What does its container grade have?
The state of SCF Containers depends on their grade. These range from brand-new constructions that have just left the factory to considerably older builds that have a few or many aesthetic flaws and structural problems. Although shipping containers manufacture to resist harsh environments for a long time, exposure to sunlight, rain, persistent moisture, and winds will likely lead to natural deterioration. Heavy machinery on site or during transportation could also harm them.
If you are purchasing a shipping container for your use, it might be challenging to determine the exact container you are obtaining. A container grade AA must be a new build, not the best one available in your area or supplier’s yard. SCF offers distinct containers, such as:
- New Container

- There will be no more than 95% marks within.
- The floor will be clean and free of transferrable stains, although there may be some transport-related scuffs.

- Anyone who has just arrived at the depot with a child of five falls into this grade.
