Shipping containers are produced in the Far East, with new ‘one trip’ shipping containers are manufactured, then have one cargo trip over to the UK before being re-sold. This explains the term ‘one-trip’ which is often used to describe ‘new’ condition containers. Most of our 20ft new build shipping containers for sale are typically less than 6 months old when re-sold, they have only been used once. Our used shipping containers are typically 10-15 years old from date of manufacture that will have been used to ship cargo to and from various depots throughout the world, then sold on. They are usually picked on a next from stack basis.
