What do customers store in Eagle Leasing drop-off Storage Containers, Office Containers, Office Trailers and Storage Trailers?

Businesses typically store raw materials, finished goods, merchandise and equipment. Residences will use portable storage containers for additional storage and household projects.

Why is a 10′ container a more specialty unit?

The shipping containers we typically have in inventory are standard 20′ ISO shipping containers. In order to create a 10′ unit, it is necessary to cut our 20′ containers in half. Due to the additional labor required, our 10′ units often cost the same, if not more than our 20′ units.

Will my delivery have any fuel surcharge?

At Eagle Leasing, we do not include a fuel surcharge in our delivery cost.

Can a container withstand a hurricane or tornado?

Storage Containers are made to withstand winds up to 100 miles per hour.

Am I able to keep my Storage Trailer/Storage Container or Office Container/Office Trailer on the street?

Eagle Leasing does not deliver any storage or office equipment on the street.

What is the difference between louvre and turbine vents?

Louvered (side) vents.  If you’re looking to combat excessive moisture inside your 10 foot Storage Container20 foot Storage Container40 foot container or 40′ high cube container, we offer Louvered vents, which will provide even more air flow into the unit. If you decide to go this route, we recommend two to four Louvered vents placed on opposite ends and side of the container to provide a cross breeze and additional circulation. Louvre Vents can help improve air quality within containers by allowing the circulation of fresh air and the removal of stagnant air and odors. Our Louvered Vents are heavy-duty construction and used for flush mounting.

Turbine vents. Finally, we offer turbine (whirlybird) vents, which will be cut into the roof of your 10’/20’/40′ container. Turbine vents use wind energy to create airflow and exhaust stale air, heat and moisture from the container’s interior. The only downside to these turbine vents is that during snow-melt, the turbine vent can freeze shut, but clearing the snow off the roof will help lessen this impact.  Turbine vents are the most effective options for circulating air inside of the container. Our turbine vents are made of all aluminum construction, with 21 air foils with rolled edges to deflect water, permanently lubricated with upper and lower ball bearings to ensure long life and low maintenance. They are heavy-duty and durable, tested to withstand 147 mile-per-hour wind. Turbine vents are only available for leases of more than a year or container sales.

Does Eagle Leasing buy or trade in used equipment?

Occasionally, Eagle Leasing does buy used equipment. Please contact us if you are interested in selling something we may want to own.

How can I install a shelving package or shelving arms?

The best way to install the shelving arm is to lift the shelving arm towards the D-ring in the container and put it on an angle. Once the shelving arm is inserted in the D-ring, straighten the arm out and let it hang. Finally, insert the stabilizer bar. After both shelving arms are installed, you can snap two pieces of 2” X 10” lumber together on each level (for a total of six pieces).

Can you deliver or pick up a container or trailer on muddy ground or when there are several inches of snow present?

To ensure our equipment remains safe and operational, we deliver only on dry and firm ground with no snow present. We recommend checking the weather forecast prior to scheduling delivery. Don’t worry – we will contact you if there are any issues with a scheduled delivery.

Can I have a 10′ x 40′ office trailer delivered at a specific time?

Delivering a 10′ x 40′ Office Trailer requires an oversized permit, which we need to schedule with the relevant state(s). Unforeseen weather conditions like rain, snow, or high winds can lead to postponements by the state(s). We maintain open communication with our customers when arranging delivery to ensure clarity and understanding.

Can we certify a container you own for overseas use?

Yes.  We have a licensed container inspector on staff that can inspect and certify your shipping container for overseas use.

Is it a good idea to store items on the roof of my container?

It is not the roof of the container which is designed to handle weight, it is the corner castings. By storing items on the roof of the container, it may compromise the structural integrity of the container and possibly cause the container to leak. It is best not to store items on top of the container to assure your contents remains dry.

 

Will a car fit in a shipping container?

Yes. Most cars have a width of about 6 to 6 1/2 feet, which allows them to fit inside a standard storage container opening.

Can I order additional items after I’ve signed my lease?

Yes, of course! Either give us a call or send us an email with the any additions you wish to make to your order. Additional delivery charges may apply.

