Buying a 20ft New Shipping Container

Need storage without taking up too much space a new 20ft container may be right for you. When deciding whether a new 20ft container is right for you there are some things to consider:

Delivery Location: First you want to measure the area you’ll be having the container delivered. Our trucks need approximately 16 feet of clearance from the ground and 80 feet of road or drive-way to back the trailer up to your container. From there our equipment allows us to lift the container off the truck and set it down on the ground. Measure these dimensions to ensure our truck will fit and we will be able to deliver your container.

Brand New Containers: When you buy new you know your container hasn’t been previously damaged, you get a full warranty from the manufacturer and you get the maximum lifespan out of your container. We thoroughly inspect each container that comes into our warehouse to ensure they are up to factory standards.

Price: New containers will cost more than used but think of the extra years you’ll get out of a new container vs a used one. Not only that but when you buy used you never know what you’re getting. Our prices are set upfront and that is the price you’ll pay. No tricks or hidden charges.

Permits: Check with your local municipality or county to ensure your container will not need any permits before you purchase your container. If you are modifying the container to be livable or to be an ADU or workspace this step is extremely important.

Delivery Charges: Delivery charges are calculated by how far the container needs to travel from our facility to your location and which method you’d like us to place the container. Typically there is not much difference in price between a High Cube and standard container because we use the same size equipment to move them. They also weigh about the same and have similar exterior dimensions.
