Shipping containers delivered across Pennsylvania
New and used 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers, delivered from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to Harrisburg, Allentown, Erie and farm country. Your container ships from the yard nearest to you.
Delivery across Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has Philadelphia in the southeast, Pittsburgh in the west, the Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg and Lancaster farm country, and wooded hills and small towns across the middle and north. Containers serve contractors, farms, businesses and rural landowners.
We deliver across Pennsylvania: Philadelphia and its suburbs, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Reading, Lancaster, Harrisburg, York, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, State College, Erie and rural Pennsylvania. Hills and steep driveways are common, so check the approach.
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 Pennsylvania
Freeze-thaw winters with snow, humid summers and hilly ground. A drained gravel pad keeps the container level, vents cut condensation, and steep or soft approaches can limit where the truck can go.
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 Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's statewide building code is the Uniform Construction Code, which adopts ICC codes by reference. Each municipality either enforces it itself or opts out, in which case the Department of Labor and Industry handles non-residential buildings and certified third-party agencies hired by the owner handle residential code enforcement.
Ask your township, borough or city office whether it enforces the code locally, and about zoning for a container at your address.
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 Pennsylvania
Can you deliver a container on a hilly Pennsylvania lot?
Often, yes. The truck needs a reasonably level approach and a level spot to set the container down, so describe the grade when you ask for a price.
How do I level a container on a sloped site in Pennsylvania?
Build a level gravel pad or set solid blocks at the corners. A container out of level twists its frame and the doors stop closing well.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code applies statewide, enforced by your municipality or, where it opts out, by the state or third-party agencies. Ask your township, borough or city office.
