I have done every job that was shown on that video, although not quite so mechanised when I worked on them.

Cost of a new box from the far East is between £950 and £1200 for a TEU

I’ve done every job on the vid as well. I can’t believe how clean and organised they are after some off the places I’ve worked in this country.

Not exactly the back street under the arches is it. I wonder how long it will be before they get some robots in to do the welding?

Great find,really interesting.Wonder how long it actually takes, from start to finish.

looks like some horrible work in there but a bloody good job is done!

I wanted to see how throwaway crap gets turned into those nice sheets of steel. :frowning:

They just stick all the scrap metal in a vat and melt it down then skim off the impurities which come to the surface afaik.

Great find
Always wondered how shipping containers are build,

Be interesting to know how many they build a hour
