20ft Used Standard Shipping Container — Wind & Watertight, COR-TEN Steel (Used)

This 20ft used shipping container is the smallest footprint in JK Shipping’s standard container range, sized to fit a normal residential driveway, backyard lot, or tight commercial corner where a longer unit simply won’t sit. Sold in Wind and Watertight (WWT) condition, it is structurally sound and fully weatherproof, offering 1,172 cu ft of secure, lockable dry storage the moment it’s set down. It has not been formally re-certified for international shipping and does not carry a valid CSC plate — this unit is built and priced for on-site storage, not freight service.

Because it needs the smallest delivery footprint of any standard unit we sell, a 20ft container is usually the easiest size to site on residential and space-constrained lots — no long level run, no wide gate, and no need to clear a path for a 40ft trailer. For buyers without acres of hardstanding to offer a delivery truck, it’s the most straightforward unit in the range to land and put to work.

Expect normal service wear from prior shipping use — minor dents, surface marks, and paint weathering — with the unit structurally intact and ready for immediate storage use. Construction is COR-TEN weathering steel throughout the frame, cladding, and corner castings, developing a stable oxide layer that resists further corrosion outdoors without repainting. The floor is 28mm marine-grade plywood on steel cross-members, and both cargo doors close with two locking bars each. Built-in vents provide passive airflow to reduce condensation during storage.

An optional rub-down and RAL respray is available at additional cost — specify your RAL color at time of order. For guidance on container siting and permit requirements in the USA, refer to the International Code Council building standards reference.
