Buying a shipping container involves more than choosing a size. Container condition, intended use, delivery access and budget can all affect which option is right for you.
At Y-Containers, we provide product information to help customers understand what they are purchasing before placing an order. Current inventory, pricing, condition and specifications vary by product, so always review the individual product listing before purchasing.
Choose the Right Container Size
The right container size depends on your intended use, available space and delivery location.
20ft Containers
A practical option for general storage, equipment, tools, construction materials and locations where space is more limited.
40ft Containers
Provide greater storage capacity and are commonly used for commercial, agricultural, construction and larger storage applications.
High Cube Containers
Provide additional interior height compared with standard containers and may be useful when extra vertical clearance or storage capacity is required.
Other sizes and configurations may be available depending on our current inventory. Visit our Shop to see products currently available.
New vs. Used Containers
New / One-Trip Containers generally have limited previous shipping use and typically show less wear than used containers.
Used Containers have previously been in service and may show signs of use such as dents, scratches, faded paint, surface rust, markings or previous repairs.
Used containers can provide a practical option for storage, construction, agricultural and commercial applications.
Always review the condition information and available photos on the individual product page before purchasing.
Understanding Container Condition
Container condition can vary significantly, particularly with used units.
Common descriptions include:
New / One-Trip — Containers with limited previous shipping use that generally show less wear.
Cargo Worthy — Used containers identified as suitable for cargo transportation based on applicable condition or inspection requirements where specifically stated.
Wind & Watertight — Used containers intended to provide enclosed storage protection when properly closed. Cosmetic wear may still be present.
As-Is — Containers sold in their current condition. Carefully review the product description, photos and applicable warranty and return terms before purchasing.
Always rely on the condition stated on the individual product listing.
