Shipping container delivery in New Mexico
We deliver throughout New Mexico, including Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and Roswell. 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 New Mexico
In strong sun and heat, a light paint color, roof vents or an insulated container keeps the inside much cooler. Insulated container offices are popular for job sites. 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.
