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 Los Angeles
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most neighborhoods, shipping containers or conex boxes used for permanent or long-term structures—such as container homes or offices—may require permits. Temporary use, like on-site storage containers or job-site cargo containers, often does not. Regulations vary by zoning area, so it’s best to check with your city or village before placing your steel storage container on residential or commercial property.
Delivery of new or used shipping containers is typically available within 3–5 business days, depending on inventory and your site’s accessibility. Container Sales Group coordinates local container delivery directly from the nearest regional depot, ensuring quick turnaround for both 20-ft and 40-ft conex boxes.
Most Denver customers choose 20-ft standard or 40-ft high-cube shipping containers, which provide the best balance of space and affordability for residential storage, business operations, or container modification projects. The 40-ft high cube cargo container is especially popular in Colorado for workshops and modular builds that require extra vertical space.
The container itself does not require title or registration in the United States. Only vehicles with wheels require titles like a car, boat trailer, semi-trailers, etc.
Shipping container prices vary depending on the size and condition you need.
Container Sales Group can deliver with a tilt body truck (roll off) where the container will slide off the back of the truck to place safely on the ground. For any distance of over 200 miles, we offer a flatbed delivery service, where the customer is required to have a heavy piece of equipment available to lift container off the truck at time of arrival.
