Do you deliver to my area?

We quote delivery anywhere in the U.S. Every quote is a delivered price for your exact address, so freight is built in and there are no surprise charges. See where we deliver.

What is the difference between new one-trip and used?

A new one-trip container has made a single cargo voyage, so the steel, floor, and doors arrive in near-new condition. A used wind and watertight container is structurally sound and watertight, with cosmetic wear. Best value.

What sizes do you offer?

10 ft, 20 ft, 40 ft standard (8 ft 6 in tall), and 40 ft high cube (9 ft 6 in tall). The 20 ft is the most requested size for job sites and facilities.

Can you paint my container?

Yes. Choose any of 183 RAL colors, and add your logo, company name, or unit numbers. Painting is finished before delivery, and physical color samples are available on request.

How is the container delivered?

Most deliveries are made on a tilt-bed trailer that sets the container directly on the ground. We confirm the delivery method, clearance, and access for your site before the truck is dispatched.

How much room does delivery need?

Tilt-bed delivery needs a long, straight approach and room for the truck to pull forward as the container slides off. 40 ft units need more room than 20 ft units. Photos of the site help us confirm it.

What kind of ground does the container need?

Firm, level ground: gravel, asphalt, concrete, or compacted soil. On softer ground, timbers or blocking under the corners keep the container level and the doors working smoothly.

Do I need a permit?

It depends on your city or town. Some communities require a permit for a container kept on site long term or placed on a street. Check with your local zoning office before delivery.

How soon can I get a container?

Lead time depends on the size, condition, and paint. We confirm a delivery window with your quote and lock it in when you approve.

Do you set up commercial accounts?

Yes. We provide a W-9 and certificate of insurance, complete vendor and account applications, and accept ACH and company checks. Approved accounts can be set up on terms.
