Why Buy a Used 20ft Shipping Container

A used 20ft shipping container is the right call when you need dry, secure, lockable storage and don’t need cargo-certified structural integrity — which is a real cost driver you shouldn’t pay for if you’re never putting this container back into freight service. Common uses include:

• Backyard and residential storage for tools, equipment, and seasonal items
• Job-site storage where budget matters more than cargo certification
• Farm and ranch equipment storage
• Low-cost base structure for simple conversion projects
• Temporary storage during moves, renovations, or construction

Wind & Watertight vs. Cargo-Worthy: What’s the Real Difference

Both grades mean the container keeps water and weather out. The difference is certification depth: a Cargo-Worthy container has passed formal structural inspection against CSC standards and is certified for continued international cargo transport. A Wind and Watertight container is functionally sound and sealed against the elements, but hasn’t been put through — or hasn’t passed — that full cargo-certification process. For ground storage use, this distinction rarely matters in practice; you’re simply paying less for a container that does the same storage job. If you want the added certification anyway (for resale value or future freight use), see our Cargo-Worthy 20ft container option instead. For the full breakdown of every condition grade, read our container grading guide.

Delivery & Lead Time

We deliver 20ft containers nationwide via tilt-bed and roll-off trucking — this is one of our highest-availability sizes with fast average dispatch. A 20ft unit typically needs about 60ft of straight clearance for tilt-bed delivery. Contact us for a delivery quote to your zip code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Wind & Watertight container actually watertight?

Yes — “Wind and Watertight” specifically means the unit has been checked and confirmed to keep out rain, wind, and moisture. It’s a functional weatherproofing standard, distinct from the structural cargo-certification standard used for Cargo-Worthy grading.

Can I use this container for shipping cargo overseas?

Not recommended without upgrading certification. If you need a container for actual international freight use, choose our Cargo-Worthy option instead, which carries the required CSC certification.

Can this container be modified for storage use?

Yes. Popular additions include shelving, ventilation, lighting, and additional locking hardware. See our container modification services for options.
