An Inside Look: Discovering the Features and Components of Shipping Containers

These large, steel boxes may seem simple, but they are complex structures designed to withstand the harsh conditions of international shipping. With the rise in demand for shipping containers, it is important to understand the differentiating features and components offered by West Gulf Container.

 

Unlocking Inventory Options

Unlike carriers who may only have a limited number of containers available, one of the biggest advantages of working with a company that specializes in selling shipping containers is the wider selection they offer. West Gulf Container has a vast inventory of new and used shipping containers in various sizes and configurations to match the needs for shipping, storage, or even construction purposes.

 

Different Components for Container Types

West Gulf Container also has specialized options such as double-door containers and open-side containers. Both provide additional access to a standard container so they are ideal for businesses that require easy and convenient access to their stored items. We also have wind and water-tight containers that are perfect for secure storage of goods.

 

Like-New and Larger Clearance Loading

One of the many options we offer is the high cube container, which has an extra foot of height compared to standard containers. This allows for more storage space and can be beneficial for transporting larger or taller items. We also have one-trip containers that are made and loaded overseas and are in like-new condition with no damage or shipping labels. These containers are a popular choice for those looking for a like-new and sturdy container.

 

Uses for a Sturdy Constructed Container

Cargo-worthy containers are inspected and deemed structurally safe for transportation. These containers are often used for construction purposes, such as constructing additional square footage outside of their home or office. Ask about the modification options available to have West Gulf Container modify the shipping container to repurpose the container for an office, tiny home, or guest house.

We offer expert guidance in selecting the best from a wide selection of features, components, and price points, all while upholding a high standard of quality assurance. When purchasing from a carrier, there is always a risk of receiving a damaged or subpar container. However, with West Gulf Container, you can rest assured that our shipping containers are inspected and structurally safe.
