Looking for serious storage or transport capacity without paying new-build prices? This used 45ft shipping container offers one of the largest floor footprints available in a single unit, making it a popular choice for businesses and individuals who need to “cube out” on space without “weighing out” on budget.
Every used container we sell is inspected before dispatch and, unless otherwise stated, guaranteed wind and watertight. Built from durable Corten steel, these units are engineered to withstand harsh UK weather while keeping stored goods dry, secure, and protected.
– Massive capacity: 45ft length offers one of the largest single-unit footprints on the market
– Corten steel construction: naturally corrosion- and weather-resistant
– Wind and watertight guarantee (unless stated otherwise on the listing)
– 27mm Marine Grade Plywood flooring: rated for heavy and palletised loads
– Factory-fitted lockbox and high-security doors for theft deterrence
– Cost-effective alternative to new-build containers, with the same structural strength
– Minor cosmetic wear expected (dents, previous repairs) — structural integrity is not affected
Nearly all 45ft containers manufactured today are built to High Cube height (9’6″) — true standard-height (8’6″) 45ft units are rare in the market, so most “used 45ft” listings you’ll be competing against are High Cube by default. State this plainly on the page so buyers aren’t confused, and confirm actual specs against the physical unit before listing.

This is a used, cargo-worthy container. Expect normal signs of previous service — minor dents, scuffs, or spot repairs — with full structural soundness and a wind and watertight guarantee unless the listing states otherwise. Photos represent a typical unit; exact condition of the unit supplied may vary slightly. Respray and customisation services (RAL colour of your choice, insulation, shelving, electrics) are available on request.
Delivered nationwide via tilt-bed or flatbed vehicle. Before ordering, please check:
– At least 35–40m of straight, clear access for the delivery vehicle
– Firm, level ground suitable for a 45ft unit (avoid soft grass or mud)
– Sufficient overhead clearance — tilt-bed offloading can require up to 6m of vertical clearance
Yes — every used container we supply is inspected before dispatch and guaranteed wind and watertight unless the individual listing states otherwise.
A used container will show normal signs of previous service (minor dents, scuffs, or spot repairs) but offers the same structural strength and capacity at a significantly lower price than a new-build unit.
This depends on whether it currently holds a valid CSC plate. For UK-based static storage, a CSC plate isn’t required — for international transport, it is. Ask our team to confirm the CSC status of available stock.
