New, used or conversion grade
All our containers are wind and watertight and cargo-worthy. The grade reflects the cosmetic condition.
New (one-trip)
Made one voyage from the manufacturer (also called a one-trip container), so it is as close to brand new as you can get. Ideal when appearance matters or for long-term use.
Used cargo-worthy
Circulating stock containers that have been used for shipping and remain structurally sound. The most cost-effective choice for storage.
Conversion grade
Our recommended grade C for conversions: sound, watertight and priced so more of your budget goes into the fit-out.

Delivery
Getting your container on site
We deliver with our own crane trucks. A few simple checks make delivery quick and safe.
Site access
Make sure the gate and access road are wide enough for a 12m crane truck, with room to manoeuvre.
A level surface
Prepare a firm, level area for the container so the doors open and close properly.
Overhead clearance
Check for power lines and trees above the placement area. Not sure? We can inspect the site for you.

FAQ
Buying a container: your questions
What sizes do you sell?
We sell 6m (20ft) and 12m (40ft) containers in standard and high cube heights. High cube containers are about 300mm taller.
What is the difference between new and used containers?
A new container has made one voyage from the manufacturer (also called a one-trip container) and is almost as new. Used containers are circulating stock containers used for shipping; they are cargo-worthy, wind and watertight, with cosmetic wear that is reflected in the grade and price.
Can I see the container before I buy?
Yes. Facility inspections are welcome. Contact us to arrange a time to view stock at our Brakpan factory.
Do you deliver?
Yes, across Gauteng and South Africa with our own crane trucks. The delivery cost depends on distance and is included in your quote.
Can you modify the container I buy?
Yes. We can add doors, windows, shelving, insulation, electrics and more, or convert it into a complete office or workshop.
