Without preventative maintenance, a new container in a storage environment should last 20+ years. Used containers have a variable lifespan depending upon the condition of the container when purchased. Our containers should be free of problems for many years after purchase, but as steel continues to rust, attention should be paid to areas of rust, and preventative maintenance should be performed as required.
