Available in 20ft and 40ft. Precise temperature control for produce, seafood, pharmaceuticals, and cold chain cargo. Suitable for active transport or stationary storage. ISO certified, inspected prior to release.

Specialized Units (Open Top)

Open-top containers remove the fixed roof, allowing crane-loaded or oversized cargo that can't be loaded through standard doors. Built for heavy manufacturing, mining, and project freight. Available in 20ft and 40ft. Contact our team for availability and pricing.

Specialized Units (Flat Rack)

Flat-rack containers strip the unit down to a reinforced platform with collapsible end walls, purpose-built for heavy, out-of-gauge, and irregularly shaped cargo. Widely used in oil and gas, heavy equipment, and project logistics. Contact our team for availability and pricing.

How it works

Step 1: Request an Account

Contact our sales team to find the right unit. Once confirmed, you'll receive an invitation to Container Reserve — our client portal where you can review full order details including condition, specs, depot information, and download your invoice before completing payment.

Step 2: Complete Payment

Once payment is confirmed or your lease agreement is finalized, your Gate Release document is generated automatically. It includes your unique release code, depot contact details, and pickup instructions — everything you need to collect your container.

Step 3: Receive Gate Release

Every confirmed purchase or approved lease generates a Gate Release PDF — available in your Container Reserve account — with a unique release code and full depot contact details. For release support call +1 888 522 0797 option 3.

Step 4: Arrange Delivery

Need it delivered? Contact imx-domestic@inmanmaritime.com to arrange delivery after payment is confirmed. For lease applicants, delivery costs can be bundled directly into your lease agreement.
