Container Options: Explore the Perfect Fit for Your Requirements
One Trip Containers: These containers, also known as “like new” or “single-use” containers, have only been utilized once to transport goods from the manufacturer to their destination. With minimal wear and tear, they remain in excellent condition. If you seek containers in almost pristine condition, these are an ideal choice.
Water Tight Containers: These units are pre-owned but maintain good condition and structural integrity. Though they may exhibit signs of wear, their primary purpose is to keep water and other elements out. If you prioritize secure storage over aesthetics, these containers are a suitable option.
New Containers: Untouched and unutilized, new containers have never been involved in cargo transportation. They boast a flawless condition, completely devoid of any signs of wear or usage. When your project demands the utmost condition and appearance, these containers are the perfect fit.
Used Containers: Previously employed for cargo transport, used containers show varying degrees of wear and tear. Ranging from gently used to more visibly worn, they remain functional and well-suited for applications where appearance is not of utmost concern.
Refurbished Containers: Refurbished containers offer a great balance between quality and cost-effectiveness, making them ideal for projects that require both functionality and a presentable appearance.
As Is Containers: “As is” containers are sold in their current condition, which may include cosmetic and functional issues requiring attention. These containers present a budget-friendly option for those willing to invest in repairs or modifications.
Cargo Worthy Containers: To meet international shipping standards, cargo worthy containers must fulfill specific structural requirements. After thorough inspection and certification, they are deemed safe for transporting cargo overseas. Typically used, these containers maintain a suitable condition for international shipping needs.
Wind and Water Tight Containers: These structurally sound units have been inspected and certified to effectively keep wind and water out. While minor cosmetic imperfections may be present, they serve well for secure storage purposes.
Refurbished Containers: Refurbished containers are previously used units that have undergone repairs and restoration to enhance their condition. Activities such as rust removal, part replacement, and repainting contribute to their improved appearance. These containers strike a balance between cost savings and enhanced aesthetics.
High Cube Containers: When additional vertical space is essential for storage or modifications, high cube containers come into play. They offer more height compared to standard containers, catering to specific requirements.
Open-Top Containers: Designed with a removable top cover, open-top containers facilitate easy loading and unloading of cargo from the top. They are commonly utilized for transporting bulky or oversized items.
Flat Rack Containers: With collapsible sides, flat rack containers are well-suited for shipping large and irregularly shaped cargo that cannot fit into standard containers.
Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers: Equipped with temperature control systems, refrigerated containers are specifically designed for transporting perishable goods that necessitate precise temperature conditions.
Each container condition and type possesses unique advantages and considerations. Select the one that aligns best with your specific needs and budgetary constraints.
