Container size price guides
Length and height affect supply, usable capacity and the price of the unit itself.
Browse by condition
Condition and grade price guides
Condition names are not interchangeable. Refurbished describes work; WWT, cargo-worthy and IICL describe different grade or inspection concepts.
Browse by type
Standard and specialty container prices
Door configuration, insulation, refrigeration machinery and office fit-out can move pricing far beyond a standard dry container.
Before comparing quotes
Keep the unit and extras clear
Prices only make sense when the size, grade, configuration and included services match.
Keep grades distinct
As-is, WWT, cargo-worthy, IICL, refurbished and one-trip units should not be blended into one average.
Confirm local stock
Northern, island and specialty inventory can be limited, so confirm that the exact unit is available before making plans.
