This 40ft one-trip shipping container is stock ref 2526 — a new unit that carried one load of cargo from China to Australia before sale, arriving with a clean interior, intact seals, and a 28mm marine ply floor in near-new condition. The Cor-Ten steel body resists corrosion in Australian outdoor conditions without repainting or treatment. A factory-fitted lockbox and double locking bars provide immediate padlock security on delivery, and forklift pockets on both sides allow repositioning on any flat site without crane support.

What One-Trip Condition Means for This 40ft Container
A 40ft one-trip shipping container carries one load of cargo from the Chinese factory to an Australian port before sale — that’s the full extent of its use. No Australian re-loading, no repeat forklift cycles on the floor, and no unknown cargo residues from previous tenants. The floor is intact, the seals are tight, the interior is clean, and the steel walls are free of the dents and dings that accumulate across multiple ocean voyages on a used unit. Construction operators storing high-value tools, equipment, and site materials on active projects get a meaningfully better starting condition than any used container at this price point. Agricultural buyers storing fertiliser, seed, and chemicals that can’t tolerate contamination from previous cargo get a clean starting point that a used unit can’t guarantee.
The standard 8’6″ height keeps transport costs lower than a high cube equivalent on most Australian road networks. 67.7 m³ of internal volume covers the full 40ft storage capacity — the equivalent of a large double garage plus additional overhead storage. The Cor-Ten steel body handles coastal humidity, inland temperature extremes, and tropical wet seasons without the surface corrosion that mild steel develops within a few years of outdoor exposure.
