What you're actually getting

Pick your condition. Honestly.

Container condition grading is where most sellers fudge the truth. Here's the honest breakdown for both options. Read the full grading guide →

Used · Cargo-Worthy from $4295

  • Structurally sound — frame, floor, roof all solid
  • Weathertight — no leaks, no holes, gasket-sealed doors
  • Surface rust on edges + corner castings (cosmetic only)
  • Small dents in the corrugated panels (cosmetic)
  • Paint faded or scuffed from cargo service

Our promise: If we wouldn't store our own gear in it, we don't sell it as Cargo-Worthy.

New · One-Trip from $6495

  • Manufactured for export, one ocean voyage, then sold
  • Fresh factory paint — clean, sharp edges
  • No surface rust, no dents, no paint fade
  • Brand-new floor, doors, gaskets
  • Closest to "brand new" without paying truly-new prices

Our promise: If it shows up looking worse than a new-appliance scratch-and-dent, we make it right.

Common questions

Questions people ask about 45ft High-Cube containers.

Why are 45ft containers less common?

They're primarily used in over-the-road trucking (max US trailer length). For storage, 40ft is the volume sweet spot. We get them when supply hits the resale market.

Can my truck deliver a 45ft container to my site?

Same truck as 40ft, but the trailer overhangs an extra 5'. Tight residential approaches that work for 40ft may not work for 45ft. Send photos.

Is a 45ft worth the extra cost over a 40ft High-Cube?

Only if you need the extra 5' of length specifically. Per cubic foot the math is similar — you're paying for the form factor, not better economics.

How tall is a 45ft High-Cube?

9'6" exterior, same as 40ft High-Cube. The "high-cube" part is the height, not the length.
