Conditions of Used Shipping Containers in Ohio and Indiana

The cost spectrum here can vary dramatically—from as low as fifteen hundred dollars up to five thousand dollars based on condition alone. The Institute of International Container Lessors standards help gauge which pre-used boxes still stand strong against nature’s forces like wind & water tightness or being cargo worthy.

One Trip vs Cargo Worthy vs Wind & Water Tight (WWT) vs Last In Line

One Trip

'One Trip' means nearly new, while 'Cargo Worthy' (CW) and 'Wind & Water Tight' (WWT) options offer savings with more wear. Choose based on your needs—be it a trendy tiny home or sturdy storage without busting your budget.

A ‘One Trip’ shipping container is essentially a new unit that has been used only once, typically for transport from its manufacturing origin to a destination. These containers are in excellent condition with minimal wear, making them ideal for storage or modular construction projects where the container appearance is important because of the project location. They offer the benefits of new containers without the higher cost. 

Cargo Worthy

The 'Cargo Worthy' certification that vouches for their fitness for international transport under rigorous standards set by the IICL. These containers have been inspected rigorously; they’ve got more than a few miles on them but are still ideal for sheds, animal shelters, school equipment, vehicles, fire restoration jobs, remodel jobs, excess inventories, swimming pools, etc.

Wind and Water Tight

Wind & Water Tight (WWT) containers are sturdy storage units designed to withstand the elements, ensuring that contents remain dry and secure. These containers have been inspected to guarantee they're wind tight and watertight, providing reliable protection against wind, rain, and pests—ideal for animal shelters, sheds, vehicles, equipment storage, excess inventory, fire restorations, remodel projects.

As Is

Last in line are 'As Is'' containers—a gamble that may pay off if you’re looking for just a metal box. We sell very few of these due to the fact we have very little demand for this type of container.  If you are in need of an “as is” container, please call and we can check our current inventory for damaged containers.
