ISO Containers For Sale
What is an ISO Shipping Container?
All ISO containers are designed and built in strict accordance with the specifications set down by the International Standards Organisation, to ensure these containers can safely withstand the rigours of global transport by road, rail and sea. Without this regimentation, container transportation would not only be chaotic but potentially unsafe. Therefore it is essential that any shipping container used for international shipping holds certification to show it is up to standard. This certification is known as a CSC (Container Safety Convention) plate, which you can think of as a container MOT, or passport to travel. However, many ISO containers end up being sold off by shipping lines to be used as storage containers. Due to the nature of their travel these metal boxes are incredibly strong, watertight and theft-proof, which is why they make the ideal storage container.
