Shipping Container Construction Process

Even though they look like they might be assembled entirely by machines, shipping containers require a significant amount of human effort. Take a peek at how shipping containers are made from start to finish! 

 

Panelling the Walls

 

The wall panels of shipping container storage in Carson City NV, are the first component installed. Steel sheets are sanded and primed to eliminate dust and other contaminants after being cut from larger sheets. The walls are then corrugated, giving shipping containers a distinctive wave-like appearance and significantly increasing their strength. It has a tubular frame onto which the corrugated sheets are welded. 

 

Assembly of the Floor Frame

 

Two longer I-beams extend perpendicular to one another from the primary components of the floor frame assembly. The base is made by welding shorter I-beams between the longer to form a slab. After all the welding is done, the floor structure is sanded with a flap disc angle grinder to smooth up the welds. 

 

To ensure the safety & durability of the wood, the flooring is marine-grade pressure handled with chemicals approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

 

Entrances and Corner Posts 

 

The front & back of the containers are built once the sides are completed. Doors and sidewalls are both primarily constructed from corrugated steel. After the necessary measurements have been taken, the corrugated steel is enclosed in square steel tubing. 

 

Before putting up the wall panels, you put in the doors that will go in them. After the entrance, walls and corner posts are welded into position, and the roof panel can be built and affixed. 

 

Putting the Box Together 

 

The packing box is almost done. The door frames are lifted by cranes and placed on top of the flooring frame before being welded in place. The roof panel is fused in place once the walls have been lifted and welded. 

 

Painting and priming

 

Now that the frame of the shipping container for sale in Carson City NV is complete, it may be primed and painted to protect it from the elements. To paint a container, an undercoat (primer) is sprayed on first. This adds an extra protective layer to the container and assures that subsequent paint applications will adhere better to the container. 

 

As soon as the priming is dry, the container is sprayed with many coats of color. The container's protection from salt water, as well as other damaging factors of sea passage, is ensured by multiple coats of paint. 

 

After the floor panels are put in the framework and lacquered to protect the wood from moisture and insects, the floor can be finished. As a final step, rubber seals are installed on the door, and the container's base is sealed to prevent water leakage. 

 

Flooring

 

The floor frame is in place, and the wooden flooring can be fitted into it. The container's floor is made up of six pieces of plywood. Within the container, the pressure-treated boards are fastened to the steel support beams with screws.
