Refurbished containers are an excellent choice. Container Alliance signature refurbished units are not just “repainted”, they are fully refurbished. The container is first carefully selected, thoroughly inspected prior to work being done on the unit. The used shipping container typically has surface rust where it has been scratched or dented which is removed, all rough spots are removed along with any dirt and old decals. The container is treated with a rust prohibitive primer and rust prohibitive paint. After the paint dries the container goes through one last inspection process, which involves testing the cargo doors and fixing them to insure they are functioning properly. The finished product looks much better then a container that is labeled by the shipping line and will last much longer then an untreated shipping container.
