Delivery Options
When you purchase a 40 foot shipping container from us, our average timeline on delivery for the majority of 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
Finding the perfect garden shed within your budget or additional space for your cars and bikes can be challenging. A shipping container could be the ideal solution. With a growing number of used shipping containers available for sale, more homeowners are turning to these sturdy structures for their storage needs.
Shipping containers offer several advantages. They are typically more cost-effective than extending your garage and provide significantly more space than a standard garden shed. Even if no longer suitable for shipping, these containers remain highly protective against the elements, ensuring your possessions stay secure and dry. Plus,
buying a shipping container often involves less red tape compared to obtaining planning permission for home extensions, making it a quick and easy storage solution.
Commercial Use
Businesses are increasingly recognizing the versatility of shipping containers. Beyond their rising popularity as container offices, these containers provide excellent storage solutions for companies. Shipping containers offer a budget-friendly alternative to renting or constructing traditional storage facilities like warehouses. As businesses expand, they can easily increase their storage capacity by adding more containers.
Additionally, shipping containers can be transformed into various commercial spaces, including offices, food trucks, and event venues. Their adaptability and cost-efficiency make shipping containers an innovative choice for a wide range of commercial uses.
Agricultural Use
Shipping containers, with their wind and watertight design, are perfect for agricultural applications, especially for growing food. They are becoming a popular choice for hydroponic farming, particularly in regions where traditional farming is difficult due to harsh climates.
This approach benefits those looking to produce food commercially, such as restaurant owners in urban areas lacking green spaces. It also opens up new possibilities for community gardening, providing a controlled environment that shields plants from adverse weather conditions. Shipping containers thus offer a sustainable and efficient solution for modern agriculture.
