Berkeley Container Prices: What the Market Monitor Shows
The Market Monitor is Eveon's index of used container prices, built from daily retail price observations in every region Eveon serves. It is useful before you buy because one quote can miss the wider pattern. The monitor gives you a regional reference point before you commit to a container.
For Berkeley buyers, the Oakland regional figures are on the Oakland Market Monitor page. Use the button just below to open that view. Those figures are regional averages, not Eveon's price for your address. Eveon's live price for your ZIP appears in the tiles above.

- Container supply. Oakland is the supply market for Berkeley. Used container inventory for Oakland reaches the market directly through Oakland Seaport marine terminals, where ocean containers are handled for Northern California before drayage moves equipment into Bay Area depot yards.

20ft or 40ft Shipping Container for Sale in Berkeley: How to Choose
A 20ft container is usually the easier choice when access is tight. It weighs 4,914 lbs, is 8 feet wide and has a standard exterior height of 8 feet 6 inches. It still needs enough straight run for delivery, but it is often the better fit for smaller lots and shorter driveways.
A 40ft container gives more storage area for the footprint and weighs 8,159 lbs, while a 40ft High Cube weighs 8,747 lbs. The High Cube keeps the same 8 feet width but raises exterior height to 9 feet 6 inches. These sizes follow ISO 668, ISO 1161 and ISO 1496 standards.
Delivery in Berkeley: What Your Site Needs
Eveon delivery uses tilt bed, so the container slides off the back of the truck onto your prepared spot; flatbed costs less but you offload it yourself. That tilt-bed delivery is simple when the approach is clear, straight and firm enough for the truck to work safely.
Plan for 80 to 100 feet of run-out space for a 20ft container and about 120 feet for a 40ft container. The truck also needs 12 to 14 feet of width and 14 to 16 feet of overhead clearance. Branches, wires, gates and parked vehicles should be considered before you order.
The right surfaces are dry compacted gravel, dry compacted dirt, asphalt and concrete. Mud, sand, soft grass and sloped ground do not work. An unlevel site can also make the doors bind after placement. If you are unsure, Eveon can confirm delivery from photographs before ordering.
