20ft Used Shipping Container — Wind & Watertight
A field-tested, structurally sound storage solution at a fraction of the cost of a new unit. This 20ft used shipping container is graded Wind & Watertight (WWT) — every unit passes a weatherproof inspection before sale.
Furthermore, the corrugated Corten steel construction resists rust, corrosion, and forced entry. As a result, it protects bricks, tools, equipment, and stock on construction sites, farms, and commercial properties.
