LGI Transport provides strong, adaptable containers for sale that are suitable for various purposes, whether they are being used for storage, transportation, or specialized projects. For residential and business use, a 20-foot shipping container offers the right transportation ratio to space.
These weatherproof bins are ideal for keeping tools on a building site, excess inventory in a warehouse, or farming supplies because they are made to shield your possessions from the weather. They are already adaptable and convenient to move and put up because of their reasonable size.
Here are some key considerations when buying a 20-foot shipping container. Determine your intended usage first: storage, transportation, or a creative endeavor like a pop-up store.
Next, check the container’s condition to make sure there are no leaks, rust, or structural issues—especially if you’re purchasing a secondhand one. Think about whether any special features, such as additional windows, doors, or insulation, are required to meet your unique requirements. Lastly, consider the delivery cost and ensure your location is prepared for the container’s arrival.
If you’re not sure whether to buy or rent, buying gives more long-term cost-effectiveness and customization options, while renting is frequently an intelligent alternative for temporary needs.

However, there are still some common-sense preparation tasks you should complete before you have your storage container(s) delivered. Use these tips and your delivery will go off without a hitch:
● Choose a flat, dry, and hard location to place the container.
● Ensure the delivery area is clean and clear of debris.
● Make room for the delivery truck — move anything in the way and leave extra space for the truck to clear any other nearby vehicles.
● Schedule the delivery for a time you are available (or can authorize someone who is) to sign the paperwork — we need your signature to finish the dropoff.
