Frequently Asked Questions
What's a used container?
We only accept used shipping containers that are at least ten years old. They are remain weatherproof and structurally sound even after being sent overseas for their entire life. No matter its age, a used shipping container will endure a long time—it should last more than 20 years with minimal maintenance after the date of purchase.
Why buy a container from TP Containers?
We are top provider of both new and used shipping containers for sale. With over a decade of expertise in the field, our team is more than willing to help with any question, no matter how big or small. We provide everything from traditional self-storage options to custom modifications.
Are shipping containers weatherproof?
The goal of shipping containers is to safely carry cargo around the globe. As a result, the doors have complete wraparound seals that make them watertight. Nevertheless, shipping containers sink in water; they do not float.
What is the weight of a shipping container?
The weight of an empty container, or its average tare weight, varies based on its size but is typically in the range of 20 feet 2.5 tonnes, 30 feet 3 tonnes, and 40 feet 4 tonnes.
Can shipping containers be stacked?
Open top containers cannot be stacked, but any of our standard or high cube shipping containers may. We offer twist lock pins if stacking your containers is necessary, which securely fastens them on top of one another.
To what extent are shipping containers secure?
The construction of shipping containers emphasizes strength and security. If padlocks are used on locking bars and they are broken, security may be jeopardized. To stop unwanted entry, we advise using a lockbox and a high security padlock that has been authorized. We offer the CEN 4-rated (high security) Squire Stronghold container padlock, which fits inside a lockbox to protect your container and its contents. For further piece of mind, extra security features can be incorporated, such as wireless or portable alarms.
