Often used in infrastructure and civil engineering projects.
*Examples: Long steel pipes, beams, scaffolding, and precast concrete.
- Bulk & Loose Cargo
Loose cargo that can be loaded in bulk from above and requires covering.
*Examples: Items like scrap metal, minerals, or recycled materials that are loaded from the top and tarped.
- Project Cargo / Heavy-Lift Items
Used in oil and gas, energy, and aerospace industries where abnormal dimensions are common.
- Top-Loading with Cranes or Hoists
Useful for cargo that cannot be moved by forklift or pallet jack.
*Examples: marine parts, yacht components, wind turbine blades (smaller sections).

▶ Container Purchasing Guidelines
As a company with years of experience, we are committed to providing the highest quality service to our clients. To ensure a smooth and professional experience for everyone, we follow a set of strict guidelines and expect our clients to do the same. These guidelines are as follows:
• Guaranteed Quality
We guarantee that all our used containers are thoroughly inspected in accordance with CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) standards. Each container is carefully graded and approved by a licensed Container Inspector — a certification we proudly hold.
• Sold-As Is
All our sales are made on an “AS IS” basis. This means that once a purchase is completed, returns are not accepted unless the container(s) fail to meet the agreed grade criteria. We follow this policy because used containers come with unique conditions and specialties. Additionally, they require extensive handling, and delivery costs are significantly high. Accepting returns would offer no practical or financial benefit to you after deducting these associated costs.
• Limited Visit
We understand that some clients may wish to visit our site and view our containers before making a purchase. However, we regret to inform you that this is not always possible. Limited viewing opportunities are occasionally available at certain yard locations, but these are exceptions rather than the norm.
As one of the largest and most trusted container suppliers in North America, we prioritize both efficiency and the highest level of yard security. Our facilities are constantly active, with a high volume of incoming and outgoing traffic, which makes accommodating visits challenging. Additionally, since most of our containers are sold on a first-come, first-served basis and shipped according to availability, it would be logistically difficult to pre-select a specific container for viewing.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to maintain safe, organized, and reliable operations for all our clients.
• Financing
If you’re interested in purchasing containers but don’t have sufficient capital, we’re here to help. We offer a range of equipment financing options to suit your needs. Simply request our one-page application form, complete it, and send it back to us.

Get in touch with us today to explore the option that works best for you.
• Delivery
When you purchase a container from us, we can arrange delivery through a trusted carrier upon request. Alternatively, you’re welcome to handle the pickup yourself if preferred.
Please note: Delivery rates may vary depending on external factors such as truck accessibility and site conditions. The base delivery rate is $250, plus $5 or more per mile based on delivery requirements.
• Pay Tax
If we do not collect sales tax at the time of purchase, you are responsible for voluntarily reporting and paying any applicable sales or use tax.
• Pictures
Please note that the photos in our listings are for reference purposes only. Actual color and appearance may vary. Only the size, grade, and structural shape of the containers are guaranteed to match the listed specifications.
• Payment
You can choose from the following payment options: Bank Deposit, Check, Credit Card, or Financing.
