We buy and sell new and used containers; they come from a variety of source both domestic and international. The rising costs of steel and aluminum container prices have risen in the last few years. Contact us for a current cost; we need to know, what size, quality, and if you need delivery.
Size: Containers come in these main sizes. 20ft , 20ft HC, 40ft, 40ft HC, 45ft, 45ft HC, 53ft, and 53ft HC. HC stands for high cube. HC containers are about 1 ft taller.
Dry containers 20′ and 40′ (general purpose) are manufactured from either aluminum or steel. They are suitable for most types of cargo. Aluminum dry containers have a slightly larger payload than steel, and steel dry containers have a slightly larger internal cube.
