What cargo worthy means
Cargo worthy is a real standard, not a sales word. The container is structurally sound, the floor is solid, the doors seal, and it is wind and water tight. It has spent ten to fifteen years crossing oceans, so expect dents, scrapes and surface rust outside. Inside it is dry and ready to use. Rusted through panels never make it into the yard.
Standard or high cube
Height, and nothing else. A standard container is 8 ft 6 in tall outside; a high cube is 9 ft 6 in, which puts clear interior height at roughly 8 ft 10 in and gives a taller door opening on the same footprint. That one foot is the difference between ducking under a shelf and walking to the back of the box.
Door options
A standard container has one set of cargo doors at one end. Double doors put cargo doors at both ends and turn the box into a drive through. A tri-door adds a side door set to one end. A man door with a rooftop vent is the one to pick if you will be walking in and out all day and want air moving in summer.
Before your container arrives
Delivery day takes minutes when the spot is ready
We check the approach before anything is scheduled. You prepare a level base. The tilt bed does the rest, and the driver confirms the doors swing cleanly before leaving.
