If you are considering purchasing containers, you need to do some research to make sure you purchase the correct model. When buying second hand, check the condition of the windows and doors to ensure they're in working order and are sealed properly. Additionally, inspect the body of the container for holes or major dents. Check that all operating mechanisms are in good shape.
