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.
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.
Steel & panel productionExterior 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.
Welding
WeldingThe 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.
Flooring
FlooringZinc-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.
PaintingEvery 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.
CSC plates & serial numbersMaterials 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.
Inspection & photo documentation
Inspection & photo documentationFinished 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.
LoadingUnits 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.
Port arrivalThe 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.
First-trip cargoAt destination the cargo discharges and the container, now yours, one trip old, releases to your depot or trucks straight to your site.
