some corrections needed.
A 20 foot can is $3200 in Ottawa .... a 40 is $4500 so they are not cheaper.
Similar price for TO based advertising in Auto trader,
40 footer requires a crane for $$$$ a 20 footer I can move around with my old farm tractor and a home made axle at my leisure.
20 foot can will fit and can be delivered with a tilt and load tow truck...Gervais towing makes living doing just that... 40 footers require the special trailer for can and a tractor truck to move it.... they would not be able to manoeuvre my barn driveway and would need to dump by the road with a crane waiting to move it.
All in all a 20 footer is much more practical
One more thing Rob found out..... 20 footer high cubes demand a top price due to demand/short supply...... 40 footer high cubes a more readily available.
I agree that dealers are the worst place to buy them from.... construction sites when major contract are over....contractors have already charged for the container cost in the contract..... they are trying to cut there losses short by selling them cheap.....rather than pay to have them moved into storage somewhere not knowing when they will used them again and move them again..... problem is finding out where these deals are..... and you have to be prepared to move them fast at your cost......
