At Giant Lock Box, we offer several different types of shipping containers to choose from, including:
Giant Lock Box also offers a variety of specialty containers to serve our client’s special needs.
If shipping or storing oversized items, consider using an open-sided container. These containers are designed for items that don’t easily fit into a standard-sized shipping container. The entire 20’ or 40’ side opens for easy loading and unloading of contents.
Consider an open-top container if you’re shipping or storing items that are too tall to fit through standard container doors. This type of container comes with either a canvas or metal roof and lets you load items from the top.
Another way to ship or store tall items is with a high-cube container. These extra-tall containers are 9’6” tall compared to the 8’6” height of a standard container.
Consider a double-door container if you need to access your contents from either end of a container. These containers are available in 20’ or 40’ sizes, in both normal and high-cube heights, and have doors on both ends.
Consider an insulated container if you’re storing or shipping items that need to be kept at a constant temperature. These containers protect your contents from extremes of temperature and humidity and are available in a variety of sizes and types.
Consider a refrigerated container if you’re shipping or storing food or other perishable items. This type of container keeps your items fresh at your choice's constant temperature and humidity, from -30 degrees to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you own or manage a business, you know all about using large containers for shipping your products. Many businesses also use large containers for overflow and long-term storage, as well as for additional office space when you overflow your current facility.
Here are just some of the ways companies use shipping containers in their business:
Pennsylvania oil, natural gas, and fracking companies are major users of shipping containers. Shipping containers are perfect for short- and long-term storage and facility needs for these companies.
For example, oil companies use shipping containers as onsite offices for drilling rigs. They call shipping containers “doghouses,” they often function as a combination office, tool shed, lunchroom, communications room, and general meeting place for the drilling crew. The doghouse stays at the rig as long as it’s active; then, it can be moved to another site as needed.
Many federal, state, and local government agencies have a use for shipping containers. Some agencies use shipping containers for mobile offices or classrooms, others for long- or short-term storage. Other agencies use shipping containers as emergency command centers for real-life emergencies and training exercises. Containers are perfect when an agency has an immediate need for space.
You don’t have to be a big business to find uses for shipping containers. Many people use shipping containers for shipping their personal belongings, as well as storing them for extended periods of time.
If you’re a homeowner, consider using a shipping container to ship your belongings when you move to a new home or as temporary storage if you’re remodeling or renovating your house. If you’re contemplating renting a commercial storage unit to store your belongings, renting a standard-sized shipping container is a safe, secure, and less costly alternative.
Today's three most common container sizes are 20’ standard, 40’ standard, and the taller 40’ high cube.
A 20’ shipping container is ideal if you have limited needs or space. It’s also a good size for smaller commercial companies that want easy shipping, available in both standard (8’6”) and high-cube (9’6”) heights.
If you have more to store or ship than will fit in a standard 20’ container, consider a larger 40’ shipping container. This is the size that most people think of when they envision a standard shipping or Conex container.
A 40’ high cube container is just a foot taller than a 40’ container. This is the ideal container if you have tall items to ship or store.
Purchasing a shipping container costs less than you might think.
Giant Lock Box offers the most competitive pricing for containers in the state of Pennsylvania. Know, however, that different-sized containers are priced differently.
How much does a 20-foot shipping container cost? The typical 20’ container runs around $2,500 for used units and $3,900 for new containers, although prices will vary depending on features and where they’re shipped to.
How much does a 40-foot shipping container cost? The typical 40’ container costs about 20% to 30% more than a 20’ unit, or around $3,300 for used and $5,000 for new 40' containers.
In addition, specialty containers, such as insulated or refrigerated containers, typically are priced higher because of their enhanced functionality. We also offer used shipping containers at about 60% of new container prices. Contact us today for a quote for your specific needs.
