USED SHIPPING CONTAINERS FOR SALE

USED conditions are further sub categorized into the following categories:

IICL – Institute of International Container Lessors, an organization that groups the largest container and chassis leasing companies worldwide and has the strictest criterion out there for used containers. These containers are often less than 10 years old and look almost like new with minimal damage, rust, and dents. Also widely known as A grade used shipping container in the market.

CW (Cargo Worthy) – Also known as shipping worthy containers. These are the most common type of used containers for sale available in the market. They are wind water tight, vermin proof and are often between 10 to 14 years of age with average rusts and dents but are worthy for sea freight shipping. These units will be what you are after if you intend to ship your laden containers overseas.

WWT (Wind Water Tight) – A slightly cheaper alternative than CW shipping containers if you require to use them for storage locally and not shipping them overseas. One of the most commonly sought-after conditions as most of our customers purchases them for local uses only.

AS IS – One grade lower than WWT, these units are often not surveyed and may have some damages such as dents, holes, rust, and structural deformity. As they are sold AS IS and have not undergone any survey, they are much cheaper than any of the above categories. Definitely not for the fussy buyers. Depending on locations and seasons, you might sometimes be able to find some wind water tight and CW units among our batches if you are lucky.

Damaged or Scrap – Heavily damaged and unsafe and unsuitable for any usage, good for cheap spare part options. Mostly sold to steel scrap companies.

Non operating: (Applicable for refrigerated reefer containers only) often refers to the nonworking functionality of the compressor machinery found within the reefer containers. They are also termed nonworking or decommissioned reefers. Though non-operating, the body of the reefer container is still a gem as it is well insulated with a thick layer of insulation. Extremely suitable for projects which require a certain climate control from the external temperature conditions.
