A shipping container is typically composed of steel. The walls, roof, and floor are all made of this material. Steel is used in shipping containers because it is strong, durable, and can withstand harsh weather conditions. Additionally, steel is resistant to fire, pests, and corrosion. Some shipping containers may also have wood flooring, but the majority of the container remains steel. Overall, the use of steel ensures that shipping containers are strong and long-lasting, capable of transporting goods across the world's oceans.

At Alpha Group Containers, we offer both new and used shipping containers depending on your specific needs.

IICL: (As recommended by the International Institute of Container Lessors.) IICL used shipping containers meet the highest quality, uniform standards and are suitable for prolonged international marine use, ground level storage, and modifications.

Cargo-worthy: – (Not repaired or maintained in accordance with IICL guidelines.) Cargo-worthy used shipping containers are a great option for ground level storage and modifications. These used containers are also suitable for international marine use, but first need to be physically inspected and certified by a third-party container surveyor.  These shipping containers may have minor surface rust and dents.

Wind and watertight: (A slightly lower standard than cargo-worthy.) These used shipping containers may not meet international marine use standards but are wind and water-tight, and a good choice for ground level storage. These shipping containers may have minor surface rust and dents.

As is where is: As is where is containers are sold in their current condition, which can include dents, rust, holes in the floor, and other interior irregularities or missing components. Suitable for fencing, walls, barriers, and other non-transportation applications.

Shipping containers are widely used for various purposes. One of the most common uses is for transporting goods overseas. They are also popular for storage solutions, as they are both secure and weather-resistant. Many creative minds have repurposed shipping containers into living spaces, workspaces, and even swimming pools. Shipping containers are also utilized for emergency shelters, hospital facilities, and military bases. With their versatility and durability, shipping containers have become a preferred choice for building projects. Whether for transportation, storage, or construction, shipping containers offer a reliable and practical solution for multiple needs.

If you are planning to install a new container or modify an existing one, you might wonder if it requires a survey report. The answer depends on several factors, such as the size and type of your container, the intended use, and the local regulations. In general, it is advisable to consult with a professional engineer or surveyor to determine if a survey report is necessary. They can evaluate the potential risks, provide recommendations, and ensure compliance with the relevant standards and codes. Contact us today to learn more about our survey report services and how we can assist you with your container project.

Alpha Group Containers outsources its delivery service to third-party trucking companies. Containers can be delivered by either flatbed, tilt-bed, low-boy (low-bed) trailer, or chassis. Please note container delivery by flatbed, low-boy (low-bed) trailer, or chassis requires a forklift or crane at the delivery site. Alternatively, you can arrange for pick-up at Interport using a trucking company of your choice.

Planning ahead for your container delivery can ensure a smooth and successful drop-off. To prepare the ground for your container, make sure the surface is level and clear of any obstructions such as trees or power lines. If the site is uneven, consider using gravel or concrete pads to level it out. Additionally, ensure there is enough clearance space for the delivery truck to maneuver and drop off the container. By taking these steps, you can ensure a successful and hassle-free container delivery experience.

For tilt-bed delivery of containers, it's important to ensure you have enough space for the delivery truck to maneuver. The minimum required space for tilt-bed delivery is about 70 feet in a straight line, with additional width needed for the truck to move in and out. This means that a typical 20-foot container should be delivered with at least 100 feet of open space. It's also important to consider any obstacles that may obstruct the delivery truck's path, such as trees, fences, or power lines. Planning ahead and ensuring enough space is available can help ensure a smooth delivery.
