Inspected
Structurally Sound
30-Day Guarantee

A 20ft HC As-Is unit is the bargain bin on tall steel. These are typically 18 years or more removed from their factory commissioning, often with paint patches that tell a long road-and-rail story, sometimes a corner ding that pushed them out of cargo-worthy rotation. They make it onto our Aurora lot when the price is right to pass the savings on.

We sell them honestly: no 30-day guarantee, no promises about pinhole leaks, no guarantee the doors swing perfectly. What you’re buying is a square corten envelope at the lowest tall-wall price point in the region. If your project is a livestock windbreak on an Adams County hobby farm, a steel reskinning project, or a workshop where you plan to weld in your own new wall panels, this is the price you want to pay.

Anyone planning to sleep, work, or rent the space without major remediation should bump up to WWT or CW. We’re not shy about steering you there if the project doesn’t match the grade.
