Shipping containers delivered across Michigan
New and used 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers, delivered from Detroit and Grand Rapids to Lansing, Traverse City and the Upper Peninsula. Your container ships from the yard nearest to you.
Delivery across Michigan
Michigan has the Detroit metro and the industrial southeast, Grand Rapids and the west Michigan lakeshore, farm country through the middle, and forests and small towns up north and across the Upper Peninsula. Containers serve manufacturing, contractors, farms and seasonal properties.
We deliver across Michigan: metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Saginaw, Traverse City and northern Michigan, and the Upper Peninsula where roads allow. Snow and spring thaw are the main things to plan around.
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.

Weather and ground in Michigan
Lake-effect snow, frozen ground and a soft spring thaw. A drained gravel pad keeps the container level as frost moves the ground, delivery is easiest when the approach is firm, and vents help with condensation in humid summers.
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.
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 Michigan
Michigan's Bureau of Construction Codes publishes the state codes, including the Michigan Building Code and the Michigan Residential Code. Where code authority is enforced at the local or county level, the state asks residents to contact that local enforcing agency first.
Ask your city, township or county building department about a container before delivery.
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 Michigan
Do you deliver containers to northern Michigan and the U.P.?
Yes, where the road and approach can take a loaded truck. Winter snow and spring thaw can limit access to rural properties, so plan delivery around them.
How do I stop frost from moving my container in Michigan?
Put it on a compacted gravel pad that drains, not on bare soil. Water that collects under a container freezes and heaves it out of level.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Michigan?
Michigan has statewide codes, and where a local or county agency enforces them, that agency is the first place to ask. Check with your city, township or county building department.
