Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
CONTAINER CONDITIONS AND COMPONENTS
Are containers weatherproof and waterproof?
It depends on the grade of the container, but, yes, nearly all of our containers are weatherproof and waterproof. The only containers not guaranteed to be weather- and waterproof are the “As Is.” We do not recommend purchasing these containers if you desire to have your cargo protected from the elements.
View our container grades here for more information.
What is the maximum weight a container can hold?
That depends on the size of the container.
The max. gross weight of a 10′ container is ~22,400; net weight ~19,500.
The maximum gross weight of a 20′ container is ~67,000lbs with a net weight of ~63,100.
The max. gross weight of a 40′ container is ~71,900 with a net weight of ~63,500.
A 40′ High Cube has a max. gross of ~71,800 and a net of ~63,200.
What's the difference between the various container grades?
Generally speaking, physical condition and quality are the only differences between the various container grades. Factors such as the age of the container, amount of usage, damage accrued through that usage, and lifetime exposure to the elements can all affect its condition and quality, but are not perfectly correlated with the container grade.

What color do they come in? Can I request a color?
Used containers come in a few select colors, namely reddish-brown, blue, and green. Newer, one-trip containers are typically a light tan or light grey color. Due to covid-related supply shortages and complications, we don’t have as much control over the types and colors of containers we’re receiving, which means you, too, will be limited in container colors you can pick.
We do offer painting services. We offer tan or light grey options, but if you would like a custom color, we can do any color off of the Sherwin-Williams color board. Custom color is an additional $50.

Are containers rusty?
It depends on the grade of container. “As Is” containers, which are our lowest-graded containers available, may have structural rust, which potentially puts the integrity of the container at risk.
Other, higher-quality containers may have some minor cosmetic rust, such as our “Wind and Watertight” and “Cargo Worthy” grades. “One Trip” containers will be free of rust.
