So, what are some of the types of containers we sell, how are they transported, and what types of customization services do we offer?
Types of Containers That We Sell
LGI Transport provides 20-foot, 40-foot, and 40-foot High Cube shipping containers. These shipping containers come with a cam and lock system, are made from 14-gauge (3/4-inch thick) high-strength steel, and are incredibly durable while being corrosion-resistant. Made from high-strength steel alloy, our shipping containers will protect your valuables or shipment from weather, moisture, rot, or humidity.
Coming in at about 5,000 pounds, our 20-foot shipping containers have a 20-foot length, a width of 8 feet, and a height of 8 feet, 6 inches. These high-strength shipping containers allow for up to 1,170 cu-ft of storage and come with 1 ⅛” marine plywood interior flooring.
Our 40-foot storage containers weigh around 8,000 pounds and have the same dimensions as our 20-foot shipping containers, with the exception being the length of 40 feet. These 40-foot containers allow for up to 2,200 cubic feet of storage while most often holding up to 59,000 pounds of cargo.
When a little more space is needed, our customers can choose our High Cube 40-foot containers. With an extra foot of storage, customers have an additional 344 cubic feet to store whatever cargo they need. All of our containers have been used for intermodal, overseas, and cross-country shipments, in addition to being converted into stationary or semi-permanent mobile offices.
We Transport & Deliver Our Shipping Containers
One of the more common complaints we hear is how other companies provide their shipping containers. These companies typically overcharge for the use of a crane and other equipment. LGI Transport is different. We don’t need extra equipment or heavy industrial machinery when transporting or delivering our shipping containers to our Scranton, PA customers.
LGI Transport has several tilt-bed / rollback trucks along with an expansive footprint covering California, Florida, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, and Michigan. Our rollback trucks have a high-strength hydraulic system that allows us to transport, load, and unload shipping containers without the need for other equipment.
When we arrive on-site, we take all the necessary precautions to always ensure safety. Our rollback trucks position themselves immediately behind the shipping containers. Our flatbed is lowered and maneuvered onto our flatbed truck. When unloading, we simply turn on the hydraulic system and slowly tilt the flatbed at an angle to unload your storage container.
This ensures you save money, don’t have to spend an inordinate amount of time waiting for service, and never have to worry about additional surcharges.
Containers Can Be Modified To Meet Your Specifications
Our Scranton, PA customers have multiple uses for our 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers. Some need them for temporary storage or at a job site. Some need them for personal storage. Some need them to be configured into mobile offices and others need them for overseas or cross-country transport.
LGI Transport provides multiple customization options to suit whatever needs you have. We can turn 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers into temporary offices by installing doors, windows, and flooring. We can configure these shipping containers for certain types of cargo, taking extra steps to ensure your valuables are secure.
