Shipping container delivery in Washington
We deliver throughout Washington, including Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver and Yakima. 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 Washington
In wet climates, set the container on blocks or a gravel pad so water drains away from the floor, and keep the door seals clean. 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.
