SteelForge sells shipping containers to customers across North Dakota, 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.

The defining factor in North Dakota is cold. Winters here are among the hardest in the country: the frost line runs deep and the ground is frozen solid for months. Frozen ground is firm to deliver on, which helps, but a sealed container swings through big temperature ranges, so condensation control and — for anything used as a workspace — insulation both matter. Snow load sits on a flat container roof until it is cleared, and a heavy season's accumulation is a real weight.

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

Delivery in North Dakota

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: North Dakota is served from the Chicago depot; lead times run 5 to 12 business days by distance. Winter weather can extend a window. Modifications add 5 to 7 business days.
Pricing
Pricing: Priced by radial distance from the Chicago 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: 900 miles

Buying and delivery in North Dakota

Do you deliver shipping containers in North Dakota?

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

Can you deliver in North Dakota in winter?

Yes — frozen ground is actually firm and delivers well. The issues are a snow-cleared approach and, over the season, snow load on the roof. Deep-winter weather can push a delivery window, which we flag when we quote.

Do I need to insulate a container used year-round in North Dakota?

For a workspace or anything heated, yes. An uninsulated steel box is bitter in a hard winter, and insulation with a vapor barrier also controls the condensation the temperature swings cause.

Delivery in North Dakota

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. North Dakota is served from our Chicago depot.

Frozen ground delivers well; the things to plan for are a cleared approach, snow cleared off the roof through the winter, and insulation on anything used year-round.
