WHAT ARE THE GRADES WE OFFER
A GRADE | NEW – One Trip (OT) Containers
These containers have been used only once to ship cargo from the manufacturer. They are in near-perfect condition and ideal if you're looking for the cleanest and most presentable option.
Thanks to their original factory paint and untouched flooring, One Trip containers are often the preferred choice for clients who prioritize aesthetics, longevity, and minimal wear.
If you want a container that looks almost brand new and is built to last, a One Trip container is the best investment you can make.
B GRADE | USED – CARGO WORTHY (CW) Container
These containers are structurally sound and meet the standards for international shipping. They may show signs of wear like minor dents, rust, or repairs, but are fully functional.
CW containers are ideal if you want reliable performance and durability, while keeping costs lower than with One Trip units.
C GRADE | USED – Wind & Water Tight (WWT) Container
Over time, some CW containers may no longer meet all technical criteria for international transport — for example, they may lack a valid CSC plate or show minor structural wear. In these cases it gets downgraded to WWT (Wind and Watertight). This typically happens due to expired certifications, signs of age, or minor damage that doesn’t affect its use for storage but disqualifies it from shipping.
These containers are no longer certified for export but are guaranteed to be wind and water tight — ideal for secure storage and modifications.
If you want a container that looks almost brand new and is built to last, a One Trip container is the best investment you can make.
