30-Day Guarantee

The 40ft HC As-Is is the deepest-discount tall 40 we offer, and we sell it strictly to buyers who know what they’re walking into. These units arrive after long commercial lives, often with a roof corner ding, big rust patches across the side panels, faded carrier paint that’s seen years of UV, and the occasional pinhole that needs patching before you can rely on the envelope.

Where this grade earns its place is on rural Front Range properties and ag operations. For barn alternatives outside Bennett, hay and equipment storage on Adams County hobby farms, or as the raw shell for a DIYer who plans to weld in new wall panels anyway, the price is impossible to beat. You’re effectively buying corten stock at scrap-adjacent pricing with the bonus of an intact floor and doors that mostly work.

There’s no 30-day guarantee on As-Is units and we won’t recommend one for any sleeping or rental conversion without a major rebuild. For the right buyer - typically a welder or experienced container converter - it’s the best value on the lot.
