Refurbished Shipping Containers: Your Guide to Expectations and Benefits

Refurbished storage containers for sale are repurposed WWT (Wind and Water Tight) containers that have undergone thorough preparation, priming, and repainting. This refurbishing process breathes new life into the shipping container, effectively extending its lifespan. We provide customers with three distinct levels of refurbishment options for Used Wind and Water Tight containers.

Typical Refurbishment – The exterior has been given a fresh coat of paint. The container’s outer surface is prepared and painted, which involves using a wire wheel to remove loose rust, applying spot primer to exposed metal, and painting the entire exterior, including the roof. Usually, we paint over locking rods, gaskets, and decals.

Full Refurbishment – Just like a typical refurbishment, this fully refurbished unit package also covers interior painting to enhance the overall look and feel.

Factory Refurbishment – This is a comprehensive revamp of the container, featuring fresh interior and exterior paint, new gaskets, and updated container markings.

When you receive a Refurbished Shipping Container, you can expect the following:

Revitalized Appearance: A refurbished shipping container is a retired one that has been repaired and repainted to make it look more presentable.
Working Doors: The container doors should be in working condition, and you should be able to open and close them without using excessive force.
Clean Interior: Refurbished containers typically have a clean interior, free from signs of previous usage.
Sturdy Flooring: The flooring should be sturdy and free from significant damage.
Some Imperfections: As these are used containers, they may still have some imperfections such as minor dents and rust.
Long-Term Value: If you plan to use a storage container for more than 3 years, buying a refurbished one might be more cost-effective than renting.
