When to choose a New Container
One of the first considerations when deciding whether to purchase or rent a container is whether to spend your money on a new or used shipping container. Both choices are excellent, however it all depends on how the container will be utilized.
Some buyers of shipping containers choose to purchase new ones, while others, who are less bothered with the container’s appearance, may choose used shipping containers. Used shipping containers can have minor imperfections like surface rust, small dents or perhaps some sun bleached paint.
Below we will list some reasons for choosing a new container:
Is the appearance of the Container Important?
If the outward aesthetic of the container is one of the important factors you are taking into consideration, then a new shipping container should be your first choice. Although there are some used shipping containers that are in extremely good nick, the risk of dents and corrosion, no matter how minor, will always be substantial. However if you choose a new container you can rest assured that the container will be in perfect condition.
What will the Shipping Container be used for?
Deciding what the container will be used for is an important deciding factor when selecting a new or used container. When the container will be used for converting into a living space or office we recommend that you choose a New shipping container. When buying a container to serve as a garden shed and will be repainted to compliment your house a used container might be your best option.
How Long Does a New Container Last?
The majority of shipping containers are typically used to transport freight for ten to twelve years before being sold as a used shipping container. Given that new shipping containers have only been used to transport freight once, new containers can last for at least thirty years. You will increase the lifespan of your shipping container by painting it, keeping the roof clean and clear of debris, elevating it off the ground, setting it on a concrete foundation, maintaining good ventilation, and lubricating all moving parts.
