How long is quoted pricing valid?

Standard quotes hold 14 days. Master agreements can lock pricing up to 12 months against a committed volume.

Case study

$4.8M saved on a 340-unit rollout

A West-African renewable-energy contractor needed 220x 20ft DC and 120x 40ft HC units on 6 sites in under 90 days. Our wholesale desk pooled inventory from three depots, staged reefer-ready mods, and coordinated 47 sailings - saving 18% versus spot-market pricing and shaving 6 weeks off delivery.

Global sourcing

Inventory pooled across four depots

Large orders rarely fit inside one depot's stock. Our wholesale desk pools live inventory across California, Marseille, Piraeus and Perth, then coordinates staggered dispatch so you receive units where and when your project actually needs them - not when a single depot happens to have them.

  • 12,000+ unit rolling stock across four depots
  • Cross-depot allocation on every quote
  • Staggered dispatch aligned to build phases
  • Emergency top-up from interchange partners

Quality assurance

Certified condition on every unit

Fleet buyers can't afford surprises at the gate. Every unit shipped on a wholesale PO carries a photo-documented IICL-6 inspection, a CSC plate (where applicable), and full traceability back to the last five leases - so your QA team signs off in minutes.

  • IICL-6 photo inspection report per unit
  • CSC plate & structural warranty on new stock
  • Serial-level history for used inventory
  • Buyer / third-party inspection windows on request
