Yellow Deck sells shipping containers for shipping:

The distinction is we only sell GRADE A, marine surveyed & certified containers for shipping. We don’t sell container that leak, have bad doors, or are just good enough for storage. Our containers are late model yr.2000 or newer. We make sure you have a good roof, doors, & floors. The structural integrity is inspected and certified by an independent container marine surveyor.

Refrigerated Container Details:

The refrigerated containers we sell are 1996-2002 typically. The refrigeration unit is a Carrier 69NT40 Micro Link II. We inspect, repair or replace components to provide a good cargo worthy reefer container that cools well.  Once serviced a reefer container should reach -10°.  We run the reefers for 8 hours to ensure good operation and no alarms. The price of a 40’ and 20’ reefer container is typically the same. The reefer container exterior comes in either aluminum or steel sheet metal body. The interior is stainless steel walls and T slotted aluminum floor. They come standard with double swing doors.

Pickup and Delivery:

We can assist in coordinating pickup and delivery of your container to your freight forwarder and shipping line.

Surveyors and Certification:

The surveyors we use are respected and certificates accepted by all local South Florida shipping lines.  Any container you purchase to ship with your cargo will require making a booking specifying “SHIPPER OWNED CONTAINER”. The lines will request the certified inspection certificate for the container prior to authorizing the booking.  All containers for shipping must have a VALID CSC plate.
