How Much Does It Cost To Move a Container?
The cost to move a container varies based on several factors. The size of your container, whether 20ft or 40ft, along with whether it’s loaded or unloaded, influences the rate. The bigger and heavier the container, the more it will cost to ship. Distance also influences the price. A shorter-distance container move will have a lower rate than a container being transported across the country or overseas. An international container move will also have a higher cost than domestic transport.
Other factors determine a container mover rate, such as time of year, tolls, etc. To find the best container moving rate, speaking with a logistics agent is best. Our agents are highly trained and experienced, which means they find the best rate to haul your container. Heavy Equipment Transport is dedicated to providing the best shipping container move at affordable prices.
The cost of shipping a container per mile varies based on factors such as distance, mode of transport, container size, and specific service providers. Here's a breakdown of average costs:
Approximately $5 per mile.
Shipping a container by rail averages $2.50 per mile.
For distances around 2,115 miles, costs can be about $1.53 per mile for a 16-foot container.
A 7-foot container over the same distance may cost approximately $1.32 per mile.
Costs are typically calculated per container rather than per mile.
For example, shipping a 20-foot container from Shanghai to New York City can cost around $7,000, while a 40-foot container may cost about $9,000.
Container Size: Standard sizes include 20-foot and 40-foot containers, with 40-foot containers usually costing 20-25% more than 20-foot ones.
Distance and Route: Longer distances and less common routes can increase costs. For instance, shipping from the UK to the US is generally cheaper than to Canada, despite similar distances, due to higher trade volumes with the US.
Seasonality: Peak seasons, such as summer or around holidays, can lead to higher rates due to increased demand.
However, all of these prices are subject to change based on the economy, your specific container shipping needs, and more. Speaking with a container shipping specialist at Heavy Equipment Transport is the best way to get an accurate shipping quote.
