15ft NEW SHIPPING CONTAINERS
Definition of a new shipping container
By 2000 China had become the largest manufacturer of ISO shipping containers in the world, and by 2007 China was producing 82% of the entire world supply of ISO shipping containers. With low labour costs, and China being the largest producer and recycler of steel in the world, it means that virtually all shipping containers purchased in the UK have originated from China. They are exported to our shores laden with cargo, which makes economical sense, and keeps cost down for all parties. This is why new shipping containers are referred to as 'One Trip Containers'. There may be some evidence of handling or surface scuffing, but other than that, the container should be as new.15ft new containers
This is not a standard length for container manufacture. ISO containers are very much standardised to comply with world wide shipping trade regulations, therefore the vast majority of new containers are 20ft or 40ft long (and 8ft wide). But with the growing popularity of repurposing containers, for storage and conversions, there is a big demand for all sizes. We meet this demand by using the cut down process. To illustrate, we would make a 15ft new shipping container by taking a new 40ft model, and dividing it up into three pieces. This will produce two 15ft lengths and one 10ft. The new containers are then made whole into three complete units by adding new doors (or a new front wall for the unit with the original door in tact).Please note cut down containers are not suitable for shipping, stacking or lifting when loaded. Please speak to a Sales Advisor if you need these conditions, where they may recommend a cut and shut container.
