What are refurbished shipping containers?
Refurbished shipping containers are restored and repainted pre-owned units that provide a smart, cost-effective alternative to new containers. Ideal for projects where appearance matters, each container is carefully inspected and repaired to meet a range of needs—from storage and transport to creative conversions. With a balance of durability, functionality, and style, refurbished containers offer outstanding value without compromising on quality.
What goes into refurbishing a shipping container?
Refurbishing a shipping container goes beyond a simple paint job — it’s about restoring its structural integrity, functionality, and visual appeal to make it feel like new. The process typically includes:
- Thorough Inspection: The container is carefully examined for structural issues like dents, rust, and leaks to ensure it meets safety and performance standards.
- Surface Preparation: The container is meticulously cleaned to remove dirt, grease, rust, and old paint, ensuring a smooth and even surface for refinishing.
- Repainting: A new layer of premium paint is applied, enhancing both the container's appearance and its resistance to the elements.
- Servicing: The doors and hinges are carefully inspected, lubricated, and adjusted to ensure smooth operation. Any damaged or worn components are replaced to maintain optimal functionality.
- Floor Maintenance: The floor is thoroughly inspected, and any necessary repairs are carried out to ensure its durability. This may include securing any loose components to maintain its strength and stability.
- Structural Examination: The container is thoroughly inspected for any holes, dents, or other structural issues, which are promptly repaired to maintain the container’s overall integrity.
- Comprehensive Assessment: In addition to cleaning and painting, a complete structural inspection is performed to ensure the container is in optimal condition and fully ready for use.
