Keith Walton Tantlinger (March 22, 1919 - August 27, 2011) was a engineer / inventor whose inventions played a major role in globalization. Tantlinger developed much of the early technology of modern container shipping. His designs included the corner casting and Twistlock systems found on every intermodal container, the spreader bar for automatic securing of containers lifted on and off ships, the ship-shore container transfer apparatus for the first cellular container ship.
I just want to say thank you for making this video and uploading it for us to see. I enjoy learning how things are made. These containers are truly what one would call "hand made". That is really some awesome team work that goes into making each container.
Not "hand made" when you have a massive assembly line and a huge factory with cranes, and lots of special machinery to make it and lift the heavy panels into place
@@anomilumiimulimona2924 each container is around 8600lbs empty and they can haul 10K each so the apporaching 100K estimate was correct from the original post.
@@anomilumiimulimona2924 YOU are CORRECT! Mentally I didn't make the switch between "100 tons" and "100 thousand lbs"... 100 tons is way more than ten containers and yes, they are not supposed to be stacked more than 8 high.
Hi Chris. Any idea how I can purchase several of their 40 ft high cubes w/ a lesser number of middle men? I am in the port town of Wilmington,NC , where I would think they could be shipped? nThanks for your help.
It takes a box less than 1 day to go through the assembly line, truly amazing to watch! Typically (dependant on your location) a new 20' box will be worth around $4000 - $4500. We currently do custom structures built out of shipping containers in North America, and also could arrange to have fairly major customization done in China if there was a large enough volume order. Check out our website gallery @ bigsteelbox com or our Facebook page for photos of customized units we have built.

Oh no you changed the music I loved the old one... At least I already downloaded it... but this video will never be the same again without the previous soundtrack.
Yes! There are international standards for shipping container types. This uniformity is one of a containers key features making them able to be transported around the world. There are many different types with standard sizes ranging from 5'-40'. Containers can also be easily modified but you should always ensure they comply to all the standards of the country you are located- especially in the case of offshore containers!
I want to thank you for the video uploaded I was amazed with the level of Industrial production machines used to aid the fab people and keep them safe throughout the process I'm a school trained welder with 26 years and none of my former employers ever gave a damn about me I noticed the welders each had air feed welding respirators to protect the welders from the welding contaminants
This is quite an old factory actually... We toured one of the newer Chinese facilities on a different trip that had robots doing a majority of the welding etc. Very cool in a different way, we thought this factory was cool to video because it's dark, dirty, and feels more hardcore :) Thanks for the comments!
East coast USA some nice used ones can usually be had from $900 to $2000, depending on size and quality. Pick sunny day, go inside and have friend close doors while you're inside then look for small holes in roof, etc. Check floors and door gaskets as well as locking handles to make sure it closes properly.
+woodstoney Be careful. After the Exxon Valdez spill many were used to store dead animal carcasses. They rotted and saturated the foam insulation (these were refrigerated boxes although they used both). Maggots were living in the foam when they took them south and sold them on the used market. That time is of course gone but that is the kind of thing you can run into. Some are used for chemicals, nuclear waste, medical waste etc. etc.
if you drive a hard bargain you can get em in ports brand new 20" for roughly €1700. Used containers are waste most of the time; warped, polluted, rusted etc.
Containers do not generally come standard without "ends" or "floors". There are "open top" containers with a canvas covering or "platform containers" without sides or a roof (just has the ends).
i never thought it go through so many process to make the container. fantastically captured and showing every bit of the process in a short time. good work. thanks for sharing and enlightening us with this amazing process of making a container. being a part of shipping world, its really good to see each and every part of the process. thanks once again.
Bare in mind the type of refrigerated container you require. Refrigerated shipping containers run on either "Single Phase"- standard 240v household power OR "Three Phase"- would need to ensure the location you intend to run the container has three phase power. Three Phase units are more costly however they are the recommended units if you want high efficiency and cooler temperatures.
Who would give a "thumbs down" to this? I could watch these "how they're made" videos all day long. It reminds me of the movies we watched in school and the field trips we used to take to local companies in the area. I remember we went to a bakery, I forget which one. (Anybody remember those yellow Winchell's trucks that used to go through the neighborhoods? I can still remember the smell when the guy would open the back doors. I think he even had some kind of awning on the back. This also reminded me of when I was in the Navy on the paint team. A miserable job. We were in dry dock and painted every square inch of the ship. AFTER we'd chipped the rust off it. Neat video. Too bad manufacturing is dying in America. Thank you Demo-Rats. Actually that's not fair. It's just as much the fault of greed and both parties selling out to businesses going "overseas". AND the stinking unions.
Out of all the jobs that go into in the making of the container, you would definitely want the last one, quality control checking for leaks.............well I would. lol Great video, thanks.
Great video and what an awesome facility!! I have been in many rail and intermodal facilities and know the hardship of keeping a clean workplace. But it looks like you guys are doing a great job on cleanliness I am very impressed. Keep up the great work!
Raised in manufacturing from age 5 to 50. Forced out on medical retirement, but better now that I hit 60 (mph lol). I know it all (well almost), and stay knowledge current (in case I decide to shock the States, for ol times sake, one last time). Washington still used the specifications I wrote when I was 22, and said to be in the top three design engineer / fabricator, supplying the HUD, DOE, MIL, and BOP. ANYHOW, the Chinese video appear to be doing an nice efficient job constructing, *for the end result of a job well done : -) GOOD WORK EARTHLINGS*
It's amazing how solid and well made these are. People poke fun at the idea of making these into houses, houses that could literally last many 100's of years.
I enjoyed watching this. Although at some moments i felt it was very dangerous for the workers to be doing this daily but i guess there are many other similar risky jobs or even worse ones. I hope all safety precautions are taken :)

