Choose your second-hand shipping container
Interested in buying used containers for your workplace or home? TITAN has you covered. We have one of the largest selections of 2nd hand containers available worldwide.
People choose us because:
1/ We actually own the stock we sell: we don’t take your order and then try to source the container.
2/ We have been in the shipping container business for more than 35 years and have thousands of models in stock.
3/ We have a friendly used container sales team who will help you find exactly what you need.
4/ We offer fast delivery. And we can keep delivery costs down thanks to our network of well-stocked global depots.
5/ Our prices are hard to beat.
When buying a second-hand container from TITAN, you will be getting a high-quality container that was built to transport goods all over the world.
That means it is extremely tough – unlike some containers that other companies sell.
We have used shipping containers for sale in 6ft, 8ft, 9ft, 10ft, 20ft and 40ft sizes (check with your local depot for availability). However, our biggest stocks by far are of 20-footers and 40ft containers.
How we grade our used containers for sale
Premium quality
You'll find it hard to fault our premium quality containers. They're delivered in a "like new" state and have been used for storage purposes only. Scuffs and marks will be minimal or non-existent.
Grade A
The second-best container grade covers the next 10-15% of our used models. They're not quite as appealing as a premium quality container, but they are cosmetically sound and should last many years.
Grade B
Your typical, average-quality used container. Likely to have been made at least 15 years ago, these still have years of use left in them and can often be brought back to their former glory with a little effort.
Grade C
This is the domain of the cheap used container – our bottom 10-15% of stock in terms of quality. Most are still fully functional, and while their condition is poor they are still the right choice for some buyers.
Who buys used shipping containers?
Brand-new shipping containers are perfect when money is no object or when your container will be on display. If it’s right outside head office, you probably want your container to look great and represent your brand.
Often, however, containers are tucked away, out of sight. In these instances, their visual appeal becomes less important.
Used, cost-effective containers are also popular when clients are on a tight budget or if they don’t mind a heavily used container because they plan to customise it.
Used container buyers include:
- Factories and warehouses that use them indoors or outdoors.
- Large corporations using them as storage containers.
- Small businesses and traders – such as electricians, carpenters and welders.
- Homeowners looking for low-cost long-term storage.
- Garages/auto shops – using them as indoor offices and places to store spare parts, for example.
- DIY enthusiasts who want to transform them into workshops or garden rooms.
- Retailers and e-commerce businesses.
- Container conversion specialists.
- And more.
Whether you’re looking for cheap used containers for sale or nearly new ones, we can help.
Why our 20-ft and 40-ft second-hand shipping containers have a valid CSC plate
A shipping container’s CSC plate contains its unique identity number and other important details about its life history. They aren’t necessary for lower-quality containers created expressly for storage. Nor are they always required for containers of 10ft or smaller.
TITAN only sells genuine shipping containers – whether their intended use is for transportation on international shipping lines or for the storage of personal possessions or business goods. For that reason, all the 20ft and 40ft containers we sell for shipping have a valid CSC plate – as do many of those sold for storage.
In many ways, it’s a seal of approval – even on older containers – that certifies it was built to international ISO standards for shipping. That means even our C-grade containers, which may have some surface rust, have a good few years of use in them yet.
