40ft Used Cargo-Worthy Dry Van Shipping Container
The 40ft Used Cargo-Worthy Dry Van Shipping Container is the standard, economical workhorse of global freight and commercial storage. Inspected and certified as Cargo-Worthy (CW), these pre-owned units meet strict international marine standards and come equipped with an active or re-certifiable CSC plate, making them fully eligible for overseas ocean export, intermodal rail freight, or heavy-duty site storage.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, this container protects your equipment and inventory against severe weather, vermin, and unauthorized access. While pre-owned containers exhibit cosmetic signs of previous intermodal service—such as exterior surface rust, minor panel dents, and varied shipping line paint schemes—each unit is guaranteed to be structurally sound, wind and watertight, with smooth-operating double rear doors, intact rubber gaskets, and a solid 28mm marine plywood floor.
