-
Export-Ready | Structurally Sound | Fully Sealed
These containers meet international shipping standards and are certified for overseas transport. They are wind and watertight, have fully operational doors, seals, and flooring, and are structurally solid. While they may show cosmetic wear (like minor dents or surface rust), they are built to handle heavy loads and multiple trips. -
Perfect for On-Site Storage | Cost-Effective | Functional
These containers are no longer certified for export, but they remain completely sealed against wind and rain—ideal for static storage use. Doors open and close properly, and the floors are intact. Expect visible wear and tear, such as surface rust, scrapes, or small dents, but the container will keep your contents safe and dry. -
Budget Option | Some Repairs May Be Needed | Sold As-Is
These containers are sold in used, untested condition—they may have leaks, damaged floors, or issues with doors and seals. They're best suited for non-sensitive storage, creative projects, or buyers willing to do some repairs. Great for DIYers or if you just need four steel walls and a roof on a tight budget.

Why Choose Used?
-
Spend less, get more.
Used containers offer excellent value—a fraction of the price of new builds, while still providing the strength and security you need for storage, transport, or modification. -
Good for your wallet, better for the planet. By reusing existing containers, you’re helping reduce the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing and shipping new steel. It’s a smart, sustainable choice.
-
Storage today. Workshop tomorrow.
Used containers are a blank canvas. Ideal for on-site storage, pop-up offices, tool sheds, or even custom conversion projects like cafes, studios, or tiny homes. -
No waiting. No headaches.
We keep a wide range of used containers in stock and ready for immediate dispatch from our Woonona depot. Whether you’re in Sydney, the South Coast, or the Riverina—we’ll get it there, fast.
