Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between a new (one-trip) and used 20ft container?
A “one-trip” container is manufactured overseas and makes a single cargo journey, arriving in near-mint condition. A “used” container has seen 10-15 years of ocean freight service; it may show minor dents or surface rust, but remains structurally sound and 100% wind and water tight.
How much space is needed for delivering a 20ft container?
A tilt-bed delivery truck requires approximately 60 feet of straight-line clearance in front of the drop location to safely unload a 20ft container.
