Containers
What is the difference between one-trip and used containers?
One-trip containers are practically new. Used containers are multi-trip containers. They show significant signs of wear but are guaranteed wind and watertight. Both grades come in the same two sizes.
What sizes do you sell?
Two sizes, in both grades:
- 20 ft standard: 20 ft long, 8 ft wide, 8.5 ft high
- 40 ft high cube: 40 ft long, 8 ft wide, 9.5 ft high
These are outside dimensions.
Do you also sell specialty containers, such as double door or three door?
We can get specialty containers if desired, and will be glad to check with our supplier to fill your container needs.
Are your containers wind and watertight?
Yes. Every container we sell, one-trip or used, is guaranteed wind and watertight. Used containers show significant signs of wear. One-trip containers are practically new.
Can I pick out the container I want to purchase?

How level does the ground need to be?
The ground where the container is going needs to be reasonably level, or the customer can assume responsibility to level and reposition the container after delivery.

Yes. The customer has to be there on delivery day.
Do I need a permit or zoning approval?
Permits or zoning, if required, are the responsibility of the customer.

Can you set it exactly where I want it?
