General

What is Bolt Containers?

Bolt Containers is a shipping container sales company offering fast delivery and competitive pricing for residential, commercial, and industrial clients.

What types of containers do you offer?

We offer a wide range including:

  • Standard dry containers (20ft, 40ft)
  • High cube containers
  • Open top containers (soft & hard top)
  • Refrigerated (reefer) containers
What other equipments do you offer?
  • Chassis (gooseneck, tri-axle, etc.)
  • Gensets (Clip-on and Undermount)
What's the difference between a new and a used container?

New (one-trip) containers have minimal wear and very few cosmetic issues. Used containers may have surface rust, dents, and dings but are still structurally sound — we guarantee no leaks, proper door seals, and hole-free floors.

Do you sell brand new or used containers?

Both.

One-trip (new): Used once, near-perfect condition
Cargo-worthy (CW): Wind & watertight, suitable for shipping/storage
As-is: Budget-friendly, best for static storage

What does “cargo-worthy” mean?

It means the container is structurally sound, weatherproof, and suitable for international shipping.

What is “New/One-trip” container?

A container that has only been used once to ship cargo from origin (usually Asia to US/PH). It’s the closest to brand new.

Returns Policy

At Bolt Containers, customer satisfaction is our priority. Because all sales are made on an AS-IS basis and handling and redelivery costs are substantial, we are unable to accept returns — unless a container fails to meet its stated grade criteria.
You can purchase with confidence. Every container goes through a comprehensive inspection in accordance with CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) guidelines, graded accordingly, and certified by a licensed Container Inspector — a credential we proudly hold in-house.
