Cargo-worthy, CSC plate, gooseneck tunnel, cam rod lock. The container trade runs on words nobody explains to you. Here they are, defined honestly.
Buying a used shipping container means reading listings written in a vocabulary you were never taught. Grades sound official but are not standardized. Parts have names that come off a cargo ship. Delivery equipment has three names depending on who is talking.
These definitions are written from a working yard in Woodlawn, Virginia. Where a term is used loosely in the trade, or means different things to different dealers, we say so, because that gap is exactly where people get sold the wrong box.
Tell us the size and where it is going and we will give you a delivered price you can plan around.
Same-day reply. We'll send a real number, a real delivery window, and any photos we need to confirm fit.
You'll hear back from us today (or first thing tomorrow if it's late). For anything urgent, call (276) 237-6144.
