Container Condition & Samples
One Trip
Like New or “One Trip Containers” are generally within a year or two of their date of manufacture and are in excellent condition inside and out with very few dings and dents.
While some one trip containers have only taken one trip across an ocean on a container ship, the term “one tripper” is more of a reference to a 1-2 year old container.
One trip containers are generally double the cost of wind and water tight containers, but are great for customers where appearance and condition is extremely important.
CW
Used shipping containers that are still able to be CSC certified for overseas shipment on container ships. Cargo-worthy or “CW” containers are generally in a little better shape than WWT containers and are guaranteed to be wind/water tight.
Because containers are exposed to elements and made from steel, all CW and WWT units will have some surface rust. CW containers will need a little cosmetic attention, and will have dings/dents. These are one step up from wind and water tight.
WWT
Wind and water tight graded used shipping containers are what you’d guess. They don’t leak, and have working doors. However, they probably need some cosmetic work.
