This 20ft dry freight shipping container is the workhorse of Australian storage. “Dry freight” is the industry term for the standard general-purpose box — sealed steel, timber floor, cargo doors at one end — the configuration every other container variant is measured against.
What Wind and Watertight Buys You
WWT units have worked the shipping lines. Expect surface rust, dents, and faded paint — and a guarantee that wind and water stay out. The cosmetics stay outside while the job — dry, locked contents — gets done at hundreds under one-trip pricing.

Applications
Farm and rural storage takes most of these units — feed, tools, and machinery spares behind steel. Renovation overflow fills the rest: a whole household fits while the build runs. Trades run them as lockable stock rooms on long jobs. Surface wear does nothing to a Cor-Ten shell’s job of keeping weather and thieves out.
