Container Grades

One Trip Containers

Our "One Trip" containers are top-tier, having only made a single voyage from Asia to the United States.
While not brand new, they are exceptionally close, considering containers aren't manufactured locally. These containers are the newest available for purchase in the United States.
They are typically painted in light beige or grey and feature high handles for easy access and lock boxes for added security.
"One Trip" containers offer the highest quality, having spent minimal time at sea, with any wear limited to tire marks or light scratches.
All our "One Trip" containers are constructed from durable 14-gauge corten steel with heavy-duty plywood floors designed to handle up to 60,000 lbs.
They are our most commonly available units and are ideal for modifications.

Cargo Worthy Containers

"Cargo Worthy" containers are inspected and approved for international maritime shipping.
These containers are structurally sound and often in excellent cosmetic condition.
If you plan to ship your container overseas, it's crucial to purchase a "Cargo Worthy" container.
"Cargo Worthy" containers are a great choice for modifications if you're looking for a cost-effective solution.

Wind and Watertight Containers

"Wind and Watertight" containers are the most economical option and are guaranteed weatherproof and vermin-proof.
These containers have retired from shipping lines, showing noticeable wear and tear.
They are readily available and provide secure weatherproof storage.
For a cleaner and longer-lasting option, you can consider paying a slightly higher price for "Cargo Worthy" or "One Trip".

Refurbished Containers

Our "Refurbished" containers are either "Wind and Watertight" or "Cargo Worthy" units.
They undergo thorough inspections, pressure washing, rust removal, dent repairs, and repainting.
"Refurbished" containers come in various colors, enhancing aesthetics and durability.
They are an excellent choice for custom colors and longer-lasting containers.

"As Is" Containers

"As Is" units have significant damage and are not suitable for stationary storage.
They may have major structural issues, making them unfit for weatherproofing.
We generally don't recommend purchasing "As Is" containers unless your needs don't require weatherproofing.
While they are cheaper, they carry risks and are usually not the best choice compared to other grades.
