General purpose shipping containers are the most well-known and recognized containers in use today. Used to transport goods and cargo by sea and land, they’re strong, watertight, and incredibly durable. Made with solid Corten steel with reinforced corners to enable stacking up to 8 containers high on the exposed decks of a ship on long voyages around the world, they’re built to survive the worst nature can throw at them.

‘New’ is occasionally a misnomer of the container industry, with many ‘new’ shipping containers having actually been used for at least one trip, usually for goods that require a completely clean environment. New one trip containers however are not exposed to the rigours of sea conditions, nor the constant loading and unloading at different ports and destinations, so our general purpose shipping containers are always in exceptional condition, with all of them being freshly painted inside and out to prevent the steel from corroding.
United Budget Container Sales can customize containers by adding accessories (for example) like ventilation devices including whirly birds and air vents to ensure that each container has adequate air-flow.
