New (“one-trip”) containers have made only a single voyage from the manufacturer and look virtually unused. Used containers vary in condition and are graded and priced accordingly, offering a more budget-friendly option. Cargo worthy containers have minimum standard to observe, and aesthetics is not necessarily one of them. A rusty container may be structurally sound, and in very good condition, but need a paint job.
These are the sizes we offer: 20′, 40′, and 40′ high cube.
Yes — many customers purchase containers purely for on-site storage.
Our container sourcing service is primarily for export of cargo out of the U.S. For this reason, we sell mostly new and used containers in cargo worthy condition. When doing so, chassis’ will be made available for pickup and shipping. Local deliveries are not offered and we will do our best to assist.
Containers are in the condition advertised (cargo worthy, etc.) when sold. However, due to the survey process, to have the container ready for pickup and acceptable to ocean export carriers, there is a Leadtime of 1 to 2 weeks for containers to be ready for pickup by local cartage companies.
Due to how containers are stored and brokered, inspections before purchase are generally not possible. Most yards also do not allow people who are not surveyors to enter the yard to view containers due to restrictions from their insurance company.
Containers are sold as is and subject to the survey. A container that is sold as a cargo worthy container must meet cargo worthy standards. If another surveyor takes exception and downgrades the container a third survey must be requested to determine the true condition of the container. If 2 surveys, out of 3, classifies the container as a lower grade it will be replaced. However, once the container leaves the yard it is considered accepted as graded by the surveyor.
