Long Beach Shipping Container FAQs
What sizes of used shipping containers are available for sale in Long Beach?
In Long Beach, you can find standard shipping container sizes to fit various needs. The most common options include:
-
20-foot containers: These are roughly 20’ x 8’ x 8.5’ and offer about 160 square feet of secure storage space. They’re popular for home renovation storage and small construction projects.
-
40-foot containers: Standard 40’ x 8’ x 8.5’ containers provide double the space (about 320 sq. ft.), ideal for large construction sites or multiple-room household storage.
-
40-foot High-Cube containers: These are 40’ long but taller (9.5’ high), giving extra vertical space for bulky items or equipment. High-cubes are great when you need a bit more headroom for stacking materials.
Other specialized types like refrigerated reefers or open-top containers are also available, but most local construction companies and homeowners in Long Beach opt for the standard dry freight containers (20ft or 40ft). All these options can be purchased as used units (many are “one-trip” containers that have only made a single journey, so they’re almost like new) or even new, depending on your budget and requirements.
How can local construction companies in Long Beach benefit from using shipping containers?
Construction companies in Long Beach, CA often use shipping containers as a smart on-site solution. Here’s why they’re so beneficial:
-
Secure Storage: Theft at construction sites is a major concern – equipment theft alone costs the industry millions annually.
-
A sturdy steel shipping container provides a secure lockable space to store tools, machinery, and materials. Unlike flimsy sheds, a container’s corten steel build and heavy-duty locks deter break-ins, keeping valuable equipment safe after hours.
-
On-Site Office or Workspace: Many contractors turn containers into mobile offices or break rooms by adding doors, windows, and AC. This gives a secure, weatherproof office right at the job site, saving time since managers don’t have to leave the site for paperwork or meetings.
-
Easy Relocation: Buying a container means it can move with you from project to project. When one job is done, the container can be loaded up and delivered to the next site easily. This mobility is a huge advantage – your investment serves multiple projects without needing to rent a new unit each time.
-
Weather Protection: Long Beach weather is generally mild, but we do get coastal moisture and an occasional storm. Containers are wind and watertight, protecting materials from rain or ocean air. Building materials, cement bags, and electrical supplies stay dry and rust-free inside a sealed container.
-
Cost Savings: Owning a used container can be more cost-effective than repeatedly renting storage. After a one-time purchase, you have years of use ahead. Plus, with the durability of these containers, a single unit can last for decades on various job sites.
Overall, local builders appreciate that a shipping container offers a reliable, all-in-one storage and site solution – it’s like having a secure shed and warehouse delivered right to the construction site.
Can Long Beach homeowners use shipping containers for home renovation or storage?
Absolutely! Homeowners and home renovators in Long Beach frequently use shipping containers to solve storage and space challenges:
-
During Renovations: If you’re remodeling your Long Beach home (for example, updating a kitchen in Belmont Shore or adding a room in Bixby Knolls), a 20-foot container on your driveway can hold your furniture, appliances, and personal items safely. This keeps belongings protected from dust or damage while contractors work inside your house. It’s like having a on-site portable storage unit – you don’t have to rent a distant storage locker and repeatedly move things back and forth.
-
Personal Storage: For individuals needing extra storage, a used shipping container is a great backyard solution. You can store landscaping equipment, bikes, seasonal decorations, or business inventory. Many residents use them as a secure shed – they’re weatherproof and rodent-proof, so your items stay dry and safe year-round.
-
Moving Houses: If you’re moving within or to Long Beach, buying a shipping container can double as a moving and storage solution. For example, you can load your household items into a container at your current residence, have it transported to your new Long Beach address, and then unload at your pace. After the move, you still own the container – you could keep it for storage at the new home or even resell it.
-
Creative Projects: Some Long Beach homeowners get creative – repurposing containers as workshops, art studios, or even as the base for tiny homes or outdoor offices. With some modifications (insulation, windows, electrical), a container can become a functional space for hobbies or remote work.
How are shipping containers delivered to sites in Long Beach?
Delivering a shipping container in Long Beach is a straightforward process that our team handles for you. Here’s what to expect with delivery logistics:
-
Delivery Method: We use a specialized tilt-bed truck (or roll-off trailer) to deliver the container. The truck will back into the spot and then gently lower the container to the ground by tilting the bed. This method doesn’t require a crane – the container slides off smoothly and is placed exactly where you need it (as long as the site is accessible).
-
Site Requirements: You’ll want to prepare a clear, level area for the container to sit on. The ground should be relatively firm (gravel, concrete, asphalt, or even hard-packed dirt are all fine). Ensure there’s enough space for the truck to maneuver; generally, the truck needs straight clearance roughly double the container’s length (about 80-100 feet for a 40’ unit) to unload safely. Make sure there are no low-hanging power lines, tree branches, or other obstructions in the path.
-
Scheduling: When you purchase, we’ll schedule a delivery date that works for you. Our drivers deliver containers throughout the Long Beach area regularly (US Conex has a local depot and can dispatch within days). On the scheduled day, the driver will give you a call when they’re en route. Deliveries are often done on weekdays during business hours, but special accommodations can be made if needed.
-
During Delivery: It’s a good idea for you (or a representative) to be on-site during delivery. The driver will position the container as you instruct. Containers can be placed on your driveway, in a yard, at a construction site, or even in a parking lot – wherever you need it. Once it’s in position, the driver will ensure it’s stable and on ground contact at all four corners. If you want it raised off the ground slightly (for example, on railroad ties or blocks for long-term placement), have those materials ready. The driver can set the container on them.
-
Post-Delivery: After placement, you’ll inspect the container to make sure its condition meets your expectations. One big benefit we offer is payment after delivery – meaning you don’t pay until the container is on the ground and you’re satisfied. (We’ll cover that more below.) Once you’re happy with everything, the delivery is complete and you can start using your container immediately!
What does “pay-after-delivery” mean when buying a shipping container?
Pay-after-delivery is exactly what it sounds like – you don’t pay for your container until after it’s been delivered to you.
This policy is a customer-friendly benefit we offer to Long Beach buyers (and all our customers). Here’s how it works and why it’s great:
-
No Upfront Payment: When you place an order, we prepare your container and schedule delivery, but you aren’t required to pay the full cost at that moment. Instead, payment is collected after the container arrives at your location and you’ve had a chance to inspect it. This might be via an invoice that becomes due upon delivery or a payment link you complete once you’ve received the container (our team will guide you through the simple process).
-
See Your Container First: The biggest advantage is peace of mind. Buying a shipping container is often a sight-unseen process – you might have seen photos or a description, but not the actual unit. With pay-after-delivery, you get to verify that the container meets your expectations before paying. When the truck delivers your container in Long Beach, you can walk around it, check the doors, the floor, and overall condition. Only when you’re satisfied do you complete the payment. This ensures you’re getting exactly what you were promised.
-
Trust and Transparency: We offer this because we’re confident in the quality of our containers. It builds trust – you don’t have to worry about scams or a bait-and-switch. For local customers, it’s also convenient: no need to drive to an office or bank; just pay once the container is safely on your property.
-
Customer Satisfaction: Pay-after-delivery is one of the reasons we have over 1000+ positive customer reviews. It ensures 100% customer satisfaction because if something were wrong (for example, the wrong type of container showed up, or there was unexpected damage), you would have the opportunity to address it before payment. We strive to avoid any such issues, but this policy gives you an extra layer of assurance.
