Shipping Container Delivery in Long Beach
We deliver shipping containers throughout Long Beach and Southern California on tilt-bed trucks that set the box right where you want it. Short haul from the Port of Long Beach means fast, low-cost delivery.
How Delivery Works
Most containers are delivered on a tilt-bed (roll-off) truck. The bed tilts up, the container slides off, and the truck pulls forward to set it gently on the ground — no crane needed in most cases. For placements against a wall or in tight spots, we plan the approach in advance.
Before the Truck Arrives
- Clear a level, firm spot (gravel, asphalt, concrete, or hard-packed dirt)
- Allow straight-line clearance: ≈60 ft for a 20ft, ≈100 ft for a 40ft
- Allow about 14 ft of overhead for the tilting bed
- Note any low branches, wires, gates, or soft ground

Delivery Cost
Delivery is bundled into your all-in quote and depends mostly on distance from the port. Long Beach and the immediate cities are the lowest; Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego cost more the farther out you are. Give us your ZIP for an exact delivered price.
