Hello

Does anybody know where I can get a second hand container for a customer?

All types and ages considered!

Thanks

Hi contactor.
I have just googled 2nd hand containers for sale.
This was the first link of many.

Or are you after ones that are available before the dealers get their hands upon them?

Thank you.

They're using something that looks like it used to be on the back of a lorry a long time ago, (it's made of wood!), they've been told it's got to go. Anything suitable will do, ideally they would re-use the fridge in a new container.

Its about 16'x8'x8', it's an old truck body I think, but anything similar would do, most of the reefers i've seen are 20' minimum.

Ring any shipping company, they dispose hundreds yearly. { there are hundreds bobbing around in the sea off NZ east coast if you want to come pick one up }

one prob i have found with using a sea container is the defrost they do not like too many door openings,much the same as a road going body the solution is to get a well insulated truck body and put commercial equipment on it,the problem is do you heat the door seals which in my experience is yes if you have a lot of traffic in + out of the box!.road going units tend to be heavy on energy consumption and constant maintainence is required dependent on unit type.

Containers would be waterlogged and rather smelly by now :eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJvdVmKMugw

Hi Mike ref,
definitly a mess out there, containers are washing up on beaches. The ship got whacked with 7 metre swells and finally broke in half. The reef is a knob in the ocean and depths drop away to 80 metres deep, they had got hundreds of containers off before storm and 90 % of the heavy bunker oil off as well. The Captain and Nav officer are in jail, just in case they try and skip the country
