A Quick Guide for Smarter Storage Decisions

When choosing a shipping container - whether for on-site storage, conversion, or a workspace - it helps to understand the different grades and what they mean for your project.

Almar’s downloadable guide (see below) offers a clear breakdown of each grade, making it easier to compare options and select what best suits your needs.
This guide covers:

Typical certifications and buyer profiles.
Images showing real examples of Grade A, B, and C containers to help you visualise the differences
Having this knowledge up front helps you make a more informed decision and ensures the container you choose is fit for purpose.
