Detailed Description

The 9ft cargo worthy shipping container is constructed from Corten steel, a weathering steel formulation that develops a protective oxide layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. This material provides structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, making the container suitable for extended outdoor placement and maritime transport .

Cargo-worthy condition indicates that the container has been inspected for structural condition and suitability for cargo use. Customers should confirm any additional carrier, terminal, or transportation requirements before arranging intermodal shipment.

The compact 9ft length provides approximately 390 cubic feet of storage capacity, making it suitable for locations where larger containers cannot be accommodated . Its compact footprint makes it suitable for locations where larger shipping containers may not fit

The floor system utilizes 28mm thick marine-grade plywood with 19 plies, providing load-bearing capacity suitable for tools, equipment, and palletized goods . Four weatherproof vents promote air circulation and reduce moisture accumulation .

Forklift pockets are positioned along the container base, allowing repositioning with standard forklift equipment . Corner castings at all eight corners enable lifting and stacking with standard handling equipment.
