Shipping container delivery in Montana
We deliver throughout Montana, including Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman and Helena. 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 Montana
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. In deep cold, an insulated container keeps tools, paint and supplies from freezing and makes a far more comfortable workshop or office. In high-wind areas, a container's weight keeps it planted where a shed would fail. Place it with the doors away from the prevailing wind.
