Shipping Container Guarantee

Before you place an order, we advise reviewing our detailed catalog. Unlike brokers who sell generic “file photos,” we strive to represent the exact condition of the grade you are purchasing. Whether you need a One-Trip (New) unit for a pristine conversion or a Wind & Watertight (WWT) unit for rugged storage, our descriptions align with industry-standard grading criteria. If the container delivered does not match the quoted grade—a rarity in our operations—we will replace it at our earliest opportunity.

Buying a container is a logistical decision, not just a purchase. “Knowledge is power” only when it applies to your specific project. Our team doesn’t just sell; we consult. We help you navigate critical specs—such as the difference between High Cube vs. Standard height for machinery clearance, or verifying CSC Plate validity for export use. We ensure the equipment you buy is technically capable of performing the job you need it to do.

Modifying a shipping container requires engineering precision, not just a welding torch. When we customize units—installing roll-up doors, windows, or HVAC—we adhere to strict fabrication standards. We ensure that cutting into the Cor-Ten steel walls does not compromise the unit’s structural load-bearing capacity. We reinforce openings with proper steel framing, ensuring your modified office or home remains safe, stackable, and durable for decades.

Purchasing a shipping container is a capital investment. At Pelican Containers, we mitigate risk through a rigorous audit process. We don’t just “look it over”; we inspect every unit against established criteria, including IICL-6 (for leasing standards) and CII (Cargo Worthy) protocols. Check our dimensions guide to ensure site compatibility before delivery.

Our Inspection Checklist Includes:
• Verifying door seals and locking gear functionality.
• Checking understructure cross-members for severe corrosion.
• Ensuring floors are free of holes and contamination.
• Confirming the unit is Wind & Watertight (daylight test).
