  • Interior Dimensions: 19 ft 4 in L × 7 ft 8 in W × 7 ft 10 in H
  • Volume: ~1,165 ft³

Condition & Construction

  • Authentic Wear: Exterior finishes may exhibit surface rust, paint chips, dents, or old shipping logos—each unit carries its own story.
  • Wind- & Watertight: Factory-installed door seals and intact sidewalls keep out moisture and drafts, ensuring your contents stay dry.
  • No Structural Holes: Every container is inspected to confirm the steel shell is fully intact.
  • Sturdy Wooden Floor: Marine-grade plywood remains in solid condition, ready to support equipment, shelving, or living-space fit-outs.

Core Features

  • Standard Height Profile: At 8 ft 6 in exterior height, it accommodates most storage racks, workbenches, or interior partitions without extra clearance.
  • Secure Double Doors: Full-width swing doors with reinforced locking bars and a padlock-ready hasp provide quick access and strong security.
  • Steel Shell: Durable steel walls stand up to outdoor exposure; surface imperfections are purely cosmetic.
  • Ready for Retrofit: Offered “as-is” in its current color (which may vary), it’s easily modified with windows, personnel doors, insulation, electrical wiring, or shelving systems.

Ideal Uses

  • Cost-Effective Storage: Keep tools, parts, or inventory safe without the premium of a new unit.
  • Compact Workshops: Set up a secure work area for light fabrication, maintenance, or repairs.
  • Tiny Homes & Studios: Convert into backyard offices, hobby rooms, or guest suites with insulation and utilities.
  • Pop-Up Retail & Exhibitions: Create eye-catching kiosks, market stalls, or display booths on a budget.
  • Site Facilities: Deploy break rooms, first-aid stations, or equipment shelters at construction or event sites.

Reliable Containers Quality Guarantee

At Reliable Containers, we stand behind the durability and performance of every unit we sell. Every container is inspected by qualified professionals to ensure it meets our strict quality standards before it reaches your location.

As part of our standard Quality Guarantee, you will have the opportunity to review and inspect your container at delivery together with the truck driver. A simple Quality Inspection Form is completed on-site to confirm the unit meets expectations.

If any issues arise that fall within our Quality Guarantee, we will arrange repairs at no cost to you. Our goal is to make your buying experience simple, transparent, and worry-free.

All containers meet the following criteria:

  • ISO-certified construction
  • Wind and watertight
  • Equipped with solid marine-grade wooden flooring

Prepare for a Smooth Delivery

To help ensure a fast and hassle-free delivery, please review the following requirements before your container arrives:

Accessible delivery location

The truck must have a clear path with at least 4 metres of width to safely reach your drop-off point.

Firm Ground

The delivery area should have solid, compact ground to support both the truck and container.

Flat Surface

Because containers are delivered using a tilt-bed system, the drop-off point must be level. Deliveries cannot be made on steep or uneven inclines.

Free From Obstruction

Make sure there is open space in front of the container, approximately three times the container’s length, so the truck can pull forward and exit after unloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the delivery lead time?

Our average delivery timeframe is 3–5 business days from the moment your order is placed and payment has been received by our bank.

A wind and watertight (WWT) container has:

  • No holes, cracks, or structural openings
  • A solid, intact floor
  • Door seals tight enough to keep out wind and rain

A simple test: if you stand inside the container with the doors closed, you should not see any daylight. Choosing a WWT unit is important to ensure your stored items remain protected from the elements.

Used Containers:
Color selection is not available for used containers. Units are stored in large depots in high stacks, and containers are pulled based on availability—not by color.

New (One-Trip) Containers:
For new containers, you may request a preferred color based on our current inventory. Availability varies, but we will do our best to match your preference with what we have in stock.

Shipping containers are built with marine-grade plywood flooring supported by:

  • Steel cross members
  • Reinforced wooden joists
  • Treated, durable plywood sheets

This combination provides strength, moisture resistance, and long-lasting performance.
