Condition of Our Used 40ft High Cubes
Cargo Co’s used 40ft HC containers are typically 8–15 years old and may show cosmetic signs of previous service such as minor dents, surface rust patches and original paint markings. Structurally, every unit is wind and watertight, has fully operational cargo doors, intact rubber seals and a sound marine-grade plywood floor. We do not sell sub-standard “wind and watertight only” stock — every container we list meets our internal quality benchmark before it leaves the depot.
