual unit, you may see dents, scratches, paint variation, or other exterior marks.

The main purpose is to provide a structurally suitable and wind and watertight storage solution. If appearance is important for your application, refurbishment and repainting can provide a more finished look.

Buying a shipping container: what to check

A shipping container is bought on its grade, its doors and its size. One-trip containers have made a single voyage and are close to new; cargo-worthy units are certified fit for sea freight; wind and watertight units have a sound roof, floor and doors, with the cosmetic rust and dents that are normal for that grade. Standard containers are 8ft 6in high and high cubes add a foot, which matters for racking, shelving and conversions. Decide which doors you need (cargo doors, roll-up doors or full side access), then plan the ground: firm, level gravel or concrete pads, and a clear straight run for the tilt-bed truck, roughly 60 feet for a 20ft unit and 100 feet for a 40ft.

Convex Containers is based in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, in the Tulsa area, and sells shipping containers, refrigerated containers, container pools, portable cabins, flat pack buildings and trailers to buyers across the United States.
