FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 53ft container?

A 53ft container is a domestic intermodal container used primarily in the United States. At 53 feet long, it offers significantly more interior volume than a standard 40ft shipping container — around 3,960 cubic feet for a dry unit. It is widely used for road and rail transport, large-scale storage, and custom modification projects.

Can I purchase or lease a 53ft container from UNIT53?

Yes. UNIT53 offers both purchase and lease options for businesses looking to add 53ft containers to their fleet. We also offer a range of financial solutions to suit different operational needs. Contact us to discuss what fits best for your situation.

Where can I pick up a container?

UNIT53 has inventory available at depot locations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Memphis. Sourcing locally reduces transport costs significantly, which is one of the main advantages of working with a supplier that has nationwide coverage.

What types of 53ft containers does UNIT53 offer?

UNIT53 supplies four container types: the standard Dry Unit for general cargo and storage, the Diesel Reefer Unit for temperature-controlled transport, the Dual Compartment for shipping two commodities at different temperatures simultaneously, and the Safety Container with reinforced doors and optional tracking for high-security loads.

Are the containers new or used?

All containers supplied by UNIT53 are new. They are built using high-strength lightweight steel, feature a bamboo floor, and are coated with waterborne paint — combining durability with a reduced environmental footprint.
