Our Used Container Grading System

Not all used containers are equal. We grade every unit so you know exactly what you are getting:

  • One-Trip (A+) — Made in China, shipped once to the US loaded with cargo. Near-new with minimal wear. Best for long-term storage or conversions.
  • Cargo Worthy (A) — Certified for ocean transport. Minor dents and surface wear. Doors seal properly, floor is solid.
  • Wind & Watertight (B) — No longer certified for shipping but fully weatherproof. May have surface rust, patches, or cosmetic damage. Best value for storage.
  • As-Is (C) — Sold for parts, scrap, or buyer inspection. May have holes, damaged doors, or floor issues. Priced accordingly.

FAQ

How long do used shipping containers last?

A well-maintained steel shipping container lasts 25-30 years. Even a used container in wind-and-watertight condition will give you 10-15 more years of reliable service for storage.

Are used containers waterproof?

Any container graded “Wind & Watertight” or above is fully weatherproof. We test every door seal and inspect for holes before listing. Grade C (As-Is) containers may have leaks.
