Why buy a container?

In a world that is becoming more and more “green” recycling shipping containers provides an ideal opportunity for you to add a great deal of space to your property without the hassle of construction. All that you need is level space and minimal ground preparation before we can deliver a container to you. In addition to general storage our ISO Steel Shipping Containers are convenient for shipping cargo, temporary job site storage, mobile offices, excess inventory and even for building permanent structures. If a steel frame is needed for your job our shipping containers will probably help make it easier. The price is right too!!

Do you deliver?

We offer two options for your delivery needs. Flat-bed and Roll-back.

If you do not have off-loading equipment on site we can deliver using a roll-back truck that will place the unit on the ground where you need it, assuming there is plenty of clearance to get a big truck in and out of the area. 40’ deliveries need more clearance than 20’ deliveries as they require a larger truck. Pricing for roll-back deliveries is typically $100-125/hour for the round trip + 30 minutes on site.
If you have offloading capability via fork-lift, lull or crane you can probably save yourself some money by having our containers delivered via flat-bed truck. 20’ Containers weight approx. 5000 pounds and 40’ Containers weigh approx. 9000 pounds. 8’ forks are ideal for removing the containers from a flat-bed as the containers are 8’ wide.

Should I set the container on the ground?

Depending on what type of ground you will be putting the containers on and what you will be using the unit for it might not be a bad idea to elevate the containers off the ground. You could use 4’’x4’’ boards, railroad ties or solid cement blocks.

How old are the containers?

We sell everything from New One-trip containers that are frequently less than one year old to containers that are nearly 20 years old and are in varying shapes and conditions. Age is often a predominant factor in pricing our inventory, but depending on the wear and tear of each particular unit it is not fair to say that in every case the older the cheaper. Shipping containers are made to hold up in the worst of weather conditions and we do everything possible to keep them up to par and perfect to suit your needs. If you purchase a container in good condition and place it on your property for general storage it should last for many years without requiring much if any attention.

How soon can you deliver the containers to us?

In most cases we should be able to have a container delivered to you within a week (or less) of a firm order but it all depends on the specific requirements. If we have to do repairs or modifications such as paint or add doors or windows it may take a little while longer.

Do you offer modifications to the containers?

If you can dream it up we can draw it up we can probably have it done for you. Keep in mind— each modification adds $$ to the price tag.
