Buying a 40ft New Shipping Container​

If you’re looking for more square feet and height, consider a brand new 40ft container. Here are some things to keep in mind when looking for a new 40ft shipping container:

Clear Area for Delivery – Before purchasing a container make sure you know the dimensions of the area you wish to place it. Our trucks need about 16 feet of head clearance as well as 80 feet of driveway or roadway to back the trailer up to the delivery location. From there our hydraulic system lifts the container off the truck and sets it on the ground. Make sure you allow enough space to ensure timely delivery.

Brand New Benefits – Buying new your container will be damage free when it arrives and it will come with a manufacturer warranty. Plus you will get many years of use out of your container. Every container that enters the Steel Box warehouse goes through an inspection process to ensure it arrived from the factory defect free.

Cost vs Value – Yes you will pay more money for a new container over a used one. But remember when you buy used you could be buying a container with an unknown history. When you purchase new you can expect many years of service from your container. Don’t worry we won’t beat you up on pricing. The price you see is the price you pay. No gimmicks or extras we forgot to tell you about.

Local Permits – Check with your local city or county to see if you need permits before buying your container. This is crucial if you plan on converting the container into a living space, ADU or workspace.

Delivery Costs – Delivery cost will vary depending on how far the container needs to travel from our yard to your home or business. Cost to deliver a standard versus a high cube are going to be pretty much the same. That is because we use the same machine to move both sizes. Also consider that standard and high cube containers weigh about the same, so that will not be a factor either.
