New 30ft One-Trip Cut-Down Shipping Container

This new 30ft one-trip cut-down shipping container provides a practical intermediate size for customers who need more storage capacity than a 20ft container but do not have the space or need for a full 40ft unit.

The container is professionally shortened from a 40ft one-trip container to approximately 30ft in length. The modified end is fabricated and securely welded to create a durable enclosed storage space, and the container is re-sprayed inside and outside for a consistent finish.

Constructed from Cor-ten steel, the container features 28mm marine-grade plywood flooring, double cargo doors with steel locking hardware, a fitted lockbox, and forklift pockets.

30ft Cut-Down Design

This container begins as a 40ft one-trip unit and is professionally shortened to approximately 30ft.

The cut-down configuration provides additional storage capacity compared with a standard 20ft container while requiring approximately 10ft less placement space than a full 40ft container.

This makes it particularly useful for commercial properties, construction sites, workshops, farms, residential properties, and other locations where available placement space is limited.

Because this is a professionally modified container, minor dimensional and construction variations may occur between individual units.

Construction & Interior

The container is constructed from durable Cor-ten steel with corrugated steel walls and a reinforced structural frame.

During the cut-down process, the container is shortened and a replacement end wall is fabricated and securely welded into position. The container is then prepared and re-sprayed inside and outside.

The interior features approximately 28mm marine-grade plywood flooring supported by steel cross-members, providing a practical surface for equipment, inventory, palletized goods, tools, machinery, furniture, and other stored items.

Double cargo doors provide access to the interior and are equipped with steel locking bars and secure door hardware. A fitted lockbox provides additional protection for a compatible padlock.

Condition

This container is produced from a one-trip container that has completed a single loaded voyage from its manufacturing origin before being modified to approximately 30ft in length.

Because one-trip containers have been transported, handled, and subsequently modified, minor cosmetic marks may be present. These can include light scratches, small dents, paint variations, weld areas, or other minor cosmetic differences resulting from manufacturing, transportation, fabrication, handling, and storage.

The container is prepared and re-sprayed inside and outside as part of the cut-down process.

Product photos are representative of the product type and general configuration offered and may not depict every minor cosmetic detail of the individual container delivered.
