Dong Fang 45ft Shipping Container DFSU 685135 - Super Heavy Rated Cargo Container
This is a genuine 45-foot high-cube shipping container from Dong Fang, one of Asia's leading container manufacturers. The unit is rated for super heavy cargo operations and represents a solid investment for logistics, storage, or conversion projects. The container has clearly seen active service in international shipping operations, with the characteristic weathering and patina that comes with years of reliable use across multiple ports and climates.
The exterior presents in weathered condition typical of a working container. The turquoise paint shows fading and surface oxidation consistent with extended outdoor exposure and salt-air environments. The corrugated steel walls display moderate surface rust in scattered areas, particularly along lower panels and around door frames. The roof structure remains sound with visible wear patterns. All eight corner castings and the structural frame appear intact and functional. The container retains its original Dong Fang branding and certification markings.
Internally, the container offers a clean, empty cargo space with a dark epoxy floor showing age-related staining and discolouration from years of cargo handling. The floor structure is solid and level. The interior walls are bare corrugated steel with no lining or insulation. Lighting penetrates well through the open doors. The container maintains its watertight integrity suitable for general cargo storage and transport applications.
This container represents excellent value for buyers seeking functional cargo storage, secure equipment housing, or conversion projects. The super heavy rating and proven Dong Fang construction make it suitable for demanding logistics applications. Current market pricing for similar 45ft containers in this condition ranges from AUD 3,500 to 5,500 depending on location and specific condition. This unit is competitively positioned within that range.
