20ft One-Trip Shipping Container – White, Lockbox, 4 Color Options

Description

The 20ft One-Trip Shipping Container from Big Bear Containers is a heavy-duty, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.

This 20ft one-trip shipping container is a near-new unit manufactured in China and used for a single cargo journey before being offered for sale in the USA — delivered in White as standard, with alternative colors available at time of order. One-Trip condition means the interior, floor, door seals, and lockbox are in near-new condition with minimal surface marks, offering the structural and weatherproofing performance of a new container at a one-trip price point. This unit is a step above our 20ft Used WWT Container in both condition and specification — the one-trip unit is cleaner internally, lighter at 2,180 kg tare, and includes a factory-fitted lockbox as standard rather than as an optional extra.

The container is built from COR-TEN weathering steel throughout — frame, cladding, and corner castings — providing excellent corrosion resistance in outdoor environments without ongoing maintenance. The floor is 28mm marine-grade plywood on steel cross-members, rated for forklift loading and heavy palletised goods. Both cargo doors are fitted with two locking bars each, and the factory-fitted lockbox provides a recessed padlock housing to reduce shackle exposure to bolt cutter attack. Four vents provide passive airflow to manage condensation during storage.

Color options available at time of order: White (as shown), Gentian Blue, Cobalt Blue, and Bottle Green. Specify your preferred color when placing your order — no additional lead time applies for color variants unless respraying is involved, which should be confirmed with Big Bear Containers. For guidance on container siting and permit requirements in the USA, refer to the International Code Council building standards reference.

• Long-term weatherproof storage

Construction & Durability

Structurally the 20ft steel shipping container is factory-fresh one-trip steel with a rigid box frame: two rails, two headers, four posts, eight castings. Load paths run through the corners, so the walls stay unstressed and the doors keep their seal for the life of the unit.

Delivery & Site Preparation

Delivery is by tilt-bed truck: the bed angles up and the 20ft steel shipping container slides off onto your ground — no crane, no second lift. Allow about 75ft of clear, straight approach so the bed can tilt and slide the unit off. Firm, level ground matters more than anything else; gravel or concrete piers under the four corners will keep the doors swinging true.
