Choosing the Right Container: New vs. Used

When selecting a 40ft Shipping Container, you'll typically have the option of choosing between a new (one-trip) container and a used container. Here's a brief overview of the advantages of each:

• New (One-Trip) Containers: These containers have only been used once to ship goods from the manufacturer. They are in excellent condition, with minimal wear and tear. New containers offer the longest lifespan and are ideal for applications where appearance and reliability are critical.
• Used Containers: Used containers have been in service for several years and may show signs of wear and tear, such as dents, scratches, and surface rust. However, they are still structurally sound and weatherproof. Used containers are a more economical option for storage and other applications where cosmetic appearance is not a primary concern.

Our team can help you assess your needs and determine the best type of container for your specific application and budget.

Container Modifications and Conversions

One of the great things about shipping containers is their adaptability. They can be easily modified and converted to suit a wide range of purposes. Some common container modifications include:

• Adding Doors and Windows: Create access points and natural light for workshops, offices, or living spaces.
• Insulation: Regulate temperature and reduce condensation for comfortable and climate-controlled environments.
• Electrical Wiring: Install power outlets, lighting, and other electrical systems.
• Plumbing: Add sinks, toilets, and showers for sanitation and hygiene.
• HVAC Systems: Install heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for climate control.
