FAQs

What does "non-working refrigerated container" mean?

It means the refrigeration unit is no longer operational. The container still retains its excellent insulation properties, but it will not actively cool or freeze its contents.

Can this container be used for international shipping?

While structurally sound, these used containers are typically sold for static storage or domestic transport and may not meet current international shipping certifications (CSC plating). Please inquire if you have specific shipping requirements.

Is the interior clean?

Our used containers are inspected and cleaned to a basic standard. While they are free of major debris, some signs of previous use may be present. For specific cleanliness requirements, please discuss with our sales team.

What kind of foundation do I need?

A level, stable surface is recommended. Concrete, asphalt, or compacted gravel are ideal. For long-term placement, consider concrete footings or railroad ties to ensure proper drainage and stability.

Can I customize this container?

Absolutely! The insulated walls make it an excellent candidate for modifications like adding windows, doors, electrical wiring, or shelving. CoreBox can also assist with certain modifications; please contact us to discuss your project.
