Used 40ft High Cube Container – Wind & Watertight

Used 40ft High Cube Container – Wind & Watertight, Ready to Ship

Looking for maximum storage or transport capacity without paying new prices? This used 40ft High Cube container gives you a full extra foot of internal headroom compared to a standard-height 40ft unit — ideal for bulky cargo, high-volume storage, or container conversion projects.

Every used high cube container we sell is inspected before dispatch to confirm it is wind and watertight, meaning it’s fully weatherproof and ready for immediate use, whether that’s secure site storage or onward transport.

Condition & What to Expect

• Inspected and confirmed wind and watertight before dispatch
• Structurally sound Corten steel shell, resistant to corrosion
• Lockable cargo doors with working locking bars
• Marine-grade plywood flooring, rated for forklift and pallet loading
• Stackable corner castings for safe stacking where required

As a used container, some cosmetic wear (surface rust, marks, or repainting) should be expected. This does not affect structural integrity or weatherproofing. Photos of the actual unit are available on request before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “wind and watertight” mean? It means the container has been inspected and confirmed to have no gaps, holes, or damage that would let in wind or water — making it fully weatherproof for storage use, even if there is some cosmetic wear.

Is this container suitable for shipping as well as storage? Wind and watertight containers are primarily sold for storage and conversion use. If you need a container certified for international freight (with a valid CSC plate), let us know and we can advise on cargo-worthy stock.

What’s the difference between “used” and “one-trip” containers? “Used” containers have typically completed several years of active service and may show more cosmetic wear. “One-trip” containers have only made a single journey from the factory and look close to new. We stock both — see our full range of high cube containers to compare.
