New York City questions

Shipping container questions New York City buyers ask.

Can a 40ft container fit on a New York City lot?

Sometimes. Manhattan lots are usually too tight for 40ft delivery. Outer boroughs (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island) are more flexible. Send photos of your placement spot and approach path — we'll confirm before scheduling.

Do you need a permit for a container in NYC?

Yes — most NYC placements require a Department of Buildings permit (containers fall under "construction equipment storage" rules). Allow 2-4 weeks for permit approval before delivery. Some private property uses qualify for exemptions.

What about parking restrictions during delivery?

We coordinate with our customers on parking permits for the tilt-bed truck. NYC commercial vehicle parking rules apply during delivery — typically 30-60 minutes is the window for placement.
