How to Prepare for a Smooth Shipping Container Delivery
Before your shipping container arrives, a little preparation can make the entire delivery process quick and stress-free.
Make Sure There’s Enough Space
- Width Clearance: At least 12 ft wide for the delivery truck and container.
- Height Clearance: Minimum 16 ft overhead — free from tree branches, power lines, or building overhangs.
- Straight-Line Access:
- 75 feet for one 20 ft container
- 120 feet for one 40 ft container or two 20-ft containers delivered together
Check Weather & Ground Conditions
- Rain, snow, or soft ground can delay or complicate your delivery. Please make sure the area is dry, firm, and level before the driver arrives.
Prepare a Solid, Level Surface
- A flat surface ensures that your container doors open and close properly after delivery.
- Good base options include gravel, asphalt, or concrete. Avoid soft soil or uneven terrain that could cause settling.
Choose an Accessible Delivery Site
- The delivery truck must be able to drive in, tilt the bed, and roll the container off in a straight line.
- Avoid steep slopes, tight turns, or obstacles — these can make it difficult or impossible to complete delivery safely.
Container Questions
Yes, new (one-trip) containers typically come in standard colors such as beige or gray depending on the manufacturer. If you’re looking for a specific container color, let us know when you request a quote. We can often guarantee your color preference at the time of purchase. When it comes to Used shipping containers we do not sell by color or manufacturer, it would just off the top of a stack of containers that have been inspected for water/wind tight criteria.
Yes, new one-trip shipping containers are built to ISO standards and usually come with a valid CSC (Container Safety Convention) plate, which certifies them for international shipping. If you’re planning to use the container for overseas transport, please let us know so we can confirm the certification details before you buy.
New shipping containers are equipped with marine-grade plywood floors, typically 1-1/8″ thick, supported by steel cross members. This flooring is treated to resist moisture and pests, making it ideal for long-term storage or heavy-duty industrial use. Some models also feature eco-friendly bamboo composite floors with similar strength and durability.
A new (one-trip) container can last 25 years or more when properly maintained. Made from Corten steel, these units are designed to resist corrosion and weather damage. Regular maintenance like keeping the roof clear of debris, ensuring proper ventilation, and touching up any surface scratches will help extend the lifespan especially for on-site storage applications.
Not necessarily. Although new (one-trip) containers are in like-new condition, they may have minor blemishes from loading and unloading during their initial shipment. Small dents or scratches are common and do not affect performance or structure. If you require a container with minimal cosmetic wear, be sure to request photos before purchase.
Once you decide on the container size (e.g., 20 ft. or 40 ft. new shipping container) and whether you need delivery, we’ll email an invoice. To proceed, we’ll need your Name or Company Name, Billing and Delivery Address, Email, and container placement instructions (e.g., doors to the cab or rear of the truck). After payment, we’ll either schedule delivery or provide pickup and depot release information.
New one-trip containers often come with a lock box pre-installed, which provides added security by covering the padlock and protecting it from bolt cutters.
New or One-Trip shipping containers are manufactured overseas and shipped once with cargo to the United States. They arrive in like-new condition with minimal wear, clean marine-grade floors, smooth-operating doors, and a uniform appearance. Used containers retired from 10-15 years of international shipping, so they show more visible wear but remain structurally sound and cost-effective for storage. There are two main used-grade options:
- Wind & Water Tight (WWT) – Retired from moving cargo overseas, these units are inspected to ensure there are no leaks, holes, or structural breaches. Perfect for on-site storage where looks aren’t critical but keeping contents dry is.
- Cargo Worthy (CW) – Meets international shipping standards for export use. These containers are structurally sound, stackable, and suitable for transport after passing survey inspection.
