Shipping container delivery in Rhode Island
We deliver throughout Rhode Island, including Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket and Newport. 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 Rhode Island
Near the coast, choose a well-painted Corten steel container and touch up scratches quickly to slow salt-air corrosion. 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.
