What is a One Trip Shipping Container?
Although commonly referred to as “new,” most shipping containers available for sale in Canada are technically known as one trip containers. These containers are manufactured overseas—primarily in China, where nearly all global container production takes place.
Before arriving in Canada, each container makes a single overseas journey loaded with cargo. This one-way trip helps offset the high cost of international shipping, which can often exceed the price of the container itself. As a result, new containers are shipped once with freight and then sold upon arrival—making them "one trip" containers.
Despite this initial use, these containers are still considered the best condition available in the market. They meet ISO standards and are typically free from any major damage—both structurally and cosmetically.
What to Expect from a One Trip Container
While these containers are considered new, it’s important to understand they’ve already been handled several times during their journey. Minor cosmetic imperfections are to be expected and are considered normal for one trip units.These may include:
- Small dents on the roof or side panels
- Light scratches on corner posts
- Minor scuffs or markings on the interior walls or flooring
- Forklift marks from loading and unloading cargo.
Despite these signs of use, one trip containers remain in excellent overall condition and are ideal for storage, modification, or transport applications. They offer a near-new appearance and full structural integrity at a significantly lower cost than a brand-new, never-used unit.
