[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Bergie Have you guys ever seen a 10' long intermodal-type container? I just saw one on a flatbed trailer on the way back from lunch. It was a Mini Mobile storage container. (Found some pictures here: http://www.swmobilestorage.com/residential.html) Does anyone know if those containers are refirburshed from "retired" intermodal use or if they're newly constructed to 10 foot standards? When I saw it I did a double-take because I had never seen one so short before. Erik [/quote] Are you sure it was "mobile storage" and not one of those new ~U-pak/we drive~ moving services? (which are a neat idea, btw) The reason why I ask is that I have purchased a number of 20 and 40 footers, back when I was in the warehousing game, providing slack storage for tenants with short term needs, and the guy I used to buy them from bought used ones from K line, Evergreen, etc And the one time I asked him for a new container, he told me that the engineering necessary for the mobile conntainers to be considered ~safe~ made new ones relatively cost prohibitive for users with stationary needs, while used ones given a clean up were very affordabe. The one logical exception I can rationalize would be if one of the new moving services were having them built for their special use. fwiw
