NEW BUILD (ONE TRIP)
These containers have been newly built and have only done one trip at sea as opposed to ALL the other grades which have been at sea for many years. If you are looking to buy quality, these containers will last for many decades and represent the best value and life expectancy available. Whilst these containers are newly built they have however been used to getting cargo from overseas to Australia which means there can be signs of use. We give these containers to shipping lines free of charge to enable the cheapest resale to you, our customer. So, it is possible to find (a small amount) of non transferable markings to the internal as well as external marks from handling equipment at the ports. Please note that we highlight that there may be some marks to ensure we give an accurate description. This will help both the perfectionist and the average buyer.
This grade of shipping container is perfect if you are looking for a container that does not have any rust, is aesthetically in great shape and especially if you are planning to modify the container and need to be sure it will have the longest life.

INDUSTRIAL GRADE
The Industrial Grade Container is wind and watertight and our best value graded container for its condition and is still water tight, weather proof and vermin proof. In this grade the container is cosmetically inferior to the Standard Storage and Premium Repainted containers and will show more signs of wear, tear, dents, surface rust, patches and other damage. An Industrial grade container is excellent for short to mid-term commercial storage, trade storage or domestic storage where longevity and appearance are a low priority.
Industrial Grade Containers are not recommended for rail and ocean freight and are better suited to static storage requirements or the budget conscious.
