FAQ

Do you deliver?

Yes, we deliver anywhere in Canada and the USA. Let us know where you’d like your container delivered and we’ll provide you with a quote.

If I purchase a container, will you buy it back later?

We purchase many types of used containers, depending on our requirements at the time and the condition of the unit.

What does a container cost?

Container prices fluctuate daily due to changes in supply and demand, available inventory, and other varying market conditions. For this reason we cannot post prices on our website, but we’ll be happy to provide you with a quote for either renting or purchasing the unit you need.

What does a container weigh?

Empty container weights vary, depending on the size. A standard 20’ unit weighs
(Approximately 5000 LBS) just over 2 tons, and 40’ containers weigh (approximately 8500 LBS) between 3.5 and 4.2 tons. For weights of other sizes, follow this link to our specifications page.

Where can a container be placed? What about site preparation?

Containers can be placed on almost any surface that is relatively level, smooth and firm. Cratex can deliver on pavement, asphalt, gravel, dirt, concrete or grass as long as it isn’t too soft. Containers are self-supporting at the four corners, so if your surface is soft or unstable we suggest spreading the weight over a concrete footing, railroad ties, asphalt or gravel.

How do I pay?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, cheques and cash. For customers who have already established credit, we can accommodate purchase orders.
