Shipping Containers for Sale Newark, NJ

Newark is home to Port Newark, the largest on the East Coast and the third largest in the United States. This port was pivotal in the history of container shipping, particularly following a critical development in 1956 when trucker Malcom McLean launched the first container ship, the Ideal X, from Port Newark to Houston. This event revolutionized the transport of goods by significantly reducing shipping time thus transforming global trade. Container Sales Group’s storage facility is located directly in Newark, making it convenient for picking up your shipping container or having it professionally delivered.

Popular Shipping Container Uses in Newark

In Newark, shipping containers are increasingly being utilized for innovative and practical applications beyond traditional storage. One of the most notable uses is in affordable housing developments. Newark is constructing entire communities from modified shipping containers, offering a cost-effective solution to housing shortages that aim to rejuvenate neighborhoods with modern, sustainable living options.

Additionally, shipping containers in Newark are repurposed for commercial uses such as trendy pop-up retail shop, bars and cafes. This creative adaptation provides businesses flexible, mobile, and cost-efficient business spaces, allowing them to set up in various locations and cater to different markets without the high overhead costs associated with permanent structures.

Benefits Of Building with Shipping Containers in Newark

Shipping containers are made with strong Cor-Ton steel, which makes them a good option for the construction of homes and buildings. The prices of the custom-built shipping container homes range from $50,000 to $500,000 depending on the features that are important to you. Repurposed shipping container homes are more environmentally friendly, allowing you to re-use materials that may eventually end up in a landfill.

40ft. Shipping Containers:
40ft. containers are, unsurprisingly, best for transporting bulkier items that may not fit into 20ft. containers, including furniture, vehicles, or large clothing shipments.

Delivery Options in Newark

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.

Newark Weather and Shipping Containers

To protect shipping containers from severe weather in Newark, it’s important to consider various preventative measures due to the potential impacts of high winds, heavy rain, freezing temperatures, and other harsh weather elements. These conditions can pose risks to both the structural integrity of the containers and the safety of the contents inside. Effective strategies include ensuring containers are well-maintained to prevent rust and deterioration, using wind-rated tie-downs to secure containers during storms, and implementing proper insulation to manage extreme temperatures. Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to extend the lifespan of the containers and safeguard their contents against weather-related damage

Here are some additional tactics on trying to keep control of the air quality inside your shipping container in the summer – or year-round if you’re in a harsh climate:

Place your shipping container in the shade out of direct sunlight.
Place a moisture absorber at each end of the shipping container to absorb moisture. It’s inexpensive but requires monitoring and regular replacement based on the humidity level.
Install cross-ventilation windows.
Install extractor fans to purge hot air.
Arrange items inside the shipping container in a way that will increase airflow – stack them off the floor on shelves or clean pallets and avoid storing items too closely together.
Regularly check the humidity inside your shipping container with a moisture meter or temperature gun. That way, you’ll know if you need to do something to better control the air quality before any contents get damaged.
Set the shipping container on gravel or 6-inch pressure-treated blocks for better air circulation.
Keep the shipping container on high ground to avoid flooding and standing water.
Keep the roof clear of leaves and moss since they trap moisture.
Separate containers by 6 feet for better airflow.
Keep air vents unblocked.
Avoid storing anything inside with high moisture content.
