40ft Self Storage Container – Used, Lock Box Secured

This 40 ft shipping container is a practical, durable solution for a range of storage and site needs. Made from corrosion-resistant steel, it provides a weathertight environment to protect equipment, inventory or materials. As a one-trip container, it has carried a single international shipment and offers a high-quality option for static storage or modification projects.

Key Features

• One-trip condition: Having completed only one ocean voyage, it is in near-new condition with minimal superficial wear such as light scratches or small dents from that initial journey.
• Spacious interior: With around 300 square feet of floor space and 2,385 cubic feet of internal volume, it holds large quantities of goods, from retail inventory and construction materials to household items during a move.
• Durable construction: Built from COR-TEN steel, it is weather-resistant and robust, keeping contents protected from the elements.
• Secure door system: The doors seal securely and feature integrated lock boxes on the handles for customer-supplied padlocks and basic security.
• Ventilation: Passive vents are typically included to allow airflow and help reduce condensation inside.

The 40 ft one-trip shipping container is a versatile structure used mainly for on-site storage and as a base for various conversion projects. Its one-trip classification sets it apart from standard used containers: on arrival in the United States it carried a single load of dry cargo and was then retired from active shipping, making it available for sale.

Externally, it may show some cosmetic blemishes from its sole voyage, such as minor scuffs or paint marks from transport, but its structural integrity is fully intact. The floors, walls and door gaskets are fully preserved with no holes or leaks. Forklift scratches on the interior floor are considered acceptable, as they occur during standard loading and unloading of cargo.

The unit acts as a blank slate for many applications. It works well as secure storage for job sites, farms or commercial properties, and for those building, it is frequently used as the primary structure for workshops, temporary offices or even residential dwellings such as tiny homes. Its standardised dimensions also allow future stacking or relocation if requirements change.

Technical specifications: the condition is one-trip (CSC plate equipped, minimal prior use) and the material is COR-TEN weathering steel. External dimensions (L x W x H) are 40 ft x 8 ft x 8 ft 6 in, with internal dimensions of 39 ft 5 in x 7 ft 8 in x 7 ft 10 in. The internal floor area is approximately 300 sq ft and the internal volume is approximately 2,385 cu ft. Tare weight (empty) is approximately 8,000 lb, and maximum payload capacity is approximately 44,000 lb when used for transport, with static storage capacity being floor-dependent. The door opening (W x H) is 7 ft 8 in x 7 ft 5 in, and interior features include plywood flooring, corner castings for lifting and securing, and integrated lock boxes.

This container suits on-site storage (secure storage of construction materials, contractor tools and heavy equipment), retail and inventory (weather-protected warehousing for retail stock, documents or archived materials), residential and commercial moving (a portable way to hold household furniture and belongings during relocation or renovation), and conversion projects (a structurally sound base for workshops, studios or habitable spaces).

The package includes one 40 ft one-trip shipping container, a standard door with integrated lock box, and a CSC plate certifying it met shipping safety standards upon entry to the U.S.
