Used 10ft Cut Down Container

The used 10ft cut down shipping container is a compact storage unit fabricated from a standard 20ft or 40ft container that has been professionally shortened . This provides a weather-resistant storage solution for applications with limited space, constructed from durable materials salvaged from full-size units.

Key Features

• Compact 10ft footprint suitable for driveways, backyards, and confined urban locations with restricted access 

• Cor-ten steel construction for structural integrity and weather resistance

• Wind and watertight design verified to be hole- and leak-free with intact doors and seals 

• Marine-grade plywood flooring (28mm) over steel cross-members 

• Double doors with steel locking bars and lock box for secure closure

• Forklift pockets and lifting eyes for handling and positioning 

• Ventilation openings for airflow and moisture reduction

Detailed Description

This 10ft cut down container is constructed from Cor-ten steel, a weathering steel grade that develops a stable protective layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. The unit is created by professionally cutting down a larger container (typically 40ft) and blanking in the open end with steel panels or cargo doors . This fabrication method makes efficient use of materials and provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a 10ft ISO shipping container .

Used cut down containers have typically been retired from active shipping service and may show expected signs of wear including surface rust, scratches, and minor dents . Wind & Watertight (WWT) condition indicates the container is guaranteed to be free from holes and leaks, with doors that seal properly and intact floors, making it suitable for storage applications . These units are not certified for active international shipping.

The floor system utilizes 28mm marine-grade plywood panels secured to steel cross-members, providing load-bearing capacity for tools, equipment, and palletized goods . The compact dimensions make this unit suitable for locations where a full-length 20ft container cannot fit, such as residential driveways or confined construction sites .
