Container Shipping & Delivery

We Ship the Containers Themselves — Straight to Your Door

Buying a shipping container for storage, a workshop, a site office, or a container home? We move the container itself. From the port or depot to your driveway, yard, or build site, Atlantic Express Logistics handles the drayage, the haulage, and the precise tilt-bed or crane placement — for a single 20ft unit or a full fleet.

What We Move

New or Used, One Unit or a Hundred — We Deliver the Box

Most freight companies ship cargo inside a container. We also ship the container as the cargo. If you've purchased a unit from a depot, an auction, or a manufacturer, we get it to where you need it — safely positioned and ready to use.

Storage & Sites

Storage Containers

On-site secure storage for homes, farms, retail, and construction. We deliver weatherproof 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft units and place them exactly where you want them — level, square, and ready to lock.

  • New & Used (One-Trip)
  • Tilt-Bed Ground Placement
  • Same-Site Repositioning

Placement Done Right

Set Down Level, Square, and Exactly Where You Want It

A container is only as useful as its placement. Our drivers and lift crews position your unit precisely — doors facing the right way, sitting level on your pad, and clear of access routes.

  • Tilt-bed (roll-off) delivery for tight residential access
  • Crane and HIAB placement onto foundations, piers, or rooftops
  • Door orientation and final positioning to your spec
  • Access, ground-condition, and clearance assessment before delivery
  • Permits and escorts arranged for oversized and high-cube loads
  • Same-site repositioning and end-of-hire collection
Sizes & Special Handling

Every Box, Every Configuration

From a compact 10ft store to a 40ft high-cube build, with the modifications and special handling that go with them.

10ft & 20ft Units

Compact, easy-to-place units for gardens, allotments, retail yards, and tight urban sites with limited access.

40ft & High-Cube

Maximum capacity and headroom for workshops, container homes, and large-volume storage — moved on extendable and step-frame trailers.

Modified & Fitted Units

Careful transport for containers with windows, doors, electrics, insulation, and cladding already installed — protected against transit flex.

Refrigerated (Reefer) Units

Delivery of insulated and refrigerated containers for cold storage, with power-down handling and careful set-down.
