How Much Does Container Transport Cost in Phoenix?
Pricing for container moves is generally priced by the hour, and varies based on several factors including container size (20′ or 40′), distance, accessibility of pickup and drop-off locations, and whether the container needs to be loaded from the ground.
For accurate pricing, please call our dispatch at (602) 377-0036. Our dispatcher will ask about:
- Container size (20′ or 40′)
- Pickup and drop-off addresses
- Accessibility of both locations (clear space, obstacles, overhead clearance)
- Whether the container is on the ground or needs to be loaded
- Timeline (same-day, short notice, or scheduled)
💡 Tip: Photos of the pickup and drop-off locations are most helpful for accurate estimates. Send photos showing the container location, access points, overhead clearance, and any obstacles (trees, power lines, fences, etc.) to help our dispatcher provide the most accurate pricing.
Short notice and same-day moves are often possible. Call dispatch to check availability and get a quote for your specific container transport needs.
Space Requirements for Container Delivery
Proper space and clearance are essential for safe container delivery. Our specialized tilt-bed trucks need adequate room to maneuver and unload containers. Here are the key requirements:
Requirements for Delivery:
- Width: 10-12 feet of clear width for the truck and container
- Height: 14-16 feet of overhead clearance (especially important when the container is tilted during unloading)
- Length: 100-120 feet of straight-line space for 40′ containers (60+ feet for 20′ containers)
- Container Height: 9′ 6″ for standard containers, 12′-14′ when on transport chassis
- Truck & Trailer Length: Approximately 65 feet total
⚠️ Important: Please make sure there are no low-hanging obstacles like tree branches, electrical lines, phone lines, or other overhead obstructions at both the pickup and drop-off locations.
When the container is tilted on our specialized tilt-bed trailer during unloading, it requires 14′-16′ of vertical clearance. The truck also needs 100-120 feet of straight-line space to pull forward and position the container properly.
Photos of both locations are most helpful to ensure we can safely access and deliver your container. Send photos showing access points, overhead clearance, and any potential obstacles when you call dispatch.
Container Transport FAQs
Can you load a container that is on the ground?
Yes, using a “Landoll” trailer or tilt-bed truck with a winch, we can drag and lift a container from the ground onto the truck, provided it is empty or lightly loaded and structurally sound.
Do I need a crane?
Not usually. Our tilt-bed trucks allow the container to slide off the back gently. However, if you need the container placed over a fence or in a tight spot the truck can’t reach, you may need to hire a crane.
Do containers need to be empty?
Yes. Containers must be empty for transport. We transport empty 20′ and 40′ shipping containers. Loaded containers are too heavy for our equipment and generally require heavy-duty semi-truck transport. If you have questions about container weight or contents, please call dispatch.
Can you do same-day or short notice moves?
Yes, short notice and same-day moves are often possible. Call dispatch at (602) 377-0036 to check availability. We frequently handle container moves from construction job sites with short notice.
How is container transport priced?
Container transport is generally priced by the hour. Pricing depends on container size (20′ or 40′), distance, accessibility of locations, and whether the container needs to be loaded from the ground. For accurate pricing, call dispatch with details about your pickup and drop-off locations. Photos of both locations are most helpful for accurate estimates.
How much space do you need to deliver?
For a 20ft container, we typically need about 60 feet of straight-line space (container length + truck length + maneuvering room). For 40ft containers, we need significantly more (100+ feet).
