Do your shipping containers require any special care or maintenance?

Regularly inspect your container for damage as well as non-operative and unsafe conditions.

Shipping containers require relatively little maintenance. New one-trip shipping containers require the least amount of maintenance. We recommend spending a few minutes every few years oiling the door hinges and locking bars to ensure smooth opening and closing. In addition to oiling, older containers may need repainting or patches as dents or surface rust appear.

When you rent containers from us, we recommend regularly inspecting your units for damage, defects and hazards so we can fix it for you as soon as possible. If you notice any problems, contact your dedicated container expert to notify us of any repairs needed to prevent safety hazards or damage to your contents and we'll send one of our fabrication experts to fix any problems.
