Container options for Des Moines
These prices are for the container only. Delivery and applicable sales tax are added after we confirm the address and current source.
Used 20 ft
A practical choice when secure storage and a smaller delivery footprint matter more than cosmetic appearance.
One-Trip 20 ft
The cleanest common 20 ft option, usually selected when appearance, long-term use, or future modification matters.
20 ft High Cube
A 20 ft footprint with one extra foot of interior height. Availability is more limited than standard-height units.
Used 40 ft
A strong value per square foot for customers with enough delivery room and substantial storage needs.
One-Trip 40 ft
A cleaner full-length container for long-term storage, business use, or projects where appearance is important.
Used 40 ft High Cube
The most common maximum-capacity option, with an extra foot of height for shelving, equipment, and bulky items.
Double-Door Units
Cargo doors at both ends make it easier to separate inventory and reach items without unloading the entire container.
Side-Door Units
Additional side access can make a container work more like a walk-in storage building. Configurations and availability change.
Straight answers
Before requesting a Des Moines delivery quote
How do I know which container is right for my property?+
The best choice depends on how much space you need, what you plan to store, the condition you prefer, and whether a 20 ft or 40 ft delivery can safely reach the placement area. Tell us what you are considering and we will help you compare the practical options.
What information should I send?+
Send the full delivery address, preferred size and condition, intended use, door direction, and photos showing the entrance, every turn, overhead clearance, and placement area.
How much room does delivery require?+
A typical 20 ft delivery needs at least 60 ft of straight clearance, and a 40 ft delivery needs at least 120 ft. The truck also needs a 12 ft clear travel path, a 14 ft entrance and travel height, and up to 18 ft of unloading height.
Is the container price the total delivered price?+
No. Container prices shown on the site do not include delivery or applicable sales tax. Your written quote identifies the selected container, freight, and tax.
