New one-trip shipping containers
A new, or one-trip, shipping container has carried cargo just once since it was built. It has a valid CSC plate, intact paint and a dry floor - it looks almost straight out of the factory.
A new shipping container costs more than a used one, but it lasts longer and is the best base for any conversion. We offer new containers in 10, 20, 40 and 45 ft, including high cube and pallet wide versions.
When a new container makes sense
- Container home, sauna or office. Straight, rust-free walls make insulating, cutting window openings and finishing much easier. See container homes.
- Shipping. A valid CSC plate and BIC code let you use the container for international transport by sea, rail and road.
- Long-term use. If the container will stay with you for years, a new one pays off.
- Appearance. When the container is on display - at a shop, café or event - clean, even paint matters.
New container sizes and versions
A standard container is 2393 mm high inside, a high cube 2698 mm. A pallet wide container is wider inside, so euro pallets fit two side by side.

Colour
New containers usually come in a single colour, for example anthracite grey (RAL 7016). The colour of each container in stock is shown on its page. What container colours mean is explained in shipping container colours.
What the price of a new container depends on
The price of a new shipping container depends on size, version (standard, high cube or pallet wide), quantity and delivery address. Prices follow global demand, so we always send an up-to-date quote. Containers in stock, with photos and many with a price, are under Containers in stock. See also how much does a shipping container cost.
Delivery and placement
We bring 10ft and 20ft containers with a small crane truck (10-15 t lifting capacity, 9-12 m reach) and 40ft and 45ft containers with a large one (17-21 t, 12-14 m). A side loader sets the container down right beside the truck. It is worth preparing a firm, level base before delivery - see container foundation and delivery.
