Buying used shipping containers.
Used shipping containers are heavy-duty steel units originally designed for transporting goods by sea, rail, or truck. Built by major shipping companies, these containers typically serve in global cargo transport for 10 to 14 years before being retired from active duty. Once removed from circulation, they are sold to storage specialists like SBL Container GmbH and repurposed for portable storage. Despite previous use, these containers maintain their robust structural integrity, secure locking systems, and high load capacity—making them a practical and reliable solution for on-site or mobile storage needs.
Wind and Water tight/ Cargo worthy
Used shipping containers for sale are durable, watertight, and secure, with no major damage and fully functional components. In the container industry, they are generally classified into two grades: wind & water tight (WWT) and cargo worthy (CW). Every container we offer undergoes a thorough 12-point inspection to confirm it is wind and water tight, has operational steel doors, and a structurally sound floor. Cargo worthy containers meet the international CSC (Container Safety Convention) standards and are approved for continued transport by sea, rail, or road. Please note that minor dents, surface rust, and signs of previous use are normal for all used containers.
