Used 30ft Cut Down Container

Container specifications

Although pre-used, these containers still uphold their structural strength and performance. Constructed from hard-wearing, corrosion-resistant Corten Steel, these containers ensure durability even in tough weather conditions. The flooring is constructed from 27mm thick Marine Grade Plywood, offering a solid base for your stored goods.

Having been retired from their initial fleet, they might bear signs of usage, such as dents or past repairs. However, each container is guaranteed to be sturdy, secure, and wind and watertight, unless otherwise specified.

For enhanced security, each container is equipped with high-security steel doors and a factory-fitted lockbox, providing an additional safeguard against unauthorised access and theft. Practical features such as forklift pockets, multiple lashing points, and air vents are also present, ensuring ease of handling, secure load anchorage, and ample ventilation, respectively.

These containers are typically available in either green (RAL6007) or blue (RAL 5010 or RAL5013). However, we provide a respraying service in any RAL colour you desire and tailor the aesthetics to your preferences.
