Container Construction
A typical shipping container uses a steel structural frame with corrugated steel panels, cargo doors, corner castings, locking hardware, and a container floor. Construction details and components can vary by container.
Container Weight & Capacity
Container specifications can include tare weight, payload capacity, and maximum gross weight. These figures vary by container design and manufacturer, so confirm the specifications of the actual container before loading or transporting it.
What to Inspect Before Buying a Used 20ft Container
When inspection is available, evaluate the individual container rather than relying only on its general condition description.
Doors, Locking Rods & Door Seals
Check that the cargo doors open and close properly and that the locking rods operate correctly. Examine the door seals and gaskets for damage or deterioration.
When the doors are closed, look for obvious gaps or areas where daylight or water could enter the container.
Floor & Interior
Inspect the container floor for damaged boards, soft areas, stains, excessive wear, or evidence of water intrusion
Also check the interior walls and ceiling for holes, patches, moisture, unusual odors, or previous repairs.
Roof & Exterior Walls
Inspect the roof and exterior panels for holes, significant dents, corrosion, patches, and previous repairs.
Pay particular attention to areas where water could enter the container.
Corner Castings & Frame
Examine the visible structural frame and corner castings for obvious damage, deformation, or signs of significant impact.
If the container will be used for transportation or another application with structural requirements, obtain the appropriate inspection or certification information for that individual unit.

Delivery Requirements

Provide the delivery address and any access limitations when requesting a quote so the delivery requirements can be evaluated.
