What about delivery?
We offer several different delivery options:
Tilt decks: Tilt decks are self-unloading trucks that are designed to back into place, tilt the deck downwards and slide the container off the trailer. This is typically the most cost-effective self-unloading method but requires the most run space. 20’ tilt decks require about 60’ of run space whereas 40’ tilt decks require a minimum of 120’ of run space.
HIAB Crane Truck: We offer a variety of crane trucks in various sizes. This option will allow us to get the shipping container into tighter areas and provides the benefit of lifting over obstacles like fences. It’s important for our team to understand exactly what you are trying to accomplish so we can arrange the right size crane.
Flat Deck: Flat decks are typically the most cost-effective option, but they require the customer to have the proper equipment on site to off-load.
What is the difference between STD and HC?
STD (standard height) is 8.5’ (exterior height). HC (high cube) is 9.5’ (exterior height).
Can I pick up my container?
Yes, payment is due prior to pick up. Once payment is received, we can issue a release# for you to pick up the container.
Can I come and choose my container?
Yes, we do ensure that all containers are watertight. However, if you make the request to select your container, we can either send you photo options or you can come to one of our locations and hand-pick the unit you want!
What is the difference between New (1-trip) & Used Containers?
Used Containers: These units typically spend about 10 – 15 years circulating cargo for the steamship lines before they are retired. During this time it's normal for the container to incur some dents and surface rust, the floors are also going to show much more wear than a 1-trip container. All our containers are inspected to ensure they are watertight!
New (1-trip) Containers: We build new containers at the factory in Asia. To mitigate the freight cost from the factory to our locations the container is given to freight companies that essentially borrow the shipping container to transport their goods one time. Thus, the name “1-trip” the container can incur some minor dents and scuffs along its journey from the factory.
Do you ship to the USA?
Yes, we now sell bare containers in Washington and can quote to ship modified containers all over the United States.
