Shipping containers delivered across Louisiana
New and used 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers, delivered from New Orleans and Baton Rouge to Lafayette, Lake Charles and Shreveport. Your container ships from the yard nearest to you.
Delivery across Louisiana
Louisiana has the New Orleans and Baton Rouge metros, Cajun country around Lafayette, the industrial Lake Charles area, and pine woods and farmland in the north around Shreveport and Monroe. Containers serve industry and contractors, farms, and storm-season storage near the coast.
We deliver across Louisiana: New Orleans and the Northshore, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Houma, Alexandria, Monroe and Shreveport-Bossier City. Low, soft ground is the main thing to check before delivery.
Every order ships from the yard closest to your address. We deliver by tilt-bed, which sets the container straight onto the ground with no equipment needed, or by flatbed if you have a forklift or crane to unload it. Either way you get one delivered price and one point of contact.

How containers get used in Louisiana
- Storm-season storage
- A container on high ground, anchored, gives a steel place for supplies and equipment.
- Industrial and contractor storage
- Crews keep tools and parts secure near plants and job sites.
- Farm storage
- Sugarcane, rice and cattle operations store parts and supplies.
Weather and ground in Louisiana
Heat, humidity, heavy rain and hurricanes. Keep the container on the highest ground that drains, consider anchoring, and use vents and moisture absorbers to fight condensation. Soft, wet soils are common, so a firm approach for the truck matters.
Storms and anchoring
A container is heavy but can still shift in extreme wind or flooding. Ground anchors or tie-downs are common in storm-prone areas, and some local rules require them for certain placements.
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.
Permits and placement rules in Louisiana
Louisiana has a State Uniform Construction Code, based on ICC codes that the state's Uniform Construction Code Commission reviews and amends for the state.
Ask your parish or city permit office before delivery, and ask about anchoring if the spot is exposed to storms.
This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by property, so confirm with the office that covers your address before delivery.

Questions about containers in Louisiana
Can a truck deliver a container on soft Louisiana ground?
Only if the route to the drop spot is firm enough. Wet, soft soil can stop a loaded truck, so gravel or pavement is best. Describe the ground when you ask for a price.
How do I protect a container from flooding in Louisiana?
Place it on the highest available ground, raise it on a gravel pad or blocks, and keep stored things on pallets. Many owners near the coast also anchor containers.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Louisiana?
Louisiana has a statewide uniform construction code, and permits are handled locally. Ask your parish or city permit office, and ask about anchoring in storm-exposed spots.
