20ft Used Storage Container – Lockable Steel

This used 20-foot storage shipping container is a practical answer for secure on-site storage. Made from weathering steel (COR-TEN), it has been retired from active shipping service after roughly 15-20 years of use. It stays fully weatherproof with working doors and flooring, suiting it to static storage in commercial and industrial settings. The container is classified under ISO code 22G1 as a general-purpose dry container.

Key Features

• Weather-resistant steel construction with corrugated walls for added structural rigidity.
• Standardized ISO dimensions compliant with global shipping specifications.
• Double-door access with reinforced locking, including twist locks and padlock loops.
• Forklift pockets at the base for easy handling and repositioning.
• Stackable design that supports multiple containers when properly positioned.
• Ventilation ports placed to reduce condensation for humidity-sensitive contents.

The used 20ft container is a durable, adaptable storage asset for businesses that need extra secure space. Built from specially hardened weather-resistant steel, these units were originally designed to endure harsh maritime environments during international cargo transport. Corrugated walls add significant structural integrity, helping the container keep its shape even under demanding conditions.

Although removed from active shipping service, the unit retains its core weatherproof qualities. It is wind and water-resistant (WWT certified), keeping contents protected from the elements during outdoor storage. The double doors at one end open for full-width access to the interior, and the integrated locks help guard against unauthorized entry.

Corner castings allow secure crane lifting, while integrated base pockets allow forklift handling, making it easy to position the unit wherever you need it, whether for temporary project sites or permanent installation.

As a used unit, it shows typical cosmetic wear such as surface scuffs, minor dents, and paint variation consistent with prior service. None of this affects the structural integrity or weather resistance. The floor remains functional and the doors operate properly.

This used 20ft container fits many uses. For storage, it provides secure on-site space for equipment, tools, raw materials, or finished goods, and is especially effective at construction sites, agricultural operations, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses needing extra capacity. For static commercial use, it can serve as a temporary or permanent structure for workshops, material containment, or site offices when suitably modified. For cargo transport, it handles overland movement of dry, non-perishable goods by truck or rail when mounted on appropriate chassis equipment. For inventory management, it is ideal as secure overflow storage for seasonal stock or equipment that does not need climate control. And for project sites, it offers secure material storage during construction, renovation, or event management.
