Shipping containers, used for transporting goods by sea, rail, and road, are categorized into various grades based on their condition and suitability for different purposes. These grades provide a quick understanding of a container's physical state and history, particularly relevant in the second-hand market where containers are often repurposed for storage, offices, homes, etc. Here are the common grades:

• New/One-Trip
  • Description: These containers have been manufactured and used for one single trip to transport goods. They are practically new and have minimal wear and tear.
  • Usage: Ideal for modifications into homes, offices, or retail spaces due to their excellent condition.
• A Grade (Cargo Worthy)
  • Description: Containers in this category are in good condition, structurally sound, and certified for international cargo transport. They may have minor cosmetic imperfections.
  • Usage: Suitable for shipping, storage, and various modification projects.
• B Grade (Wind and Watertight, WWT)
  • Description: Although they might have dents, rust, and patches, B grade containers are wind and watertight, ensuring the protection of goods stored inside from the elements.
  • Usage: Commonly used for storage purposes where the aesthetic appearance is not a primary concern.
• C Grade
  • Description: These containers have visible wear and tear, including significant rust, dents, and possibly repairs. While they can be watertight, their structural integrity might not meet the standards for cargo transport.
  • Usage: Often repurposed for storage or as a base for projects where the container will be significantly modified or reinforced.
• D Grade (As Is)
  • Description: D grade containers are sold "as is" and have significant damage or wear, including holes, major rust, and structural problems. They are not suitable for transport or secure storage without repairs.
  • Usage: Typically bought for scrap, parts, or highly specialized projects where the container will undergo extensive modifications.
• Refrigerated or "Reefer" Containers.
  • Description: While not a grade, refrigerated containers are specialized for transporting perishable goods. They are graded similarly in terms of their condition and operational status of the refrigeration unit.
• Special Equipment
  • Description: This category includes containers with specific modifications for particular cargo types, such as open tops, flat racks, and tank containers. Like reefers, their grading considers both condition and functionality.

• Logistics Planning: The delivery method is planned based on the container’s destination and the site’s accessibility. Factors like road width, overhead obstructions, and the turning radius are considered.
• Transportation: Containers are delivered using specialized vehicles, such as tilt-bed trucks, which can slide the container off the bed onto the ground, or standard flatbed trucks, which may require external equipment like cranes or forklifts at the delivery site for offloading.
• Site Preparation: Buyers must ensure the delivery site is prepared with a suitable, level foundation and adequate space for the container and the delivery vehicle to maneuver.
• Costs Involved: The delivery cost is typically based on the distance from the container depot or yard to the delivery site, with longer distances resulting in higher fees. Additional charges may apply for expedited delivery, challenging delivery locations, or if specialized equipment is needed for offloading.
