Why do we grade our shipping containers?

Not all containers are the same. Some are weathered, some are nearly new. That’s why containers are graded, so buyers know what to expect before they commit.

Container grades match different needs. New or Single-Trip units are the perfect choice when making modifications or when container placement will be in high visibility areas where aesthetics matter.

Cargo Worthy containers are structurally sound, lockable, and wind and watertight. Each grade serves a purpose, it all depends on your specific needs.

Our shipping containers are classified under 2 grades:

New Build Single-Trip

New Build Shipping Containers have made a single trip and show minimal marks. Ideal for modifications, high-visibility locations, or when longevity is a priority.

Cargo Worthy

Typically around 15 years old, these containers show standard wear but remain wind and watertight, vermin-proof, structurally sound, and lockable.

Shipping Container Grades & What to Expect

New Build Single-Trip Containers

Fresh from the factory, these Single-Trip Containers are as new as you can get in Australia, with only minor cosmetic blemishes from their one-time journey from manufacturer to depot. Offering outstanding durability, they’re ideal for projects that require both a flawless appearance and long-lasting performance. Examples include storage in high visibility areas, modifications such as offices, retail spaces, and workshops or studios.

Used Cargo Worthy Containers

These used containers have been in service at sea and during transit. While they may show signs of wear like surface rust, dents, and repair patches, they remain fully functional for storage. Cargo worthy containers are ideal for secure on-site storage where the external appearance is not the primary goal.
