Shipping Container Maintenance Checklist
Use a practical inspection routine after buying a sea can, adjusted for climate, use and manufacturer guidance.
Small coating failures spread
Scrapes and active corrosion are easier to address early.
Door changes are diagnostic
New binding can signal hardware wear, debris or an out-of-level base.
Create a repeatable inspection record
Photograph roof edges, rails, repairs, seals and supports from safe positions. Record changes so gradual deterioration is easier to see.
Match work to materials and use
Use suitable cleaning, lubricants and coating systems, and follow product guidance. Structural damage, unsafe access or uncertain contamination deserves professional help.
