If you are looking to purchase a steel shipping container, you are probably trying to decide between buying a one trip new shipping container or a cargo worthy or WWT wind and water tight container. Most customers find that used shipping containers suit their needs and their budget more than a new container, but everyone's needs are slightly different. If you are just looking to keep a shipping container on a construction site or farm to store some things, a WWT wind and waterproof storage container should suit your needs just fine, while also saving you thousands of dollars compared to a new one trip container.
If you are planning to use the conex containers to build a home, building, office or retail space, then you will likely need one trip containers. If you are stacking containers you need to make sure that they are either cargo worthy or one trip containers that are certified to stack on top of each other. Used containers can be refurbished, repaired and inspected to ensure that they meet your specific needs.
One trip, new steel shipping containers are the top of the line when it comes to purchasing a conex container. These are typically manufactured in China, and sent to the US carrying cargo on a ship, then sold once they arrive. They are in the best condition of all available shipping containers for sale. You will find some minor imperfections such as light scratches and possibly even a few small dents, but in general they look brand new. It can be difficult to find one trip containers as inventory is often limited, and the costs are also higher compared to used steel storage containers.
