Detailed Description
This 10ft high cube container is constructed from Cor-ten steel, a weathering steel that develops a protective oxide layer over time, providing long-term durability without requiring frequent repainting . The high cube configuration adds approximately one foot of vertical space compared to a standard 10ft container, increasing the internal height to roughly 8 ft 10 in (2.69 m) .
Used units of this type are retired intermodal containers, showing expected signs of wear from previous service, including surface rust, minor dents, and faded paint. These cosmetic imperfections do not affect the container’s wind and watertight integrity . The unit has been inspected to ensure it has no holes or leaks and the doors seal properly when closed.
The floor system utilizes marine-grade plywood, providing a sturdy surface for storing equipment, tools, and palletized goods . The container includes a factory-fitted lockbox for added security and multiple air vents to promote airflow and reduce moisture accumulation .
