USED CONTAINER

The used general-purpose container is our most well-liked container. Before they are retired, these containers have served the shipping business for five to fifteen years with great dedication.

The majority of these pre-owned shipping containers still bear the original markings and paint from when they were first utilised for transportation. Wear and tear indicators like surface corrosion, dents, and scratches could be apparent.

Even if they may not have the best exterior or interior design, depending on their grade, they are nevertheless robust and useful for a variety of tasks, including cargo transportation and storage solutions.

NEW ONE TRIP

The frequent handling that our brand-new One Trip shipping containers endure during their lengthy ocean cruise may have caused some minor dents, dings, and scratches.

These brand-new shipping containers are manufactured in Asia and delivered to our global depots. We only fill these brand-new containers with cargo once in order to minimise transportation expenses and provide our clients with the best deals. In this manner, we are able to pay for the repositioning costs and transfer those savings to our clients.

REFURBISHED CONTAINER

Used Wind and Water Tight (WWT) containers that have undergone certain treatment are known as refurbished containers. This procedure entails priming, cleaning, and applying a new coat of paint. It can extend the life of a shipping container, much like giving it a fresh lease on life. We provide our Used Wind and Water Tight containers with three different levels of refurbishment:

  1. Standard renovation: We repaint the container’s outside. Preparing and painting the exterior entails using a wire wheel to remove any loose rust, spot-priming any exposed metal, and painting the entire exterior—including the roof. Gaskets, decals, and locking rods are usually painted over.

  2. Whole renovation: This is comparable to the Standard Renovation, but we additionally paint the interior.

  3. Factory renovation: The container has undergone a total makeover. It receives new paint on the outside and inside, new gaskets, and new container markings. It looks and feels like a brand-new container!

 

When it comes to used shipping containers, we carefully examine and categorize them based on several factors. These factors include their age, how sturdy they are, both inside and out, the distance they’ve traveled, any history of damage and repairs, and the weather conditions they’ve endured during storage and shipping. As you search for a container, you’ll come across the following classifications.

WIND AND WATER TIGHT

We thoroughly inspect and classify secondhand shipping containers according to a number of criteria. These variables include how old they are, how resilient they are on the inside and outside, how far they’ve gone, whether they’ve previously needed repairs or damage, and the weather they’ve experienced while being stored and shipped. The following categories will appear when you look for a container.

CARGO WORTHY (CW)

Cargo Worthy shipping containers have passed a rigorous examination process and are approved for use on international roads, trains, and ships due to their strength and security.

These containers’ exteriors will still have some surface rust, dents, scratches, and old shipping markings in addition to their original paint (though the colour may have changed). A container survey and a current CSC inspection sticker are required if you intend to use a container for international transportation in order to meet the requirements.


IICL (IICL-6)

When a container satisfies the stringent inspection requirements set out by the Institute of International Container Lessors (IICL), it is deemed appropriate for international transportation.

Because IICL containers are in excellent condition, their book value is typically higher. They look a lot better from the outside than a WWT container.

AS IS

A shipping container that has been assessed and found to have major damage that would be too costly to fix, preventing it from becoming wind- and watertight, is referred to as a “As Is” container.

These containers have various structural problems, holes in the floor, and other outside and internal problems. In general, we advise against buying “As Is” containers unless the customer has a specified purpose for which aesthetics and structural integrity are unimportant.
