Types of Used Shipping Containers Available in Kolkata

Kolkata’s container market is as diverse as the city itself. Each used container for sale in Kolkata comes in a unique size and shape. At Pelican Containers, you can find:

  • Standard containers. These are simple but effective and always ready to take on any load
  • High cubes. They stand a little taller, providing extra space for your large cargo.
  • Open tops. Perfect for loading in those bulky items when normal doors don’t work.

  • Flat rack containers. Flat, open, and ready for any task.

  • Container chassis. Their purpose is to carry your shipping container.

Pelican Containers are an amazing company to work with! From the sales rep to the delivery driver, they all worked with a very high level of integrity. This America based business answered the phone when we called, they checked up and followed through with all our requests. We had daily communication with the sales rep during the purchase process. When the driver was on his way with our delivery, and he knew that he was running behind, he called to let us know a more exact time he would arrive. He was easy to work with and was not in a hurry to off load the containers. He was thorough with the placement of the containers, making sure that they were where we wanted them. We will do business with this company again!
