What is a new/ 1 trip container?

Shipping containers that have done 1 trip only from where they were manufactured in China are categorized as new (1st trip). They will of safely transported cargo bound for the United Kingdom. They are essentially brand new, and will have only minor scratches / marks externally from where they have been handled by lifting equipment / during transit from the Far East to us here in the UK.
At Boxtor we meticulously inspect our containers for any issues / potential damages caused by transit prior to sending them out to our valued customers.

That is why we are regarded as one of the leading UK suppliers of new and used shipping containers of all types and sizes, across the UK!

He provided us with a competitive quote and made sure that the reefer was delivered as soon as possible. The whole process was seamless and we are very happy with the overall experience. We are looking forward to doing business with Boxtor again in the near future”