Just impressed on how the company can manage step by step finish the container from A to Z with all the tools and equipment they provided. It's awesome.
Amazing! Glad to see the workers wearing safety gear. Every factory can use upgrades but then you put the workers out of a job. Robots aren't the answer for everyone. I'm sure some of those guys love their job. And i hope their educated on all the toxins floating around in that factory. I wish i could fabricate like that!
There are clip on and various other refrigerated unit options to convert a dry steel container into a refrigerated one- however you are paying for the unit, the installation costs and the manpower. In addition, in order for the dry container to be efficient it must be insulated. The insulated cool room panel is also costly. All in all it makes much more sense to simply buy a standard refrigerated container.
Espero que todas las empresas del mundo vean este video donde la maquinaria asiste al hombre y no lo reemplaza, excelente!!! me dio ganas de ir a soldar algo ;-)
Obviously manufacturing them in a country that exports a lot is good. But... empty is also light, they can probably be piled on top of stacks that could not accept any more full container.
Holy moly that is a lot of work. On a side note, avoid using this kind of music next time. Putting the volume on mute seems like a waste of labor in the end for the person who edited this piece.
I just purchased 4 20' boxes that were 1trip from china to Newark NJ and I can say the quality of them is amazingly high I saw no flaws! and the Chinese take great pride in their work and it shows in how well my new boxes are made.
They may be nice but, China pumps out product as fast as they can and could give a shit less if the quality is less than poor, just how it is, there all for the quantity not the quality
neosomato hypergenesis Cause you people will work for a fucking penny so we steal it from ur asses and the very few things made in usa are TEN Times better than anything made in china buddy
chippledon1 if you want job like this you can come work for me, I will offer you a permanent contact and pay you £20 a day (these worker don’t have contact and paid much less then what I just offered you).
It's so interested. We have land near Lam chabang deep sea port in Thailand. We are interested to do the shipping containers.Because the Mega project between Thai - Mynmar is going to build the land bridge from Dawai deep sea port in Mynmar to Lam chabang deep sea port. It's big chance for the shipping containers. If some one interested, we have land in the development area for the factory.
Does anyone else ask themselves these questions -"But how was the machinery made that made the containers...and how was that machinery made?? ..and so on!"

What impressed me was that seeing how they are made and how strong they are. When on the ship the botom container supports round 100 tons.
They only stack 8 high 10,000 lbs max each.
