Delivery Options
When you buy a shipping container from us, our average delivery timeline for most customers is 7-10 business days in the greater Tampa area after we receive your payment. Delivery timelines can vary due to weather, availability, and a few other factors. Our logistics and delivery team will contact you to set-up specific details about how and when you can receive your container.
You will get to choose one of these delivery options:
Roll Off Delivery - The container will arrive on a trailer that will tilt back and place the edge of the container on the ground. The trailer will pull away and let the container slide, or roll off onto the ground. You will need about 2.5x the length of the container for the trailer to complete this process. For example, a 20' container will need at least 50 feet of straight space to deliver and unload.
Customer Assist Delivery - This method requires the customer to have an anchor point on the delivery site. A chain can be attached to the container to provide some lift, and then the chain will be attached to the anchor point. The trailer will then pull away and the container will either float or slide onto the ground depending on your anchor system and process.
Uses For a 20' Container
Residential Use
Are you struggling to find a garden shed that fits your budget or need more space for your cars and bikes than your garage provides? A shipping container might be the perfect solution. With a surge in the availability of used shipping containers no longer fit for cargo, more people are turning to them for home storage.
Shipping containers offer numerous benefits. They are more affordable than a garage extension and typically provide more space than any garden shed. Despite not being suitable for shipping, these containers remain incredibly protective against the elements, ensuring your belongings stay safe and dry. Moreover, purchasing a shipping container for home storage often requires less hassle than obtaining planning permission for a home or garage extension. This makes shipping containers a quick and convenient storage solution.
Commercial Use
In recent years, businesses have increasingly embraced the versatility of shipping containers. Beyond the popular trend of container offices, companies are finding them to be excellent storage solutions. Like residential users, businesses can save significantly by opting for shipping containers instead of renting or building traditional storage facilities like warehouses. As businesses grow, they can simply add more containers to meet their expanding storage needs.
Plus, many businesses are converting shipping containers into functional spaces such as offices, food trucks, and event venues. The adaptability of shipping containers makes them a cost-effective and innovative choice for various commercial applications.
Agricultural Use
The wind and watertight properties of shipping containers make them ideal for agricultural purposes, particularly for growing food. Shipping containers are becoming popular for hydroponic farming, especially in harsh climates where traditional farming is challenging.
This trend offers great potential for commercial food production, such as for restaurant owners in urban or suburban areas lacking green spaces. It also presents new opportunities for community gardening, providing a controlled environment where plants are protected from adverse weather conditions. Shipping containers thus open up new avenues for sustainable and efficient agricultural practices.
