BUYING GUIDE
Compare the unit before you compare the quote.
Use the intended load, available space and delivery plan to narrow the right starting point.
20ft standard dry
Practical for general cargo, compact storage and sites where footprint matters.
- Check door clearance
- Confirm payload and floor condition
- Plan the delivery position
40ft standard or high cube
More volume for larger loads; high cube adds internal height but needs route clearance.
- Compare internal dimensions
- Check overhead restrictions
- Confirm handling and transport scope
Reefer, open top or flat rack
Special equipment should be matched to temperature, loading method and cargo dimensions.
- Share cargo measurements
- State lifting or top-loading needs
- Ask about inspection documents
PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE
Buy with a clear view of condition and cost
Ask for recent photographs of the doors, roof, corner posts, floor and interior. Appearance alone does not establish whether a container is suitable for cargo transport. Confirm the required inspection and documentation before committing.
Compare the complete quotation: equipment, release or handling, transport and unloading. State whether you need depot collection or delivery so the quoted scope is clear. Stock, final specifications and prices are confirmed against your enquiry.
Your enquiry checklist
- Type, size, quantity and intended use
- Preferred condition and any inspection requirements
- Delivery address or collection depot
- Required date and site access
- Whether unloading is required
BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
Useful answers.
Can I also sell containers?
Yes. Use the selling enquiry option and include quantity, location, condition and recent photographs. The Sell Containers page explains how to prepare a useful unit brief.
Is a used container automatically cargo worthy?
No. Used describes previous service; suitability for a cargo movement depends on the condition, inspection, documentation and requirements of that movement.
