Product details
Description
Product overview
A 40ft refurbished shipping container — also called a 40-foot restored conex box — is a professionally refinished steel unit you own outright, combining the capacity of a full-size container with the clean, uniform appearance of a repainted exterior. Each unit is fully inspected, repaired to wind- and water-tight standards, and finished with premium RAL1015 beige direct-to-metal industrial paint.
Why refurbished instead of used? You avoid the faded logos, patchy rust, and inconsistent colors of raw used units while keeping the cost well below new. Built from corrosion-resistant Corten steel with marine-grade plywood flooring, high-grade rubber door seals, reinforced cargo doors, and an optional lockbox upgrade.
Ideal for construction sites, warehouse overflow, agricultural storage, on-site secure storage, and modular conversion projects where both function and presentation matter. A 5-year structural warranty backs every unit. Units ship in stock for nationwide delivery, giving you secure steel storage on a timeline that matches project deadlines without waiting on custom lead times.
