Shipping containers
Near-new 20ft units that have carried a single cargo.
A 20ft container fits down the side of most yards without special access arrangements, holds about 1,170 cubic feet, and weighs about 4,850 lb (2,200 kg) empty. A boom truck can place one in 60 feet of clear run, which is why it is the size most buyers settle on.
One-trip units have carried a single cargo from the factory. Close enough to new that most people cannot tell, and priced below it. Occasional light transit marks on the exterior are normal.
One-trip 20ft units go to buyers who have already decided on the size and are choosing on condition. If you are still weighing sizes, the size pages compare capacity and access side by side; if you are weighing grades, the condition pages explain what each one guarantees.
These are the ISO 668 figures for the size, which is why any container of this length stacks and locks with any other. Individual units vary in weight and finish.

Close to new. Sound paint, a clean floor and door gaskets that seal on the first close, with occasional light transit marks on the exterior from its single voyage.
Yes, noticeably, for a difference most people cannot see. It is the sensible middle when appearance matters but a factory-new premium does not.
Fewer than used stock. One-trip availability depends on shipping movements rather than on a standing inventory, so it is worth asking early if the grade matters to you.
Yes, and many are. The reason to pay for one-trip over used is appearance or conversion, not weather resistance, since a graded used unit keeps water out just as well.
Delivery is quoted against the address and the access rather than the mileage, because what the truck can reach moves the price further than how far it travels. Give us the ZIP code and a description of the approach and we will confirm cost and timing.
