From the factory to your yard

Most container websites describe containers. This page shows them being made, every stage between a coil of steel and a box in your yard, and why each one matters to what you receive.

Stage 01

Steel & panel production

Corten-grade steel arrives as coil and leaves this hall as corrugated wall, roof and door panels. The grade matters to you for one reason: its surface weathers into a protective layer instead of rusting through.

Stage 02

Welding

Exterior seams are continuously welded, not stitched, which is what makes the box watertight for its working life. Robotic cells run the long panel seams; welders handle corner castings and the details robots cannot reach.

Flooring

The floor is 28 mm hardwood plywood, minimum 19 plies, screwed to eighteen steel cross members and rated for a loaded forklift, the floor test presses 7,260 kg through a single wheel patch.

Painting

Zinc-rich primer and waterborne top coats over shot-blasted steel, the system the multi-year paint guarantee is written against, and where your company color goes on with production branding.

Stage 05

CSC plates & serial numbers

Every unit receives its ISO 6346 serial number and a consolidated data plate riveted to the door: CSC safety approval, TIR customs approval, timber-treatment certification. The plate is what lets a shipping line legally carry the box.

Stage 06

Inspection & photo documentation

Materials are lab-tested and every finished unit is individually surveyed under a classification society. Before your balance payment you receive unit-level photos, so you approve the actual boxes, not a sample.

Loading

Finished units stage in the factory yard for dispatch. On a first-trip order, this is where your containers are matched to their first cargo booking.

Stage 08

Port arrival

Units move to the export terminal and gate in against the booking; from gate-in, each container is tracked by serial number through every handling event.

Stage 09

First-trip cargo

The first voyage carries paying cargo toward your destination. The cargo covers the slot, which is why a first-trip container lands without an empty-repositioning cost built into its price.

Unloading & delivery

At destination the cargo discharges and the container, now yours, one trip old, releases to your depot or trucks straight to your site.
