Shipping container delivery in Missouri
We deliver throughout Missouri, including Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia and Independence. 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 Missouri
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. 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.
