FAQs When Buying A Shipping Container

WHAT SIZE CONTAINERS DO YOU SELL?

What size containers do you sell?  We sell 10’, 20’, and 40’ long containers. Most containers are 8’6 tall but we also have 9’6 tall containers called high cube containers.  Occasionally we get containers in other sizes such as 8’ and 30’.

HOW MUCH SPACE IS REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY?

The amount of space is minimal. For a 20-foot unit, you will need approximately 75 feet of straight clearance.  For a 40’ unit, you will need approximately 120’ of clearance in a straight line.

HOW IS THE CONTAINER DELIVERED?

We deliver 20’ containers to your site using a tilt bed truck. The driver will back in the truck, tilt the bed, and drive out from underneath the container.The container will gently slide off the truck, onto the ground. The driver will need to pull straight out from underneath the container. Click here to see a video of how we offload a 20’ container.  40’ containers are delivered with a pickup up truck pulling a gooseneck trailer.  Click here to see a video of how we offload a 40′ container.

IS THERE ANY SITE PREPARATION NECESSARY?

The site will have to be fairly level, smooth, and firm. We can deliver on dirt, cement, grass, crushed stone, and asphalt. Keep in mind that a container might sink in a soft surface and our truck could leave tire marks.

DO I HAVE TO BE PRESENT FOR THE DELIVERY OF MY STORAGE UNIT?

We recommend that you or a designated contact person be present the first time we deliver a unit to you. If this is not possible, we can discuss other alternatives.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY STORAGE CONTAINER?

We strive to deliver your container in the shortest amount of time.  Typically that is as soon as the same or next day to a week. It all depends on how busy we are.

HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?

We require check or cash at delivery which can be handed to the driver.  Alternatively, we accept most major credit cards. If paying by credit card, you need to give the credit card number you wish to use to our office personnel before the day of delivery so that we can run your card.

DO I NEED A PERMIT?

It is your responsibility to check with your local authorities about the placement of the container.

ARE THERE ANY SPECIALTY CONTAINERS FOR SALE?

We sell containers with doors at one end, both ends (double door containers), side doors (open side containers), and also can do modifications.

ARE THE CONTAINERS ON THE WEBSITE THE ACTUAL CONTAINERS YOU SELL?

The containers on the website are the actual containers we have in stock. To purchase a particular container, note the container ID number to specify it or order online.

CAN I SEE THE CONTAINERS FOR SALE IN PERSON?

Yes, all of our containers are located at 11 Gavitt Avenue, Westerly, RI 02891. We are open Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm. We are happy to show customers the containers in person.
