When considering a storage container purchase, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is whether to go for a new vs. a used container. At Hayes Cabin Services, we believe that new shipping containers offer unmatched value, quality, and longevity, which is why we exclusively offer and recommend new containers, also known as "one-trip" containers. Here’s why a new container is the best choice for your needs, along with an overview of our range and customization options.
What Are New (One-Trip) Storage Containers?
One-trip containers (often referred to as new) are shipping containers that have only made a single journey from the manufacturing facility (typically in China) to their destination in Ireland. After being manufactured the container is filled with goods, with the shipping costs covered by the buyer of the goods. Once the container arrives at its destination, it is made available for sale. One of the biggest advantages of one-trip containers is that they are fully dry on the inside, providing an ideal environment for secure storage.
Advantages of New Containers:
Superior Condition: New containers are virtually pristine, showing only minor signs of their one-time use.
Maximum Durability: Built to last, these containers offer the highest level of structural integrity, making them perfect for long-term storage, modifications, or conversion projects.
Completely Dry and Secure: New containers are airtight and weatherproof, ensuring that your contents are fully protected from the elements and potential theft.
Versatility and Customization: New containers provide a blank canvas for modifications. Whether you need additional doors, windows, insulation, or specific fittings, new containers are easier to customize to your exact specifications.
The Reality of Used Containers
Used containers, on the other hand, have typically spent up to 10 years at sea, enduring harsh conditions and constant wear and tear. While they might seem like a cost-effective option at first glance, the reality is that they aren't significantly cheaper than one-trip containers. Additionally, used containers often show signs of aging, such as rust, dents, and potential leaks, which can compromise their functionality and durability. For businesses that need reliable and secure storage, these drawbacks can outweigh the minor savings that used containers offer.
Why Choose One-Trip Containers?
While used containers might save you a little upfront, the long-term benefits of choosing a one-trip container far outweigh the minor cost difference. Investing in a one-trip container ensures you get a secure, durable, and reliable storage solution that will serve your needs for years to come. With a variety of sizes, side-opening options, shelving, and custom modifications available, Hayes Cabin Services has the perfect container for your business.
