Let's learn what aspects of used containers should be checked.

1. Visual inspection

When purchasing second-hand containers, pay attention to check the signs and numbers of the containers, which should be clearly visible and consistent with the content recorded on the qualified certificate. Next, check the exterior of the container, especially the four columns, six sides and octagons, to ensure that they are intact and free from damage and leakage. When dents and scratches are found on the outside of the container, it should be carefully inspected for cracks or cracks.

2. Internal Inspection

The interior of the second-hand container should also be carefully inspected to see if there is any residue, pollution, rust, odor, soil and moisture. Once it is found that it does not meet the loading requirements, it should be brought to the relevant departments for cleaning to eliminate moisture. and odor, or use appropriate bedding materials and other compensatory measures, in addition, it should be noted that no toxic and harmful substances can be left in the second-hand container purchased.

3. Sealing inspection

Containers should have good airtightness, so when purchasing second-hand containers, the airtightness of the containers should be identified. The airtightness of the box can be checked by means of light transmission test, flushing test and smoke test, etc. It is necessary to ensure that the second-hand containers purchased and used have good sealing performance.

If enterprises want to purchase second-hand containers, they should pay attention to choosing a standard container manufacturer with first-class service, and carry out visual inspection, internal inspection and sealing inspection of the selected second-hand container accompanied by the manufacturer. All inspections are in place, in order to fully understand the condition and quality of the container, so as to buy second-hand containers of good quality.
