20ft Used Shipping Container — AS IS
A 20ft used shipping container as is (gray), sold as is at a discounted price. This unit is structurally sound with a solid Corten steel body. However, the door seals allow light penetration and therefore this container is not sold as Wind & Watertight.
Furthermore, the door seal condition makes this unit best suited to applications where a perfect weatherproof seal is not required. As a result, it suits buyers who need secure, low-cost storage and are comfortable managing the seal condition themselves.

Important — What AS IS Means
This container is sold in its current condition with no repairs or upgrades prior to sale. Specifically:
- The door seals allow light penetration — moisture ingress is possible in heavy rain
- This container is not graded Wind & Watertight and is not warranted as such
- The steel body and floor are structurally sound — the unit is not damaged or compromised beyond the seal condition
- Door seals are a standard maintenance item — replaceable by a qualified container repairer if a weatherproof grade is required post-purchase
Therefore, inspect the unit or request photos before purchase if the seal condition is a deciding factor for your application.
Suitable Applications for an AS IS Container
Undercover or Sheltered Storage
This container suits storage under a roof, awning, or existing structure. Furthermore, in a sheltered position the door seal condition has minimal practical impact on stored goods.
Dry Goods and Non-Moisture-Sensitive Materials
Steel, machinery, timber (when covered), equipment, and tools store adequately in an AS IS container. Moreover, buyers often manage moisture risk with simple desiccant packs or internal lining.
Construction Site Secure Storage
The locking mechanism is fully functional. As a result, this unit provides secure, low-cost tool and equipment storage on site where a perfect seal is not critical.
Container Conversion Base Unit
Many conversion projects — workshops, cabins, and pop-up spaces — replace door seals as part of the fit-out. Additionally, buyers building insulated interiors often reseal or replace doors entirely. This AS IS unit therefore represents strong value as a conversion base. Explore our modified container range for conversion-ready options.
