Used Containers
Used units have been retired from shipping after 15-20 years at sea (sometimes longer).
Used containers are an economical solution for static storage. They have fully functioning doors and intact floors, and can be re-certified for international shipping at an additional cost.
New Containers
Containers that have only shipped one single load of dry cargo to the U.S.
40ft one-trip containers are built to last decades, with no upfront maintenance/painting required. They are ideal for tiny home/office projects or placement in highly visible areas.

Love our new storage container! The process was easy and there was no surprises or hidden obstacles
The containers were in really great shape... Nice hard work floors! Thanks!
The unit was clean and just what I wanted. I will purchase another one before long.
For a used Container it is in great shape, the floors are in great shape as well.
The unit is actually MUCH nicer than I expected. The interior looks like it had just been refinished
[Requires] only cosmetic maintenance, and has proven weathertight...
