Used Container for storage

Used storage containers are cargo containers that have been retired from shipping service and can provide cost effective long-term secure storage. These containers built of steel, made to carry 30 Tons of cargo, can be stacked 9 high supporting loads of 270 Tons on top of them. Used shipping containers available on the market are usually around 10 to 15 years old. If they are to be used for storage, containers are about as solid as you can get. No pre-manufactured shed will ever protect your goods as effectively as a solid second hand container which has been checked to Wind and Water Tight (WWT). Purchasing a used storage container will give you the most cost efficient and quick solution to your storage problem, and help you keep your budget in check.

Used Container for shipping

If you need a used container for the shipment of cargo we recommend that the container be certified or checked to Cargo Worthy (CW) or IICL . This container much like the storage container will be submitted to a thorough survey in order to make sure that it is Wind and Water Tight (WWT). Special attention will also be paid to the under-structure in order to make sure it can be lifted with a full load of cargo, thus making it Cargo Worthy.
