Best Value for Storage
If you don’t need CSC certification for shipping, our Wind & Water Tight containers offer excellent value. You get all the storage benefits at a lower price point.
What is Wind & Water Tight?
WWT containers have been retired from active shipping service but are thoroughly inspected to ensure:
- No Leaks: Completely sealed against rain, snow, and wind
- Functional Doors: Open, close, and lock properly
- Solid Structure: Safe for storing heavy equipment
- Clean Interior: Ready for your contents
The Difference from Cargo Worthy
The main difference is certification. WWT containers:
- Cannot be used for international ocean shipping
- May have more cosmetic wear (surface rust, dents)
- Have the same storage functionality
- Cost $400 less than CWO
Perfect For
- Farm Storage: Equipment, feed, supplies
- Business Inventory: Overflow stock, seasonal items
- Construction Sites: Tool and material storage
- Backyard Storage: Alternative to a shed
- Workshop Conversion: Great base for DIY projects
