Used Shipping Containers are anywhere from 9-14 years old, and will be ex-shipping lines containers. This means they will have travelled and been handled in different ports across the world, leading to signs of wear and tear e.g. dents, scrapes, surface rust and patch repairs. However, all of our used containers will be structurally sound and watertight, and are covered under our 12 month watertight warranty. These containers are ideal if you are working on a tight budget or if the appearance of the container isn't as important.
Once-Used Shipping Containers have only been used once to transport the shipping container from the country of manufacture to the Australia or Europe. Although these shipping containers are considered "new" in the shipping industry, they are also referred to as "Once-Used" or "One Trip" due to their one transportation journey. As they will have been filled with cargo to make the journey cost effective and then handled once in port, minor scrapes (particularly on the corner castings) and the odd dent may be visible.
New Shipping Containers are either newly fabricated units manufactured in our in-house depot, such as our CarTainers, SlimLine Containers and Extra Wide Containers, or our additional container products like the flat pack container range and our portable toilets.
Delivery of a shipping container is unlike the delivery of your usual parcel! In order to provide a smooth delivery, we only use vehicles with hiab cranes to deliver our containers. As standard, we use Artic lorries (approx. 65ft long) or a Wagon and Drag (a 39ft long Rigid lorry with an additional 20ft long trailer behind), which enables us to pair up deliveries in order to keep your transport cost as effective as possible! We are able to provide dedicated deliveries on small vehicles upon request if your site can't accommodate the standard vehicle. Ask one of our sales team for advice if you're unsure of your site access.

We are usually booking transport at least three to five days ahead, but at times this can be longer.
