30ft x 8ft Shipping Container (One Trip) – Cut Down

The 30ft cut-down shipping container is a new (one-trip) unit that has been professionally shortened from a standard 40ft container to provide a more compact storage solution for locations where a 40ft unit cannot be accommodated .

• 28mm marine-grade plywood flooring over steel cross-members 

• Double cargo doors with steel locking bars and a fitted lockbox for secure closure 

• Prepared and re-sprayed inside and out for a consistent, professional finish 

• Forklift pockets for ease of handling and positioning

Detailed Description

This 30ft container is constructed from Cor-ten steel, a weathering steel grade that develops a stable protective oxide layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. As a one-trip unit, this container has completed a single loaded voyage from its manufacturing origin and is in near-new condition. One-trip containers are built to last 25-30 years and represent the highest quality grade available on the market . They may show minor signs of transport including light scratches or small dents from their single journey, while maintaining fully intact floors, walls, and door gaskets .

The cut-down fabrication process involves shortening a standard 40ft container to 30ft with a new end wall fabricated from 16mm corrugated steel . The unit is fully seam welded to ensure watertight integrity and re-sprayed inside and out for a professional finish. This container is not suitable for international shipping, stacking, or lifting when loaded .

The floor system utilizes 28mm marine-grade plywood panels secured to steel cross-members, providing load-bearing capacity for palletized goods and equipment. The double cargo doors feature steel locking bars with a factory-fitted lockbox for enhanced security .
