40FT Preloved Shipping Container – Wind & Watertight

Description Product Description Shipping containers are utilized for a variety of storage and modification purposes. A pre-owned 40-foot shipping container is presented here, graded to a wind and watertight standard. This unit offers a substantial enclosed space, suitable for secure material storage, job site organization, or as a base for conversion projects. It has been inspected to ensure the structure maintains its integrity against the elements. Key Features Wind and Watertight Grade: This container has been evaluated to ensure the doors seal properly and the structure is free from large holes or significant gaps, preventing ingress from rain and wind. Solid Steel Construction: Manufactured from COR-TEN steel, this unit is designed to withstand stacking and heavy loads. The steel construction provides a robust shell for securing contents. Standard Double-Swing Doors: One end features lockable double doors with integrated locking bars, allowing for wide access to the interior for loading and unloading. Cargo-Ready Flooring: The interior floor is fitted with original marine-grade plywood, which is designed to support the weight of palletized cargo and heavy equipment. Weather-Resistant Exterior: The container retains its original weather-resistant paint. Surface rust and cosmetic dents, typical for pre-used equipment, are present but do not compromise the structure’s wind and watertight integrity. Detailed Description This 40-foot shipping container is a pre-used unit, classified as wind and watertight (WWT). It serves as a practical solution for on-site storage, overflow inventory warehousing, or as a secure enclosure in industrial settings. The container is constructed from weathering steel, commonly known as COR-TEN, which develops a protective patina over time. This patina reduces the need for constant repainting in outdoor environments. Access to the interior is provided through the rear double doors. These doors are equipped with steel locking bars and forged steel ratchets, which pull the doors tightly closed against the integrated rubber gaskets. When properly sealed, these components work together to create the wind and watertight environment. Internally, the container features a plywood floor laid over a steel cross-member substructure. This floor is capable of supporting concentrated loads, such as forklifts or loaded pallets, when loading from ground level. The interior walls and ceiling are the bare corrugated steel, offering tie-down points within the grooves. It should be noted that this unit is being sold in “as-is” used condition. It will show signs of previous service life, including scratches, dents, and surface rust. It does not, however, have holes that allow daylight through the walls, roof, or floor. The wind and watertight classification is strictly limited to resistance against driven rain and normal air infiltration; it is not designed for submersion or pressurized water exposure.
