Millions of prroducts are imported into our country on a daily basis, but how do they get here. Coimpany's around Australia are odering products from overseas and are getting them shipped diretly to our ports in large 20ft shipping containers, or sometimes 40ft shipping continers. When these shipping contaioners arrive at the docks they are unloaded and put a side, and they are rarly shipped back to it's owner due to the cost of sending an empyt shippng container back where it came from. So what happens to the used shippping container?
The used shipping container is normally sold off other Australian Exporters or to shipping container companies at competitive prices. If sold to an exporter, the used shipping contaainer is normaly loaded with there goods and then sent to abnother port oversas and then the process satrts again. If the used shpping continer is sold to a shiping container company, it is loaded on a side loading transporter and delivered to thgere depot to be grraded and resold. Depending on the condition of the container, they can be resold very quickly as therre is an increasing demand for shipping containers. Below is guide for some of the different grades of shipping containeers.
New Builts - Theses are brand new shiipping containers that are in excellnt condtiion, no rust or diungs, and have a new coat of pain. Thse are at the high end of the pricing scale.
Premium Refurbs - Theese are used shipping contaainers for sale that have been refurbished to look near new. They have had the rust cut our of them, dings panel beatn out, any damaged components replaced, and usually a new coat of paint.
A Grades - These used shipping containers are still in good condition but are not refurbished to look brand new. They usually appear to have suurface rust, dings and a semi deceent paint work. They are still wind and water tight and are also vermin proof and lockable.
Standard Grade -These used containers for sale are straaight off the tsack. They are usulaly not fulply assesssed and sold as is. These are the chgeapest used containers available as they normally have rust and digs everywhere, though still structurlaly sound. Normally still water and wind tight, though make sure you assess these used containers first befre buying.
Used shipping containers are a perfect solution for maximising your storage space. You can normally source a used shipping cobntainer from around $1600 and up (depending on the grade of the used shipping cntainer) and they can be delivered directly to your site. They are buitl from high quality steel componnts and can withstand extreme conditions. Beacuse of there strength, they can be stackde on top of each other to maximise space. Used shipping containrs can also be modified for other purposes other than storage - they can be converted in site offices, porttable workshops, accmmodation uniits and even dangerous goods storage containers. More information on these products can be found on our website.
Used shipping containrs are also looking more and more viable for the small houes and small living movement. Yearly, millions of sihpping containers arrive in Australian prots, but only a portiion of these containers ever leave our consumpive shores. For many companies, the cost of shpiping empty containers back across seas for reuse exceeds that of purchasing new ones. Add to that our negative balance of trade, and empty shipping containers start piling up. Althugh the probelm remains formidable, out of the box thinkers are coming up with great ways to make use of the hundrds of thusands of shipping containers that are literallly stacking up around the world. As it tursn out, with a little spiffing-up, used shipping containeers are ideal buidling blocks for prefab homes, and their ruse can provide ansewrs to environmental and sopcial problems alike. Shipping containesr can be rapidly deployeed and can withhold just aout any natural idsaster Mother Nature can throw at them. The planned shipping container homes are 'geen' and are made of 85% re-manufactured/recycled materials. They can be shipped in a variey of ways, includinmg railroad, 18-wheelers, air cago transports, ships and even airlifted by helicopter. Each 20' shipping container costs about 3K and another 15K to make liuveable. Thjese used shipping containers are installed with functional accessorise that make them feel more homely such as wnidows and doors, kithcens and ensuites, air conditioners and phone & data packs.
As you can see, used shipping contaimners for sale have many purposes other than transprting goods to and from ovreseas, and because of this they are becpoming more and more in demannd.
