Frequently asked questions
What is a drive-through conex?
It's a standard steel shipping container (conex) with a roll-up garage door at each end, or one on each long side. You can drive or roll equipment in one side and out the other.
How much does it cost?
At our yard, before sales tax and delivery: 20' used $6,995, 20' new $7,995, 40' used $7,495, and 40' high cube new $8,795. Front Range delivery is $395 to $995 by zone.
How wide and tall are the door openings?
End doors are about 7 ft wide, and side doors are 8 ft (10 ft on request). Clear height depends on the box and framing: about 6'6" to 7'4" on standard boxes, and taller on high cube. We confirm the exact clear opening on your quote.
Are roll-up doors as secure and watertight as the cargo doors?
Each door locks with a padlock hasp, and lockboxes are available. Roll-up doors aren't as tight as the original cargo doors. In hard, driving rain a little water can get in along the tracks. You can keep the cargo doors on one end if you prefer.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on your county or city and how long the container stays. Many places treat a container as an accessory structure. Check with your local planning office before you buy. We can send the dimensions they ask for.
What do I need for delivery?
A firm, level spot with a straight approach: about 60 to 80 ft for a 20' and about 100 to 120 ft for a 40'. Overhead needs to be clear. A compacted gravel pad or blocks under the corners works well.
Can I see a unit first?
Yes. Call or text to set a time, and we'll send photos and video too.
How do I pay?
Online checkout isn't available yet. Request a quote and we'll confirm the price, payment and delivery date with you directly.
Why are some websites so much cheaper?
Some websites advertise containers with doors for well under the cost of the box alone, with free delivery anywhere. Many of those are scams. Buy from a business with a real address and a phone you can call. Ours is in Erie, Colorado.
