Frequently asked Questions
What does "wind and watertight" (WWT) mean when buying a used sea can?
WWT means the container has passed strict structural inspections ensuring no light or water can penetrate the container walls, roof, or floor. The door seals remain fully functional, keeping interior contents completely protected from wind, rain, snow, and pests.
What is a "one-trip" container?
A one-trip container is a brand-new container manufactured overseas that has carried cargo across the ocean only once. It arrives in near-mint condition with clean paint, pristine floors, and no structural wear.
How should I prepare my ground surface before my sea can is delivered?
The surface should be flat, solid, and well-drained. Packed gravel, concrete pads, asphalt, or pressure-treated wood blocks placed under the four corners are recommended to keep the container level and off damp soil.
Can you assist with transport and unloading when I buy a container?
Yes! We provide complete delivery and drop-off service using specialized tilt-tray trucks, placing the container exactly where you need it on your property in Sault Ste. Marie or surrounding regions.
