Shipping containers can last up to twenty years. It is important to ensure that they are maintained. This means that any holes, dents or major areas of corrosion should be addressed prior to being used. We conduct an extensive inspection of all of our second-hand containers before they leave our depots. We ensure whether they are wind and water secure, that there aren't holes or large areas of rust, and that the doors are functioning. We also verify their structural soundness and whether they can be able to withstand a voyage over the high seas.
The majority of our used containers are in good condition, and we only sell the top 10-15%. Buying second-hand will save you money and the environment. Reusing an existing container will keep it out of an empty scrap yard and will reduce the emissions of embodied carbon from its manufacturing. In addition, you'll be reusing an item that's traveled on the high seas and could be a durable building material during its lifetime in the shipping fleet.
