REFURBISHED SHIPPING CONTAINER​

Refurbished shipping container is a used Wind and Water (WWT) container or better that has been prepped, primed and repainted. Refurbishing gives a shipping container a new lease on life and can extend the lifespan of the container.

What is a refurbished Container?

Typical Refurbishment – Exterior is repainted. Container exterior is prepped and painted. Prep includes wire wheeling to remove loose rust, spot priming exposed metal and painting the exterior including the roof. Typically we paint over locking rods, gaskets and decals.

Full Refurbishment – Similar to Typical Refurbishment but includes painting the interior.

Factory Refurbishment – This is a complete overhaul of the container with new interior and exterior paint, new gaskets and new container markings.

Why get refurbished containers?

  • A great alternative to a new container

Refurbished Containers are usually a more logical alternative than purchasing a new container. However, you should first choose which container would be better suited to your needs, depending on how you intend to use it. We can assist you with this decision.

  • Cheaper than a new container

Considering these containers have been used, they are cheaper than new containers.. The cost of refurbishing a used container could be as little as $500 (plus the cost of the container). Cost also depends on the size of the container and whether you chose a lighter pigmented paint color. For example, white paint requires more paint to cover adequately so it costs more than darker colors like beige or gray. Even after the refurbishment, the cost will still be cheaper than a new container. However, many customers opt for a new one trip container because the cost difference is not as great as you might think and the customer gets a new container with a new factory paint job.

  • Eco friendly

Refurbished containers look good but they still do not look as nice as a new one trip container. By selecting a used refurbished shipping container versus a new container you are recycling the used container and helping protect the environment. The refurbishment process also helps extend the life of the container by minimizing rust and corrosion.   

  • It’s guaranteed to last

Shipping containers are designed to protect cargo even in the harshest conditions. They can handle everything from ocean waves to severe weather. Though refurbished used containers have already been through it all, they are still in wind and watertight condition and can still protect your valuables from the elements.

Used High Cube Shipping Container for Sale
Our most popular container, used general purpose containers, have been in heavy-duty shipping service for 5 to 15 years before being “retired.” Most used shipping containers will have the original paint and shipping line markings. They will also have surface rust, dents, and abrasions. Used shipping containers might not look good on the outside and inside, but depending on their grade, they will be structurally sound and some may still be suitable for export.
