Understanding Container Grades


Not every container is the same. We offer multiple grades to fit your budget and usage needs. The condition of the container affects its price and suitability for a given purpose.


  • One-Trip (New): These containers have been used only once for shipping. They are in great condition, with little wear and tear. This makes them a top choice for businesses that value a clean look and long-lasting quality.
  • IICL Grade: These used containers are inspected to meet rigorous international standards. They are a great, high-quality option for extended shipping use.
  • Cargo-Worthy: A cost-effective used option that is still safe and certified for international shipping. These units are structurally sound and ready for transport or on-site storage.
  • Wind & Water-Tight: This is our most popular grade for secure storage. While they may have some dents or surface rust, they are guaranteed to be fully sealed against the elements.
  • As-Is: These are our most heavily discounted containers. They are a cost-effective option for storage or creative projects. The look of the container is not very important.
