Benefits Of Building with Shipping Containers in Houston
Buying a shipping container from a supplier serving the Houston market offers advantages over national brokers. Regional inventory allows for faster delivery times, reduced transportation costs, and better visibility into available container conditions. Buyers can choose from New/One-Trip, Used, Wind & Water Tight (WWT), Cargo Worthy, and specialty containers with accurate grading.
Houston deliveries often involve port access routes, industrial zones, and areas affected by heavy rain, high humidity, and extreme heat. Local knowledge of site access, scheduling, and weather-related considerations such as tropical storms and flooding helps reduce delays and avoid unexpected delivery challenges. Working with an experienced supplier provides reliable service, clearer communication, and a smoother overall purchasing process.

Sizes of Containers for Sale
Container Sales Group offers a variety of container sizes depending on your needs. 20- and 40-ft. containers are available to buy both new and used. Looking for containers to build a space for your home or business? Read our guide on shipping container uses.
20ft. containers are the most commonly used size. If you are looking to transport heavy cargo like machinery or raw materials, this may be the right container size for you.
40ft. containers are, unsurprisingly, best for transporting bulkier items that may not fit into 20ft. containers, including furniture, vehicles, or large clothing shipments.
If you need even more space than is offered by a standard 40ft. container, consider a 40ft. high cube, which offers an extra foot of vertical space compared to the 40ft. standard.

Shipping Container Delivery in Houston
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.
