20ft or 40ft Shipping Container for Sale in Santa Maria: How to Choose

A 40ft container is the cost-per-square-foot choice when the site has the longer straight run it needs. It has a tare weight of 8,159 lbs, while the 40ft High Cube has a tare weight of 8,747 lbs.

Delivery in Santa Maria: 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. For a 20ft container, plan for 80 to 100 feet of run-out space. For a 40ft container, plan for about 120 feet. The truck path also needs 12 to 14 feet of width and 14 to 16 feet of overhead clearance.
Surfaces that work are dry compacted gravel, dry compacted dirt, asphalt and concrete. Surfaces that do not are mud, sand, soft grass and sloped ground. A site that is not level can make the container doors bind, even when the container itself is sound. If you are unsure about access, Eveon can confirm delivery from photographs before ordering.
