As one of the most reputable providers of cargo containers for sale in the USA, we’re proud of the great heritage that the shipping and transportation industry carries.
Many people presume that the shipping container was designed and invented by the Chinese. However, this essential transportation device was created by an American citizen.
In 1956, an American named Malcolm McLean invented and patented the first ever shipping container. McLean was a trucker who owned the fifth largest trucking company in the U.S. at the time. Initially, the cargo was loaded and unloaded in wooden crates. However, after witnessing this painstaking process for over 20 years, McLean decided to develop a more efficient way of loading cargo for trucks, ships, and warehouses.
Several experiments led to McLean’s final design, a design we celebrate and use globally today as the Shipping Container. Back in 1956, McLean ultimately managed to reduce the cost of loading freight by over 90 percent, making the trade costs of products also go down in price significantly.
Just as Malcolm McLean changed the world with the invention of the shipping container, we continue his legacy by providing affordable solutions for shipping and rental containers across the USA.
