🔁 Replacement Coverage
If a part of your container needs to be repaired or replaced under warranty, we’ll ensure coverage continues.
The replacement will either be covered for the remainder of your original warranty or five full years from the date of the repair or replacement—whichever gives you the more extended coverage period.
🚫 What’s Not Covered
Our warranty is there to protect you from manufacturing-related issues, but it doesn’t cover everything. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s not included:
Damage caused by misuse, accidents, or careless handling
Skipping regular maintenance or making changes without checking with us
Need a durable container for storage, shipping, or building?
Explore our wide range of new and used containers, backed by trusted quality and fast delivery across the globe.
Damage from extreme weather (like floods, hurricanes, etc.) that goes beyond what containers are designed to handle
Issues caused by moving the container without using the right equipment or taking precautions
Cosmetic stuff—scratches, dings, surface rust—that doesn’t affect how the container works
Anything that happens to the items you store inside (we don’t cover contents)
Heads-up: Once the container’s been delivered and accepted, it’s up to you to keep it in good shape. Leaks or other issues that pop up afterward aren’t something we can cover unless they’re linked to a manufacturing defect.
🛠️ Need to File a Warranty Claim?
No problem—if you think your container qualifies, just follow these steps:
Reach out to our team. Have your invoice number and purchase date ready.
Send us a few photos and a quick write-up of what’s going on.
We’ll take a look and, if needed, arrange a site visit.
If it’s a covered issue, we’ll handle the repair or replacement—on us.
📌 Just make sure the claim is made within the warranty window. The sooner you get in touch, the smoother things go.

🧰 Tips to Maintain Your Warranty
A few simple habits go a long way in keeping your container solid and your warranty valid:
Give it a quick once-over after big storms or if it’s been moved
Keep hinges greased and seals clean—just basic upkeep
Don’t ignore small stuff. A loose seal or door issue today can turn into a bigger headache later
Follow the site prep and usage tips we give you
Hang onto any maintenance notes or service receipts
And if something seems off, even if you’re not sure, it’s better to ask
