Used Shipping Containers for Sale in Long Beach
Buy used shipping containers in Long Beach and get the lowest possible price on a solid steel box. Every used unit is graded — cargo-worthy or wind-and-watertight — so you know its condition before you pay.
Used Grades Explained
Cargo-Worthy (CW): certified structurally sound and still fit for international shipping. Minor surface rust and dings, doors seal well. Best all-round used value.
Wind & Watertight (WWT): guaranteed no leaks and sealing doors, more cosmetic wear than CW. The cheapest way to get dry, secure storage.

What a Used Container Looks Like
Expect honest wear: surface rust spots, scuffs, patched paint, and a few dents. What you will not get is a leak or a structural problem — those units do not pass our grade. If appearance matters for your project, compare with a one-trip container.

Used Container Questions
Are used shipping containers waterproof?
Yes. Every used unit we sell is at least wind-and-watertight — inspected to confirm no leaks and sealing doors.
What is the difference between cargo-worthy and wind-and-watertight?
Cargo-worthy is certified for shipping and structurally stronger; wind-and-watertight is dry and secure but more cosmetically worn and cheaper.
How cheap can a used container get in Long Beach?
A used wind-and-watertight 20ft is the entry point, roughly $1,600–$2,300 delivered locally.
