 Condition & Grading

This unit is supplied used, cargo-worthy grade — meaning it is structurally sound, wind and watertight, and fit for storage or transport, but will show cosmetic wear such as surface rust, dents, or faded paint consistent with prior use. If you require a cosmetically newer unit, see our one-trip and new-grade 45ft options below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a used 45ft container watertight?

Yes — every unit we sell is inspected and confirmed wind and watertight before dispatch, regardless of grade.

What’s the difference between this and your other 45ft containers?

This is our used, standard-height, budget option. We also stock newer one-trip units and high cube (extra headroom) variants — see the links above to compare.

Can I use a used 45ft container for international shipping?

Only if it holds a valid CSC plate. For domestic storage or UK transport, a CSC plate is not required.
