Check for signs of wear, like corrosion in the chassis and damage to the container handles and doors. Be sure that the doors are able to open and close easily, and are securely secured.

Shipping tunnels for containers are offered in both brand new 'one trip condition as well as recycled second-hand containers. They are typically built from a shipping container that has the solid end removed, and the double doors welded into the ends.
