20ft High-Cube As-Is Shipping Container

The 20ft high-cube as-is container delivers the most interior volume per dollar you can find in the compact 20ft class. These units have been retired from active shipping duty and show their mileage — heavy surface rust, possible pin-holes, worn floor sections, and doors that may need lubrication or adjustment. The core steel frame, however, remains structurally solid and can support stacking or crane lifts without issue.

Around Denver this grade is popular with fabricators and artists who plan to cut, weld, and reshape the container anyway. Starting with an as-is shell means you are not paying extra for cosmetic quality you intend to grind away. The 9'6" exterior height gives you more raw material to work with when designing lofted interiors, rooftop decks, or tall entryway openings.

Other common uses include equipment corrals on ranch properties, wind barriers for outdoor work areas, and semi-covered storage when placed under an existing carport or barn overhang. If complete weather-sealing matters, plan on budgeting for a few hours of patch welding and a fresh coat of sealant paint.