What is the floor of a shipping container made of?

A shipping container’s floor is constructed of marine grade plywood or bamboo. “Marine grade” means that the wood has more ply (19 ply or 21 ply) than traditional construction plywood, making a more stable floor that’s less prone to warping. Additionally, container floors are not smooth and have small variations with counter-sunk screw heads. Our 40-foot shipping containers include a built-in chassis tunnel, meaning there’s an approximately-10-foot-long steel plate on the non-door end of a 40-foot container.

How do I open a Storage Container?

A ground-level storage container will have two doors at one end. You will see that across these doors are four vertical metal rods which extend from the top all the way to the bottom of the unit’s face. To open a storage container, raise the latch above the handle on the right-side door. Next, raise the handle and move it from right to left. This step will unhinge the locking mechanisms on the top and bottom portions of the door. Finally, open the right-side door by pulling the metal rod out towards you. Repeat the same process with the left-side door.

I want to buy a container with a rollup door. How do I know what size rollup door works for me?

Most of our customers who order a storage container with rollup doors want them placed along the side of a container. By measuring how long the product is going into the container, you will be able to best decide which rollup door is best for you. The container doors come in 8-foot, 10-foot and 12-foot sizes. If you have any other questions about containers with rollup doors, please call us at 1-800-GET-EAGLE (438-3245) and we can answer your questions.

rollup-doors-inside-open FAQ

What is the difference between container flooring and plywood?

Container flooring is 19 to 21 plies and plywood is 5 plies. The more plies in flooring, the stronger the wood is, and the better able the wood is able to withstand a heavy load as well as tow motor traffic.

Why do corner casting protrude from the bottom and top of a container?

Shipping containers are stacked on top of corner castings. When placing a container on the ground, it is important to place plywood, railroad ties or other items to prevent the corner casting from sticking into the ground. The more the weight of the container is spread out over a larger surface, the less concentrated the weight will be at any one point. What this means to our customers is that the container’s corner castings will be less likely to sink into the ground.

What are the sizes that Eagle Leasing offers for Storage Containers?

Our most popular sizes are 10 feet, 20 feet and 40 feet in length. Custom sizes are also available upon request.

Do Eagle Leasing Storage Containers have vents?

Yes, all units typically have two to four vents along the sides of the unit.

Other companies offer aluminum units, but your containers are steel. Which is better?

We pride ourselves in providing the best-quality storage container units. Steel units are stronger and safer than aluminum and will hold up better over time.

If we decide to purchase a container, will we get a title?

Shipping containers do not have titles. However, you will receive a bill of sale from us.

If we buy a container, does it come with any warranty?

Yes, all units we sell come with a one-year warranty.

Do you offer any insurance to protect the contents of my unit?

Yes, we do! We offer a variety of options to cover the contents of your personal or business items. You can check out more information on our offerings here.

Can you deliver two 20′ containers on one truck?

Yes, we can. Two 20′ Storage &Office Containers take up the same amount of space as one 40′ container.

How many pallets fit in a 40 foot container?

If you stagger the pallets, you will fit between 9 or 10 pallets depending on the pallet size.

Can a container damage my driveway?

While our drivers carefully deliver the containers, the weight of the corner and its contents can sink into the ground over time. It is best to use some wood and or other pieces of material to prevent the container from sinking into the ground. The larger and more spread out the wood or other leveling material is, the less likely the container is to leave a mark. Even after taking all these precautions, their still is a possibility the container may leave a mark on the driveway. Feel free to give a us a call at 1-800-GET-EAGLE to talk to one of our delivery experts!

What if I have a question that is not answered by an FAQ?

No problem! Feel free to give us a call at 1-800-GET-EAGLE and we can try to answer any question you may have.

What is the difference between Gross Weight, Net Weight, and Tare Weight of a container?

Gross Weight: This is the total weight of the container when it’s fully loaded with its contents. It includes both the weight of the contents and the weight of the container itself.

Net Weight: This is the weight of the contents inside the container, without considering the weight of the container. 

Tare Weight: This is the weight of an empty container without any contents. When you subtract the Tare Weight from the Gross Weight, you get the Net Weight.

In a simple formula: Gross Weight = Net Weight + Tare Weight.

