Shipping container grades

Our containers are available in the following grades:

• New. One-way export unit manufactured in the current or previous year. A brand new container.
• “A” grade shipping containers. Very good condition. Absolutely wind and watertight. All holes (if there have been any) have been properly and fully repaired. No dents over 50mm deep. Good floor with no breakages. Doors easily open to the full 270 degrees and all locking bars, cams, saddles, retainers, handles and seals are in good condition. These containers are suitable for export or food transport.
• “A” grade painted shipping containers. Same as “A” grade (see above) but repainted to as-new condition with marine grade paint.
• “B” grade shipping containers. General purpose units suitable for household goods. Wind and watertight, may have up to 10% corrosion internally or externally, possibly some minor deep rust. May have been fixed with flashtac heavy duty aluminium bitumen tape. These containers are still suitable for storage and other applications but we would not recommend them for construction or other very long-term applications.
• “C” grade shipping containers. There is something wrong with the container. Suitable for machinery, tools, or anything that needs only basic shelter. These containers may have: a high rust level (greater than 15% internally or externally), heavy impact damage, a broken floor, and/or missing door seals. The shipping container may not be wind and watertight. Holes may have been fixed with automotive body filler, Solastic or aluminium-backed bitumen tape. These containers are still secure: the doors still lock and there is no way to break in. We only recommend these containers for securing machinery, tools or anything that does not need to be kept indoors. These containers are a very affordable way to secure generators, trailers, and other easily stolen equipment.
