Confidence in Every Container Purchase
At GSL LOGISTICS, we stand behind the quality and integrity of the shipping containers and container solutions we supply. We understand that purchasing a shipping container is a significant investment, whether for commercial storage, industrial operations, construction projects, agricultural use, or modular development.
Our Warranty Policy is designed to provide customers with clarity regarding warranty coverage, limitations, responsibilities, and the process for addressing qualifying warranty concerns.
This policy applies to eligible container purchases made directly through GSL LOGISTICS unless otherwise stated in writing.
Standard Warranty Coverage
12-Month Limited Structural Warranty
GSL LOGISTICS provides a 12-Month Limited Structural Warranty on eligible new and used shipping containers from the date of delivery.
This warranty is intended to cover structural defects that significantly affect the intended use and functionality of the container under normal operating conditions.
The warranty period begins on the date the container is delivered to the customer.
What the Warranty Covers
Subject to inspection and approval, the warranty may cover:
Structural Integrity Issues
- Structural failures affecting the container’s usability
- Significant defects in the container frame
- Structural defects affecting safe operation under normal use
Door Functionality
- Manufacturing-related defects affecting door operation
- Defects preventing normal opening or closing under standard use
Weather Resistance
- Significant structural defects resulting in abnormal water intrusion not caused by damage, modifications, or misuse after delivery
Manufacturing Defects
For eligible new or one-trip containers, warranty coverage may include manufacturing-related defects discovered during the warranty period.
New Container Warranty Coverage
New or one-trip containers typically offer the highest level of structural reliability and may qualify for full warranty coverage under this policy.
Coverage applies only under normal use conditions and according to the intended purpose of the container.
Used Container Warranty Coverage
Used containers are sold based on their condition classification at the time of sale.
While used containers are carefully evaluated before sale, minor cosmetic wear consistent with age and prior service is expected and does not constitute a warranty issue.
Warranty coverage for used containers remains limited to qualifying structural concerns that materially affect functionality.
What Is Not Covered
The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or conditions that naturally occur over time.
Examples include:
Cosmetic Conditions
- Scratches
- Surface rust
- Paint fading
- Dents
- Minor cosmetic imperfections
- Previous repair marks
These conditions are common within the shipping container industry and do not affect structural performance.
Customer Modifications
The warranty becomes void if the container has been modified, including but not limited to:
- Welding
- Cutting
- Structural alterations
- Installation of doors or windows
- Roofing modifications

Environmental Factors

Customer Responsibilities
