Yes, we offer both new (one-trip) and used containers. Used containers are thoroughly
inspected to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Shipping containers are built to provide a high level of security. Constructed from durable steel, they are designed to withstand challenging transportation conditions, offering resistance against theft and damage. Most containers come with strong locking systems and multiple locking points on the doors to protect their contents.
For added security, some containers are equipped with reinforced lockboxes.
Shipping containers are specifically constructed to be water-resistant. They are made with durable materials and sealed joints that protect the contents from rain, snow, and other harsh weather conditions. The robust steel structure and rubber door seals help maintain dryness inside, making them an excellent choice for outdoor storage.
That said, while they are built to be watertight, exposure to the elements over time—such as rust or damage to seals—could affect their waterproof capabilities. Regular maintenance and inspection are essential to ensure the containers continue to provide complete protection from water.
