45ft Used High Cube Shipping Container — Wind & Watertight, Expired CSC (Ref 2561)
A 45ft used HC container expired CSC in Wind & Watertight structural condition. Cor-Ten steel body, marine plywood floor, weatherproof door seals — sound structure, secure lockable doors, ready for static site storage. The CSC plate on this unit has expired, so the container is not certified for active international freight movements. Suited to buyers who need maximum single-unit dry storage on a permanent site placement — farm, rural property, construction yard, industrial storage — at a lower price point than a Cargo Worthy or one-trip equivalent. Built to ISO 668 Series 1 dimensional standards.
Important — CSC Status
The CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) plate on this container has expired. Practical implications:
- Not accepted at ports or on vessels — cannot be used for active international shipping
- Cannot be resold into the shipping supply chain without CSC re-certification
- Safe and legal for static site storage — expired CSC does not affect structural integrity or weatherproofing for stationary use
- Lifting and crane placement remain safe — corner castings and structure are sound
- Priced below Cargo Worthy variants — trade the CSC certification for a lower purchase cost
If you need CSC certification for export, shipping, or resale purposes, see the Cargo Worthy variants in the 45ft range.

Condition Notes — Honest Disclosure
The unit is used ex-shipping-line stock. Expect surface rust, dents, scrapes, and faded paint carrying the previous shipping line’s livery. These are normal after years of ocean service and do not affect the container’s ability to keep dry stored goods secure. Photos in this listing are representative of stock condition — the specific unit shipped will match this grade but exact appearance (paint colour, wear pattern, dent location) varies. Contact us for photos of a specific unit before order confirmation if required.
Applications — Static Storage Only
- Farm and rural storage — machinery, feed, tools, harvest overflow
- Construction yard equipment and materials storage
- Warehouse overflow — long-term dry stock storage
- Industrial and manufacturing yard storage
- Modification base for site office, workshop, or specialty container builds where CSC certification is not required
Delivery — Direct Ship Option Available
Delivery from our Lowood QLD depot Australia-wide by tilt-tray or side-loader truck. Where a container depot in the buyer’s area holds stock, direct-ship delivery is available — the container ships directly from that depot instead of transiting via Lowood, which reduces total transport cost. Contact us with your delivery postcode for options.