Why are 10′ shipping containers more expensive per square foot of space compared to 20′ containers?

This cost difference arises from the production process. 20′ and 40′ containers are manufactured in large-scale production, benefiting from economies of scale, which can significantly reduce their cost per square foot. In contrast, 10′ containers are essentially cut down from 20′ containers, involving more labor and modification costs, making them comparatively more expensive per square foot.

When I receive a new container or a one-trip container, is it completely brand new from the factory?

While the term “new container” might suggest it’s fresh off the factory floor, the process is a bit more nuanced. Here’s what typically happens:

  1. Manufacturing: Most new containers are produced in China.
  2. Transportation to the US: Transporting an empty container from China to the US can be prohibitively expensive, ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 based on economic conditions.
  3. Cost-Saving Measure: To reduce this transportation cost, ocean carriers often get to use these new containers (referred to as “one-trip containers”) for a specified period without charge. In return, they offer free transportation for these containers to the US.
  4. Condition upon Arrival: Since these containers are used for shipping during their “one trip,” it’s common for them to arrive with minor dents, tire marks, or scratches on the floor.

In essence, while your storage container is technically “new,” it might not be pristine as one might expect with a new car, for example.

 

What type of foundation is required to place a container?

A hard, compact surface is necessary to support a container effectively. Using railroad ties or pre-treated lumber can provide additional support and facilitate airflow under the container’s floor, which is essential for maintaining its condition. In most cases, it is not necessary to pour a concrete slab, making the setup more straightforward and cost-effective.

Do I need a lock for an Eagle Leasing Storage Container or Storage Trailer?

There is a place on the container for you to place your own padlock. For additional protection, we offer 13-pound heavy-duty Eagle Locks®.

How much room do I need to fit a Storage Container or Office Container on my site?

Our Storage Containers come in 40-foot, 20-foot and 10-foot lengths. They are delivered on flatbed vehicles where the container slides off like a dumpster. The side with the doors can face either way on the delivery vehicle. The 20-foot containers and 10-foot containers are delivered on a straight, one-piece flatbed truck that is approximately 28 feet long, so the truck would need a relatively straight shot of around 50 feet in order to drop a 20-foot container and about 40 feet for a 10-foot container. The 40-foot storage container is delivered on a tractor-trailer combo unit that is approximately 70 feet long. This vehicle would need about 100 feet of a straight shot to deliver a 40-foot container. Also, because of the configuration of the delivery vehicle, the site needs a fairly wide driveway in order to enter the property.

Eagle Leasing delivers a storage container to your site on a tilt bed trailer. The driver will back into the area and tilt the bed about 15 feet in the air. Then the storage container will slide off the trailer onto the ground. The driver will need to pull straight out from under the container. Watch the video below to see our fast and easy delivery process, and check out our delivery page for more information.

Is there any site preparation necessary?

We need a surface that is fairly level, smooth and firm. We prefer to deliver on cement, pavement, asphalt or gravel, but we can deliver on dirt or grass as long as it is not soft or wet. If ground conditions at your location are soft, you may want to consider 2×10, 4×4 or 6×6 hardwood timbers to place under the unit to mitigate sinking into soft ground.

What is the advantage of overhead and swing door trailers?

The advantage of an overhead door trailer is that the trailer can be brought directly to dock while the doors are closed. Once the trailer is at the dock, the doors can be opened without moving the trailer. The disadvantage of an overhead door trailer is that since the door rolls up, the trailer will lose some overhead space when the door is closed. The advantage of a swing door trailer is you have more interior clearance, while the disadvantage of a swing door trailer is you are unable to open the trailer while the trailer is at a dock.

While both a spring ride trailer and an air ride trailer offer a cushion between the axle and the body of the trailer, there are some differences.

Spring ride: The front and rear axles of the trailer are connected with leaf springs between the front and rear axle. Most fleets operate using spring ride trailers. Spring ride suspensions are constructed of multiple layers of flexible steel strips in one assembly or pack. They require less maintenance on the undercarriage of the trailer and provide a smooth ride.

