Tilt-bed or flatbed delivery
Most people choose tilt-bed delivery: the truck tilts its bed and slides the container straight onto your pad, so you need no equipment. If you have a forklift or crane on site, we can send the container on a flatbed instead and you unload it. How delivery works.

What Florissant weather means for a steel container
FEMA's National Risk Index puts St. Louis County in the top tenth of US counties for how often ice storm events occur. Ice storms can bring down limbs, so keep the drop spot clear of overhanging branches. The same index puts St. Louis County in the top tenth for how often heat wave events occur. Steel gets very hot in the sun; light paint, vents and shade help keep contents safe.
It puts St. Louis County in the top quarter for how often inland flooding events occur per square mile. Keep the container off low spots and drainage paths so water does not pool under it. It also puts St. Louis County in the top quarter for how often strong wind events occur per square mile. Strong winds are a reason to place the container on level ground away from loose debris and branches. In general, add vents for condensation and set the box on a firm, level pad.

Local conditions to plan for
Humidity and condensation
Warm, humid air condenses on cool steel. Roof or wall vents, a few moisture absorbers and keeping stored things off the floor on pallets protect what is inside.
Freeze-thaw and snow
Frozen ground heaves and settles. A compacted, well-drained gravel pad keeps the container level so the doors keep closing properly. Avoid scheduling delivery on soft spring-thaw ground.
Placement rules
Rules for containers on private property are set by your city or county, and sometimes your HOA or deed restrictions. Some places treat a container like a shed; others have rules on size, placement, screening or how long it can stay. Check with your local planning or zoning office before delivery. See container rules in Missouri for what we found on official state sites.

Can I buy or rent a shipping container in Florissant?
Yes. Containers are for sale and for rent in Florissant. Send your ZIP code and what you need, and a real person checks the size and grade that can be delivered to that ZIP, books tilt-bed or flatbed delivery and sends one delivered price. You deal with one person from quote to drop-off.
How is a shipping container delivered in Florissant?
In Florissant, delivery is tilt-bed or flatbed delivery. A tilt-bed slides the container onto the ground and needs a long, straight, clear approach with no low wires or branches. A flatbed keeps the container on the trailer; the customer provides a forklift or crane to lift it off. 20ft containers usually have forklift pockets, and most 40ft containers need a crane. Both need firm, level ground.
What container grade should I choose?
Choose by use and by how the container will look and hold up.
How long does delivery take in Florissant?
Delivery timing depends on the size and grade you choose and on scheduling tilt-bed or flatbed delivery. Your quote confirms the delivery plan for the address and the container.
Is a high cube container worth it?
A 40ft high cube has outside height of 9'6" compared with 8'6" on a standard 40ft. That extra height helps with tall items, shelving and a workshop setup. If your load fits a standard height and you do not need the extra room, a standard 40ft is the simpler pick.
