Frequently Asked Questions

Cargo Worthy (CWO) means the container has been inspected and certified for international ocean shipping according to the Container Safety Convention (CSC) standards.

A CWO container must:

• Be structurally sound with no holes or cracks
• Have working doors with proper seals
• Be wind and water tight
• Have a valid CSC plate

If you plan to export goods or want the highest quality container, choose Cargo Worthy.

Wind & Water Tight (WWT) means the container is completely sealed against the elements but has been retired from active shipping service.

WWT containers:

• Keep your contents dry and protected
• Have functional doors that lock
• May have cosmetic wear (rust, dents)
• Cannot be used for ocean shipping
• Are $300-$500 less than Cargo Worthy

Choose WWT if: You need ground storage, a workshop, or a conversion project where cosmetic condition will be covered anyway.

The main difference is height:

Choose High Cube if:

• You’re building a container home or office
• You need to store tall equipment
• You want maximum cubic capacity
• You plan to add a ceiling or insulation

Choose Standard if:

• Basic storage is your goal
• Budget is the priority
• You have height restrictions on your property

We deliver using tilt-bed trucks that slide the container off at ground level.

Requirements for delivery:

• Level ground (slight slope okay)
• Clear access path at least 12’ wide
• Overhead clearance of 14’ minimum
• Firm surface (gravel, asphalt, or compacted dirt)

The process:

1. You provide your address and we calculate the delivery cost
2. We schedule delivery at a time that works for you
3. Driver calls 30 minutes before arrival
4. Delivery takes about 15-30 minutes
5. You inspect and sign for receipt

Tip: Place railroad ties, concrete blocks, or gravel pads where you want the container to ensure proper drainage.

It depends on your location and intended use.

Generally NO permit needed for:

• Temporary construction storage (usually under 180 days)
• Agricultural/farm use in rural areas
• Some residential areas for storage only

Usually REQUIRES a permit:

• Permanent residential placement
• Container homes or offices
• Commercial properties
• Visible from street in some HOA areas

Our recommendation: Call your local city/county planning department before purchase. Ask about:

• Zoning restrictions
