Standard vs. High-Cube

High-cube containers add an extra 12 inches of exterior height (9’6″ vs. 8’6″), providing approximately one extra foot of interior vertical clearance—ideal for pallet racking, tall machinery, and finished mobile office conversions.

Specialty & Access Configurations

Double-Door "Tunnel" Containers

Feature operational cargo doors at both ends, allowing dual-entry access without unpacking the entire unit. Available in 20′ and 40′ lengths (standard and high cube).

Open-Side Containers

Feature full-length bifold side doors along one long wall for side-loading oversized equipment, extra-wide cargo, or rapid pallet access.

Mobile Office Containers

Purpose-built, ground-level field offices available in 20′ standard and 40′ high-cube configurations, fully equipped with climate control and finished interiors.

Four-Door Multi-Access Units

40′ high-cube containers divided into separated compartments with multiple side access doors. (Subject to yard availability)

Open-Top, Flat-Rack & Refrigerated Units

Built for specialized overhead crane loading, heavy platform machinery, or temperature-controlled storage. (Available by special request and subject to yard stock)

Understanding Container Conditions

New / One-Trip

Manufactured overseas and shipped across the ocean once with a single cargo load. Features pristine paint, clean floors, intact door seals, and factory lockbox housings.

Cargo-Worthy

Inspected, structurally sound used containers certified to meet international maritime cargo transit standards.

Wind & Watertight

Structurally intact used containers guaranteed to keep interior contents safe from rain and wind. Expected cosmetic wear includes surface rust, scratches, and minor dents, but all door gaskets and flooring remain fully functional.

As-Is

Value-priced used containers sold without weatherproofing guarantees, best for basic containment or structural projects.

Dimensions & Availability Disclaimer

Container dimensions and capacities are approximate and vary slightly based on manufacturer, production year, and modifications. Specialty units (open-side, double-door, multi-door, and reefers) may exhibit wider variations in opening widths and interior clearances.
