Shipping container delivery in Massachusetts
We deliver throughout Massachusetts, including Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge and Lowell. Most containers arrive on a tilt-bed truck, which slides the container straight onto your prepared spot. A 20ft container needs about 60ft of straight-line clearance and a 40ft needs about 100ft. Where access is tight, we can arrange a crane. Ground should be firm and level; gravel, concrete blocks or railroad ties all work well. See our shipping policy for details.
Climate tips for containers in Massachusetts
Containers handle snow loads well, but clear heavy drifts from the doors and choose a roll-up door container or a container with a personnel door if you need access all winter. Near the coast, choose a well-painted Corten steel container and touch up scratches quickly to slow salt-air corrosion.
