One trip shipping containers, also called single-trip containers, are premium cargo containers that have been used only once for international transport before being sold for storage, construction, housing, offices, and other custom projects. Manufactured overseas and transported with light cargo, these containers arrive in near-new condition, offering excellent structural quality and top-tier cosmetics.
Why Choose One Trip Shipping Containers?
One trip shipping containers are the highest-quality option available without paying full factory-new pricing. Because they’ve only made a single voyage, they retain exceptional structural integrity and a clean appearance.
Key benefits of one trip shipping containers include:
- Near-new condition: minimal dents, scratches, or cosmetic wear
- Premium construction: built from corrosion-resistant CORTEN steel
- Secure features: lockable double doors, marine-grade flooring, vents
- Long life span: typically 10–15+ years with proper maintenance
- Available in popular and specialty sizes
These qualities make one trip units ideal for storage facilities, modular buildings, portable offices, tiny homes, commercial kiosks, workshops, and job-site solutions.

Acceptable cosmetic wear:

- Minor dents
- Light surface rust around edges
Not acceptable damage:
