What container sizes does CIMIC supply?

Our reefer, dry and insulated lines are available in 10ft, 20ft, 20ft high cube, 40ft and 40ft high cube. Half-height, side open door, roll-up door, open-top, offshore and modular containers are built to project specifications.

Which refrigeration unit brands are available on your reefer containers?

We supply reefer containers fitted with Thermo King, Daikin and Carrier refrigeration units across our new and used ranges. Share your cargo set-point and on-site power supply so our engineers can recommend the right unit.

What certifications do your containers and factory hold?

CIMIC holds an ISO quality management certificate and a BV (Bureau Veritas) shipping certificate. Our offshore dry cargo containers are manufactured in compliance with DNV certification. ISO containers used in international transport should carry a valid CSC safety approval plate, and we confirm the documentation of each unit before shipment.

What is the difference between a reefer container and an insulated container?

A reefer container has an integrated refrigeration unit that actively cools or heats cargo to a set temperature and needs a power supply. An insulated container uses thickened foam walls to slow temperature change passively, with no power required, which suits shorter routes and temperature-sensitive cargo that does not need active freezing.

Are your used containers inspected before sale?

Our second-hand containers are units retired from shipping line fleets and are stored at various ports in China. We share photos and condition details of the specific unit you are buying so you can verify structure, doors, floor and, for reefers, the refrigeration unit before shipment.

Do you accept OEM, ODM and custom container orders?

Yes. We build tailor-made OEM and ODM containers and provide one-to-one engineering support. Stock and used units can usually be ordered in small quantities, while the minimum order quantity for custom builds depends on the specification.

Product Description

Product Introduction

It is mainly composed of side panels, end panels, top panels, bottom panels and frames. The side panels and end panels are usually made of corrugated steel plates. This structure can provide sufficient strength and reduce the weight of the container to a certain extent. The top and bottom panels have to bear the weight of the goods and need to have good load-bearing capacity. The frame structure includes corner columns and beams, which are the main supporting parts of the container to ensure the stability of the container during stacking and transportation. Generally, a pair of double doors are set at one end, and the size of the door is designed to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods. The door is connected to the box body through hinges and is equipped with locks to ensure that the door can be closed tightly to prevent the goods from falling or being affected by the external environment during transportation. At the same time, there are usually sealing strips around the door to ensure the sealing of the container and prevent rain, dust, etc. from entering the box.

Key Advantages

Fast Delivery Cycle

Compared with custom-made new containers, the delivery cycle of second-hand containers is faster. Since there is no need to wait for manufacturing, the container can be put into use once the transaction procedures are completed. For occasions where containers are urgently needed for cargo transportation or storage, this advantage of fast delivery can quickly respond to customer needs.

Complete Basic Functions

Most second-hand containers can still maintain good basic functions after proper inspection and repair. For example, the sealing performance of dry cargo containers can still effectively prevent rainwater, dust, etc. from entering the box, ensuring the dryness and cleanliness of the goods. For cargo transportation and storage, these basic functions of second-hand containers can meet the needs of most ordinary goods.

Reduced Transportation Expenses

In the field of transportation, using second-hand containers is an effective way to reduce transportation costs. Due to the low purchase cost of containers, for those cargo transportation that do not have particularly strict requirements on the service life of containers, such as construction materials and waste items, the use of second-hand containers can significantly reduce the investment in transportation equipment while ensuring the basic functions of transportation, thereby reducing the overall transportation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What details should be paid attention to when buying a second-hand dry cargo container?

Container structural integrity: Carefully check whether the side panels, end panels and top panels of the container have dents, deformations, cracks or perforations.

Internal frame condition: Check the internal frame structure, including the top beam and side columns, etc., to ensure that they are not deformed or damaged and can withstand the weight of the cargo and the impact during transportation.

Q What can used dry cargo containers be used for?

Cargo transportation: The original purpose of used dry cargo containers is to transport dry cargo. They can carry a variety of dry cargo products through various modes of transportation, such as sea transportation, land transportation (rail transportation and road transportation).

Q How do sealing strips protect cargo during transit?

The sealing strips around the door frame ensure the airtight and watertight sealing of the container, effectively preventing rainwater, wind-driven moisture, and dust from entering the box and maintaining a clean, dry interior for goods.

Q Are second-hand containers suitable for heavy cargo stacking?

Yes. The structural frame, including corner columns and load-bearing beams, is engineered with corrugated steel plates to provide structural strength and stability, ensuring containers can be stacked safely during transport and yard staging.

Q Why choose a used dry container instead of a brand new one?

Second-hand containers significantly reduce procurement and transportation costs while maintaining fully verified load-bearing performance. They are readily available in inventory, completely bypassing factory manufacturing wait times.
