10′ Shipping Container for Sale – This compact, high-quality container has been used only once for cargo transport, ensuring it is in excellent, near-new condition.

Standard features include a lockbox for enhanced security and an easy-open handle (on barn door models). All specifications and features should be confirmed before purchase.
Note: Each 10′ container is custom-made by cutting a new (one trip) 20′ container in half, with the cut end professionally finished to maintain strength, security, and weather resistance. Whether you choose barn doors or a roll-up door, this container is a durable, versatile solution for residential, commercial, or industrial use.
Description
A 10′ shipping container for sale made by cutting a 20-foot container in half is a compact and durable solution for secure storage and transport in tight spaces. These containers retain the original Corten steel structure and marine-grade plywood flooring, ensuring strength and weather resistance. After cutting, both ends are professionally sealed, reinforced, and repainted, maintaining structural integrity and protection against the elements. With wind and watertight (WWT) seals, they provide a reliable, low-maintenance storage option for tools, equipment, or personal belongings.
Since 10′ containers are not manufactured as standard sizes, repurposing 20′ units is a cost-effective way to create a smaller container while maintaining ISO-grade durability. These modified units typically include double cargo doors on one end for easy access and can be further customized with lockboxes, vents, insulation, shelving, or roll-up doors to suit various applications. Their compact footprint makes them ideal for urban environments, job sites, or businesses needing secure yet space-efficient storage.
Features
- Venting: A standard shipping container typically comes equipped with one to two passive vents, usually located near the top corners of the sidewalls. These small, louvered vents help facilitate limited air circulation and reduce internal condensation by allowing moisture-laden air to escape.
- Lockbox: A shipping container lockbox is a heavy-duty steel enclosure designed to protect the container’s locking mechanism from theft and tampering. It is welded or bolted onto the container doors, covering the padlock and preventing access to bolt cutters or other tools. Note: units equipped with the rollup doors do not have a lockbox.
- Floor: standard one-trip shipping container is typically equipped with marine-grade plywood flooring, supported by steel crossmembers underneath. The plywood is usually 28mm (1.1 inches) thick and is treated to be moisture-resistant, durable, and pest-resistant.
- Forklift Pockets: Most 10′ containers do not retain useable forklift pockets.
Required Clearances for Delivery
To ensure a successful delivery of your shipping container, it is important to have adequate clearance and space prepared.
- 20 ft. container: 60 ft. of straight clearance is required.
The measurement should be taken from the point where the back of the container will sit.
Additionally, the truck delivering the container will require a total width of 12 feet. To safely drive under any obstacles, 14 feet of vertical clearance is necessary for the truck and container. At the actual delivery site, there should be a vertical clearance of 16-20 feet (depending on the truck and trailer) to ensure a safe tilt-off delivery.
