Shipping Container Questions

What sizes of steel shipping containers are most common?

20-foot and 40-foot containers are most common. 10-foot, 45-foot and high-cube options may be available depending on the local market.

What is the difference between one-trip and used?

One-trip containers have made a limited cargo trip and normally have cleaner appearance. Used wind-and-water-tight containers can offer strong storage value when condition is properly described.

Should I buy, rent or lease?

Buy for long-term use, repeat projects or approved modifications. Compare rental or lease when the need is temporary and the full term, delivery and pickup costs are known.

How much does delivery cost?

Mileage, container location, equipment and site access affect delivery. A current delivered quote for the ZIP code is more useful than a national average.

People Who Needed the Right Container

Established companies, farms and local businesses have used Harper Steel's comparison process for real storage and job-site needs.

“
We had multiple commercial-use projects at job sites and required a steady source of water-tight containers. We were able to save hundreds on each one by not jumping at the first price we saw.
Jon DavisCartwright Builders

“
Our farmers market had storage and security needs and a steel shipping container was the solution we decided on. Having never bought one before I appreciated the easy process. I was able to see how much I almost overpaid elsewhere.
