Denver, the vibrant capital of Colorado, is renowned for its dynamic blend of cultural richness, economic vitality, and outdoor adventure. Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, the Mile-High City offers a thriving economy with key industries like technology, aerospace, and energy, alongside a bustling arts scene and abundant recreational opportunities. In this rapidly growing urban environment, shipping containers have become an integral part of Denver’s landscape. They are increasingly used to address the city’s housing needs through affordable and innovative living solutions, including tiny homes and modular apartments.
Additionally, containers serve commercial purposes, providing flexible and cost-effective spaces for pop-up shops, food trucks, and creative ventures. This versatility extends to artistic and event spaces, where containers are transformed into unique installations and temporary venues. As Denver continues to expand, shipping containers offer practical, sustainable solutions to support its diverse and evolving needs.

Delivery Options in Denver
Tilt Body Truck
Container Sales Group uses a tilt body truck (also known as a roll-off truck) for delivering shipping containers less than 200 miles. The bed of this truck will hydraulicly lift behind the truck cab at an angle to let the container slide off with ease as the truck pulls forward. This means that the driver will arrive on-site and set the container on the ground with no additional equipment.
Flatbed Truck
For long delivery distances over 200 miles, Container Sales Group uses a flatbed truck or step-deck trailer which are typically the most available and affordable transportation method. 20 & 40ft Standard (8’ 6” high) containers are loaded on a flatbed truck, tightly secured, and driven to the delivery site. Any High Cube (9’ 6” high) shipping containers must be delivered on a Step-Deck Trailer, because of highway height restrictions. The only downside to a flatbed or step-deck truck is it requires a forklift or crane operator to remove the shipping container from the truck at the delivery site.
