10ft container dimensions
A used 10ft is the same size as a new one. You are just paying less because it has some wear on it. We carry both standard height and high cube 10ft units.

What you get at each used grade
When you get prices from other sellers, please ask what grade they are quoting so you are comparing the same thing.
Cargo worthy (CW)
These units are still certified for shipping. The frame and floor are good and the doors close tight. You will see some dents and faded paint.
Wind & water tight (WWT)
Not certified for shipping anymore, but it keeps the rain and wind out. It will look rougher than CW. If you just need to keep your things dry, this is the best price.
Before any unit leaves our hands
We check that the roof does not leak, the floor has no holes, the doors close and seal, and there is no rust in the frame. If it does not pass, we do not deliver it.
Availability
10ft units are not a standard shipping size, so we usually have fewer used ones than 20ft or 40ft. Please send us your ZIP and when you need it, and we will let you know what we have.
Some of our used 10ft units
We can send you photos of the exact unit before you pay, just ask.
How customers use a used 10ft
Backyard storage on a budget
Keeps tools and garden equipment dry and locked up, for less than a new one.
Job-site tool crib
Nobody worries about a few scratches on a used unit. Easy to place on tight urban sites.
Ranch and agricultural storage
Feed, tack and machinery out of the weather and away from rodents.
A base for modification
If you are going to cut, paint or cover it anyway, there is no reason to pay for a new one. If you would rather have it painted first, we also have refurbished units.

Real reviews from our Google Business Profile & Facebook. Read our Google reviews →
On the way back from picking up parts we finally stopped by since we drive past it a lot. Solid spot — the guy working was super helpful and got us in and out quick with the container we needed. Prices seemed fair compared to what everyone else charges online.
A Google UserWorked over a weekend to get us a modified shipping container ahead of schedule at a reasonable price. This company is the best!
