New shipping containers
Sea containers are for the most part manufactured in China. In order to provide our customers with affordable containers for sale, we have them filled with very specific products, transported to Canada, emptied, inspected and then listed for sale. It is for this reason these units are often referred to as one trip containers.
Benefits of new containers
- Great aesthetics:
Very few dings and dents, no company logos. No Rust. - Free of contaminants:
These units have not yet been used to transport hazardous products and have not been sprayed on entry into the country for bugs or other pests, making ideal for use as a building or workspace. - Doors are easier to open:
Over the years door hinges stiffen up and containers will deform ever so slightly making the doors harder to open and close. - Great selection of Specialty Containers:
If you are looking for a 10 foot shipping container, a 20 foot open side, a 20 foot tunnel container or any other specialty container you will likely need to order it new. See our Specialty Containers section for more information.
Used shipping container
Most used containers are 10 - 12 years old and have previously been used for international trade. As such there are usually large quantities available. LRI Containers offers low cost used storage containers in WWT (wind and watertight condition) or CW (Cargo Worthy) condition.
Benefits of used cargo container
- Availability:
There are millions of shipping containers in circulation worldwide. This huge international fleet is always being renewed, resulting in the large availability of used high-quality shipping containers for sale. - Cost:
Due to high volumes, pricing on used containers is low, making them a budget friendly storage option. - Environmental:
Re using shipping containers as portable storage containers, allows units a second life. This eliminates CO2 emissions associated to recycling, as well mitigating the emissions of constructing a storage structure.
