Quality Assurance

Every container inspected before it reaches you

We apply a consistent inspection and grading process so the container you order matches the condition described in its listing.

Our inspection process

Before a unit is listed or released, it passes through the following checks.

Structural Integrity
Corner castings, rails, frame and flooring are reviewed for damage, deformation and structural soundness.
Wind & Watertight
Roof, walls and seals are checked so units listed as wind and watertight keep contents dry and secure.
Doors & Hardware
Door gear, hinges, locking bars and gaskets are tested for smooth operation and a proper seal.
Surface & Coating
Paint condition, corrosion and surface treatment are assessed against our grading standards.
Photographic Record
Condition is documented so what you see reflects the standard of the unit supplied.
Final Sign-Off
Each container is signed off against its listed grade before it is released for delivery.

Understanding grades helps you choose the right unit for your application and budget.

New / One-Trip: Manufactured recently and used for a single cargo voyage. Excellent cosmetic and structural condition, factory paint, minimal wear.
Cargo-Worthy: Certified structurally sound and suitable for international shipping. Normal surface wear consistent with service age.
Wind & Watertight: Structurally sound and sealed against wind and water. Ideal for storage and site use. Cosmetic wear expected.
