45ft Shipping Container – Used, Red 14-Gauge Corten

What a 45ft Shipping Container for Sale Adds to a Working Site

Length is the whole argument for this unit. A 45ft shipping container for sale gives you five more feet of floor than a 40-footer and better than twice the run of a 20ft box, which matters the moment you store pipe, trusses, conveyor sections, or anything else that arrives long and awkward. The red paint is a factory finish over weathering steel.

Because it is sold used, it is priced as a used container. Expect honest service marks: scuffs across the side panels, patina around the corner castings, the odd dent in the roof sheet. What you should not expect is anything that compromises the shell — door gear, gaskets, and flooring are checked before dispatch.

Where a Used 45ft High Cube Container Earns Its Keep

The extra length changes how you organize the interior. Most buyers run shelving down one wall and keep a clear aisle on the other, turning the box into a walk-in stockroom rather than a pile you dig through. The high cube roof line also leaves room for a third shelf tier.

• Long-material storage for fabricators, roofers, and pipe crews
• Seasonal equipment lockup at marinas, golf courses, and campgrounds
• Overflow inventory behind a warehouse that has run out of racking
• Parts and consumables storage at agricultural and quarry operations
• A staging box for a build-out, later converted to a workshop

Siting and Delivery Planning for a 45ft Unit

Plan the approach before you plan the pad. A tilt-bed truck needs the container length plus roughly 40 feet of straight, firm ground to set down cleanly, along with about 15 feet of overhead clearance. Set the four corners on concrete blocks or crushed stone so the frame sits level and water drains away rather than pooling under the floor. If the footprint is tighter than you thought, browse the shorter options in our 45ft container inventory or step down a size through the storage container range. Delivery is a flat $500 to any of the 50 states, scheduled once your order is confirmed and quoted by route. Full measurements are on the container dimensions reference, and comparable graded units sit in the used container listings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a 45ft container fit on a standard residential lot?

Often, but not always. The box itself is 45 feet long; the delivery truck needs considerably more room than that to maneuver and tilt. Measure your gate width, driveway turning radius, and any overhead obstructions first. If the numbers are tight, a 20ft or 40ft unit usually solves the same storage problem with far less access drama.

What does the red paint tell me about the container's condition?

Not much on its own. Container paint is applied at the factory and reflects the original operator, not the grade. Judge the unit by its stated condition, the state of the door seals, and the floor. If you want a uniform look for a customer-facing site, the shell takes a fresh coat of industrial enamel well once the surface is prepped.

Can I return the container if it does not suit my site?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Returns are handled on a buyer-paid haulage basis, meaning you arrange and cover transport back to us, and a 15% restocking fee applies to the unit price. Because return freight on a 45-footer is not trivial, it is worth confirming access and site prep before you order.