Air ride: An air ride trailer has an airbag suspension between the axle and the body of the trailer. Air ride trailers have a softer ride than a spring ride trailer. The disadvantages of an air ride trailer are that the airbags are much more likely to break, and they have a higher overall operational cost.

LogisticPosts-640-150x113 FAQLogistic posts have logistics tracks built into the equidistant posts of a trailer. Since logistic posts are used as part of the construction of a road trailer, cargo is secured by the strength of the trailer. The disadvantage of logistic posts is that the customer is not able to secure the cargo to the exact horizontal location of a road trailer.

E-track equipped trailers are a great option when you need to secure cargo safely within your trailer:

What are the electrical requirements for your Office Trailers?

Mobile Office Trailers Power Requirements

The Office Trailers require 220-volt, single-phase, 100-amp service. Your electrician can easily provide this to the electrical panel in the trailer. While it is best to hook up office equipment directly to electrical lines, a generator can be used if it is hard wired into the panel and has 50 amps of service. Please be sure to follow the standards of the NFPA to ensure your worksite is safe.

Where can I find the hookup to the electrical connection of an Office Trailer?

In most of our Office Trailers this will be the way to find the electrical hookup. Enter the Office Trailer and go into the room closest to the front of the Office Trailer (you can see the ball hitch in front of you). You will find an electrical panel on the left side wall. In the center of the electrical panel is an 1.5 inch conduit located directly below the center of the panel which drops below the floor of the Office Trailer. The point where 1.5 inch conduit comes into the floor is where you would hook up the Office Trailer.

Office Trailers

An Office Trailer is a mobile office unit that sits off the ground on wheels. It is best suited in a situation where the water table is high. OSHA-approved stairs are provided to walk into the mobile office, which helps keep the unit clean. An office trailer can be moved with a 2-5/16-inch ball hitch.

Office-Trailers-FAQ-Diagram FAQ


Office Containers

An Office Container is a mobile office that sits directly on the ground and is built from an ISO steel shipping container, making it very durable and secure. Eagle Leasing’s ground-level office (GLO) is equipped with a pebbled fiberglass interior, steel doors and other premium features. Unlike office trailers, office containers do not require stairs to access the interior, and there is no block and leveling or tiedowns necessary to secure the unit. All our office containers feature an external GFI (ground fault circuit interrupter) for protection against electrical shocks.office-container-faq-diagram FAQ

An office trailer can be moved with a 2-5/16-inch ball hitch with a breakaway box.

How is an office trailer anchored?

Office Trailer stake process:
• Drill asphalt, rock and/or dirt to allow each cross anchor to be put in place.
• Each anchor takes two stakes.
• Hammer each stake into the asphalt.
• The stakes are put in crossing each other on an angle (cross anchors) into the ground.

Cross anchors
Each 8-foot by 20-foot office trailer requires four cross anchors to be put in place for a total of eight stakes.
Each 8-foot by 32-foot office trailer requires six cross anchors to be put in place for a total of 12 stakes.
Each 10-foot by 40-foot office trailer requires eight cross anchors to be put in place for a total of 16 stakes.

Steel strap (the band is attached to the Office Trailer)
• Take the steel strap from the office trailer and attach it to each cross anchor.
• Tighten each strap with the slotted bolt (part of the cross anchor) to get rid of the slack and secure in place.
• Once the slotted bolt is tightened, turn the nut on the cross anchor to tighten and hold the strap in place.
• Repeat for all cross anchors.

How much room do I need to fit a Storage Container or Office Container on my site?

Our Storage Containers come in 40-foot, 20-foot and 10-foot lengths. They are delivered on flatbed vehicles where the container slides off like a dumpster. The side with the doors can face either way on the delivery vehicle. The 20-foot containers and 10-foot containers are delivered on a straight, one-piece flatbed truck that is approximately 28 feet long, so the truck would need a relatively straight shot of around 50 feet in order to drop a 20-foot container and about 40 feet for a 10-foot container. The 40-foot storage container is delivered on a tractor-trailer combo unit that is approximately 70 feet long. This vehicle would need about 100 feet of a straight shot to deliver a 40-foot container. Also, because of the configuration of the delivery vehicle, the site needs a fairly wide driveway in order to enter the property.
