Hint guys, as I am looking as well.
Buy a 40ft, you will use the space.
The 20ft cans command premium prices. A 20ft can costs about double what a 40ft can costs. Makes sense right?
In the case od sea cans, you get what you pay for, especially when dealing with a dealer. A cheap can may seem a good deal but when it leaks all over your stuff and the doors don't close, the value will be realized.
Best advice- heavy equipment auction- do not use a dealer of sea cans
Hire a heavy equipment company with a Landoll trailer who can slide it off right into place.
Failing that, be prepared to hire a 35 ton boom truck to lift off a transport and place where you like ( 4hrs minimum at $150/hr)
The most recent cans I saw went for $1200 to $1800 at auction plus transport.
