The main difference between storage containers is whether they are a roll-off or shipping container style. Various names can be used to describe the same thing, such as a cargo/shipping container, conex box, portable storage container, mobile storage container, and domestic containers. Typically the name the container is known by depends on your location and or region. Steel cargo storage containers are wind and water-tight, and are perfect for securing and storing items you do not want exposed to the elements.
Our containers are very strong and secure. Our cargo (conex box) containers have 14 gauge corrugated steel sides, a 14 gauge steel roof, and 14 gauge steel cam-locking double doors, along with 1 1/8″ thick marine wood floors.
Yes, your lock is protected with four cam rods and four padlock latches.
Your storage container will generally be delivered within 24-72 hours (Monday thru Friday).
Depending on the delivery location, typically a 20′ storage container needs about 75′ of clearance straight forward, while a 40′ generally requires approximately 100′. The width requirement is approximately 12′, with a minimum 20′ of overhead clearance. It is always important to speak with our dispatcher to discuss any potential obstacles like trees, signs, poles, and overhead wires prior to delivery to avoid unexpected issues.
PW Storage delivers your portable storage container with a tilt-bed truck. Our driver will back the trailer into the drop-off location and lower the end of the container. Once the container touches the ground, he will pull forward and the container will be dropped into place. Additionally, our dispatcher will ask which direction you would like the doors to face, and we will load the container with the doors facing the cab or to the rear, depending on your specific site requirements and needs.
The main thing to consider when preparing a site for your shipping container delivery is choosing a somewhat flat, level, and smooth, hard surface. It’s important to consider the overall combined weight of the truck, trailer and container. The best surfaces are concrete pads, asphalt paving, or other strong surfaces. If you require an off-road delivery, be sure to discuss the site conditions with our office so we can ensure a successful delivery.
Your delivery will be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. The day that your container is scheduled to be delivered to your job site, we will call to confirm and give you a 3-hour delivery window.
