» Container Purchasing Guideline
|
As a company that has been operational for years, we strive to offer only the best services to our clients. Therefore, we have strict guidelines that we follow and expect our clients to adhere to them as well. These guidelines are as follows; |
|
|
Guaranteed Quality |
We can guarantee you that our used containers are thoroughly inspected based on CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) guidelines and classified into each grade then, given the go-ahead by the Container Inspector Licensee, which we are part of. |
|
Sold-As Is |
Our sales are on an "AS IS" basis. This means that once you have made your purchase, no returns are accepted unless the container(s) does not meet the grade criteria. We abide by this rule due to the fact that used containers have different specialties. For instance, they require too much handling, and the delivery costs are extremely high. There will be no practical benefits for you after the deduction of relevant costs if we accept return. Instead, we can help you in reselling the units in order to recover your costs. |
|
Limited Visit |
We understand that some clients may want to visit our site and view our products before they can proceed and make a purchase. However, we regret to inform you that this is not always possible but only limited opportunities like in case of our yard can allow it. As one of the largest and major sellers in North America, we try our best to offer the best services while maintaining the highest level of security. Our yards are always busy, and the level of traffic in and out of our yards can be stressful. This is why we avoid visits because we try to maintain the highest level of security in our yards. Apart from this, it would be technically impossible to decide which container to allocate to you since most of our containers are sold on a first come first serve basis. We ship our containers based on the order of availability, therefore making it hard to find an empty one to show you. |
|
No Delivery in Advance |
Since we aspire to have a long-lasting and stable relationship with our clients, we try our best to avoid payment conflicts. With this in mind, we don't ship out containers without getting the full payment or an advanced financing approval from us. |
|
Financing |
If you want to buy containers but you don't have enough capital, then we can assist you. |
|
Delivery |
When you buy a container(s) from us, we will arrange a carrier if you want. On the other hand, you can pick the container(s) up by yourself. *Delivery rates may vary based upon extraneous factors in completing delivery such as truck accessibility (Base Rate is $250 + $5 or more/miles upon delivery conditions) |
|
Pay Tax |
In case of we don’t collect sales tax in advance, you need to voluntarily pay sales tax or use tax if applicable. |
|

53ft High Cube Shipping Container: Product Overview
The 53ft High Cube (HC) is the largest intermodal shipping asset in North America, often called a Wide-Body Conex or Domestic High Cube. It is specifically designed to maximize volumetric efficiency for domestic logistics and large-scale storage.
Key Features & Benefits
- Superior Capacity: Offers approximately 3,830 to 3,970 cubic feet of internal volume, providing roughly 60% more space than a standard 40ft container.
- Extra-Wide Body: An exterior width of 8'6" allows for side-by-side loading of standard North American pallets, accommodating up to 30 pallets in a single tier.
- Increased Vertical Clearance: The 9'6" exterior height provides an internal ceiling of approximately 8'10", ideal for tall machinery or habitable conversions.
- Intermodal Compatibility: Engineered to rail industry standards with intermediate corner castings at the 40ft mark, enabling safe double-stacking on rail cars.
- Durability: Units are wind and watertight (WWT) and available in Corten steel for stationary storage or composite plate (DuraPlate) for snag-free intermodal transport.

Condition & Build Grades
- One-Trip (New): Shipped once from Asia; provides the highest aesthetic quality and a 25–30 year lifespan.
- Cargo Worthy (CW) / Wind & Watertight (WWT): Typically retired from rail service after 15–20 years; guaranteed leak-free despite surface rust or dents.
Site & Delivery Requirements
▶ CRITICAL: This unit requires the most extensive delivery site of any standard container.
- Linear Clearance: Requires 120 to 135 feet of straight-line ground clearance for a tilt-bed truck to unload.
- Overhead Clearance: While the container is 9'6" tall, it can reach a height of 21 feet during offloading.
- Ground Conditions: Must be firm, dry, and level (gravel, pavement, or compacted dirt) to support a 45,000 lb loaded truck.
- Foundation: It is strongly recommended to place the unit on concrete pads or railroad ties under corner posts and mid-points to ensure the frame remains level.
