SteelForge sells shipping containers to customers across North Carolina, 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.

North Carolina is a fast-growing market that runs from the Outer Banks to the Blue Ridge, and the coast and mountains pull in opposite directions. The barrier-island coast is exposed to hurricanes and salt air, so anything left there wants anchoring and sound paint. The western mountains bring slope and access limits. The populous Piedmont in between — Charlotte, Raleigh — is the easy middle, firm ground and open sites.

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 Atlanta depot, so what appears in the catalogue is what can be sent to a North Carolina address.

Delivery in North Carolina

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: Most of North Carolina is within 300 to 600 miles of the Atlanta depot, 5 to 8 business days for stock. Modifications add 5 to 7 business days.
Pricing
Pricing: Priced by radial distance from the Atlanta 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: 400 miles

Buying and delivery in North Carolina

Do you deliver shipping containers in North Carolina?

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

Do Outer Banks containers need special preparation?

Anchoring against storm wind and a salt-resistant painted grade, yes. The barrier islands are exposed and low; tie down anything left in place and keep the paint sound.

Is delivery straightforward around Charlotte and Raleigh?

Generally, yes — the Piedmont has firm ground and open sites. As ever, confirm the gate width and overhead clearance, but these are among the easier deliveries in the state.

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. North Carolina is served from our Atlanta depot.

Match the unit to the region: anchoring and a painted grade on the coast, level bearing and a checked approach in the mountains. The Piedmont is usually straightforward.
