SteelForge sells shipping containers to customers across New Mexico, from 10ft site stores through to 45ft high cubes and 53ft domestic units. Containers are delivered to your site rather than collected, and the price of that delivery depends on the address and the access rather than on the mileage alone.

New Mexico is high desert, and two things follow from that. Heat: a sealed steel container runs far hotter inside than out in direct summer sun, so insulation and ventilation are worth costing from the start for anything stored or worked in. Ground: much of the state is firm enough to take a container on pads without preparation, but loose sand and recently disturbed soil behave differently under a delivery truck than they look from a photograph.

What we deliver here

The full range: standard and high cube containers from 10ft to 53ft, new, one-trip and graded used stock, refrigerated units, and containers modified into offices, workshops and secure stores. Stock is held centrally and delivered from our Houston depot, so what appears in the catalogue is what can be sent to a New Mexico address.

Delivery in New Mexico

Delivery method
Delivery method: Standard tilt-bed or roll-off delivery, where the container slides off and you provide any offloading equipment; flatbed, where you unload with a crane or forklift and which is required for multi-container orders; and lift-assisted delivery by crane or side-loader for tight-access sites, at additional cost.
Vehicle
Vehicle: A single-axle tilt-bed or flatbed for 20ft units, roughly 35 feet overall. A tandem-axle for 40ft standard and high-cube units, roughly 55 feet overall. A tri-axle or extendable trailer for 45ft to 53ft units, 65 feet and over.
Typical timing
Typical timing: New Mexico is served from the Houston depot; lead times run 5 to 12 business days depending on how far the site is from it. Modifications add 5 to 7 business days.
Pricing
Pricing: Priced by radial distance from the Houston depot. The first 100 miles are the base rate; 101 to 300 miles adds $2.50 per mile over 100; 301 to 600 adds $2.00 per mile over 300; 601 to 1,200 adds $1.75 per mile over 600.
Minimum clearance
Minimum clearance: 15 feet of overhead clearance along the whole approach, and 80 feet of straight-line run for a 40ft container or 60 feet for a 20ft. The truck also needs a 50-foot turning radius.
Road width
Road width: 14 feet, with 12 feet the absolute minimum. The access road needs to carry 8,000 to 10,000 lbs per axle, on a firm surface — concrete, asphalt, gravel or dry level dirt, on nothing steeper than a 5% grade.
Gate width
Gate width: 14 feet at the narrowest point of the opening.
Delivery radius
Delivery radius: 800 miles

Buying and delivery in New Mexico

Do you deliver shipping containers in New Mexico?

Yes, statewide, served from our Houston depot. Delivery is to your site; give us the ZIP code and the access and we will confirm the cost and the lead time.

How hot does a container get in the New Mexico summer?

Hotter inside than out in direct sun. An uninsulated unit is fine for tools and steel; it is not the place for anything heat-sensitive, or to work in through summer without cooling. Insulation and ventilation change that.

What ground preparation does New Mexico need?

Firm, level bearing at the four corner castings. Compacted desert ground takes a load well; loose sand does not, and the delivery truck has to cross it too, which is usually the deciding factor.

Delivery in New Mexico

Delivery is quoted against the address and the site access, not by distance alone. Give us the ZIP code, the container, and a description of the approach — gate width, surface, anything overhead — and we will confirm the method, the cost and the timing. New Mexico is served from our Houston depot.

Firm, level bearing at the four corners, and an approach the truck can cross — loose desert sand is the usual binding constraint, not the placement spot itself.
