- New – Factory direct from Asia, your new container has been shipped to Australia containing cargo, in order to reduce shipping costs. These new units are often referred to as “one-way” new builds.
- A Grade – Previously used, but in good condition and suitable for furniture or archive storage. Average age of unit would be 10-12 years.
- Cargo Worthy – Previously used and typically sold in “as is” condition. These containers are fresh out of service from shipping lines, and will be in a wind and watertight / cargo worthy condition. These containers can be certified (upon request, charges will apply) for international shipment, or for local rail use. Cargo Worthy units are secure (can be fitted with a lock box for added peace of mind) and are a good choice when practicality and budget override presentation.
At Gateway, we class the majority of our containers as either New, A Grade or Cargo Worthy rather than as the blanket “B Grade” class (offered by most resellers) which is not always an accurate representation of what your container will be. If you have any more questions on the differences between the containers, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
