Why Choose a 2008 CIMC Container?

Dimensions and Technical Specifications

Based on verified data for 2008 CIMC 20ft dry vans, Model CCR18113 delivers the following specifications :

2008 Build Quality and Condition

A 2008 container has approximately 16-18 years of potential service history. For example, typical used 2008 CIMC containers exhibit cosmetic wear consistent with their age – minor dents, surface scratches, and faded paint. Likewise, the original CSC plate remains valid, and the container maintains wind and watertight integrity (certifiable as WWT). If you require a pristine unit for retail display, consider a one-trip or new container. For cost-effective storage, this 2008 CIMC offers exceptional value.

CSC Certification and Structural Compliance

The CSC safety plate confirms that this 2008 CIMC container meets International Convention for Safe Containers standards. For example, the plate certifies that the container has passed structural tests for stacking (up to 8 high), lifting, and floor strength . Likewise, the CSC certification allows legal transport on ships, trains, and trucks. If you need to relocate the container overseas, this certification makes international shipping possible. Thus, you gain flexibility for both static storage and transport.
