How to Buy Shipping Containers with VersaVault Step 1: A Conversation

At VersaVault, we focus on the human side of the transaction, and you’ll always be dealing directly with one of our employees. We aim to provide the best shipping container for your specific needs, every time. Whether you know exactly what you want or are just getting started, we start the shipping container-buying process the same way, with a discussion centered on helping you make an informed decision regarding size, grade, color, and any additional features you may be looking for. We’ll be happy to explain how to buy shipping containers, answer any questions you have on the containers we have available, and give you all the information you need to decide what works best for you. We carry all sizes, types, and grades of containers available, with information available on our shipping container sizes and grades for your clarification. Whatever you’re looking for, we have it, at our facilities near Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. We encourage you to come to one of our locations to pick out the exact container you want. Once you’ve figured out which shipping container(s) you want and where we will be delivering it, we will quote you a price that factors in the container alongside delivery costs.

How to Buy Shipping Containers with VersaVault Step 2: Delivery

The next step in receiving your storage container starts with a delivery method tailored to your location. We deliver all our units with a 4500 four-wheel drive dually pick-up truck and 40’ tilt bed trailer or tilt bed truck. This allows us to get your unit wherever you want it, no matter how difficult the placement of the shipping container may be.

It also ensures we leave as minimal a footprint as possible when placing your unit. The driver will coordinate with you and we will place it exactly where you want it, ensuring you won’t have to hassle with moving the shipping container after we’ve delivered it. We also have a mule to help maneuver the shipping container after unloading it.

For a 40’ shipping container we will need approximately 100’ of clear space to back up, drop and pull out from your container. For a 20’ shipping container we can place the unit with as little as 50’.  This option is best for customers with open lots or easy access to the desired location. We typically place them on two 6×6’s front and back or a bed of gravel but site prep and placement is up to you.
