Shipping container delivery in North Carolina
We deliver throughout North Carolina, including Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham and Wilmington. 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 North Carolina
Humidity can cause condensation inside bare steel, so we recommend vents, an anti-condensation coating or an insulated container for stored furniture, paper or electronics. In hurricane-prone areas, place the container on a level, firm base and ask us about tie-down points. Steel containers are far stronger in high winds than sheds or garages.
