Introduction to ConFoot Legs

ConFoot legs for container handling represent a revolutionary solution for efficient and safe handling of shipping containers. These patented legs allow for easy folding and repositioning of containers without the need for heavy machinery, significantly simplifying logistics operations. With ConFoot legs, you can place the container exactly where you need it, quickly and conveniently.

How ConFoot Legs Work

ConFoot legs are mounted directly on the container and allow it to be lifted to the desired height. The process is simple and quick:

  1. Prepare the Trailer: A truck with an air suspension arrives at the site.
  2. Mount the Legs: The trailer is raised to the maximum using air, then the ConFoot legs are easily mounted.
  3. Release the Bolts: Release the securing bolts holding the container on the trailer.
  4. Lower the Trailer: The trailer is lowered, and the container remains standing on the ConFoot legs.
  5. Truck Departure: The truck can leave, and the container stays safely in place.

Using ConFoot legs offers a range of benefits:

  • Efficiency: Enables quick and easy container folding without the need for a crane or other heavy equipment.
  • Safety: Stable and robust construction ensures safe placement of the container.

Shipping container types

26. 10. 2026

Roughly 80% of everything you own traveled to you inside a steel box. Shipping containers—also called cargo containers, ISO containers, or “conex” boxes—are the backbone of global trade, carrying about 90% of the world’s non-bulk cargo across oceans, rails, and highways. Yet a “shipping container” is not one single object. It is a family of specialized steel boxes, each engineered for a specific kind of cargo: some vent, some freeze, some open from the top, and some have no walls at all.

Where Can I Buy a 40ft High Cube Container?

25. 10. 2026

A 40ft high cube container represents one of the most versatile and cost-effective storage and shipping solutions available today. Whether you are expanding warehouse capacity, starting a container home project, or need secure on-site storage for a construction site, knowing where to buy one — and what to expect — can save you thousands of dollars and weeks of frustration. This guide walks you through every aspect of purchasing a 40ft high cube container, from understanding what it actually is to comparing sellers, navigating delivery logistics, and handling permits.

How much does a 40 foot shipping container cost?

24. 10. 2026

A 40 foot shipping container is the single most common large-format steel container in the world. Whether you are adding on-site storage, moving freight overseas, or converting a unit into a home or workshop, the first question almost everyone asks is the same: how much does a 40 foot shipping container cost?

The short answer is that a 40 foot shipping container price in the United States typically lands between $1,500 and $7,000 depending on condition, height, location, and delivery. Used, wind-and-watertight 40ft units often start near $1,500–$2,700, while a brand-new one-trip 40ft high cube can exceed $4,000–$6,500. The gap between those two ends of the range is wide because a “shipping container” is not one product—it is a graded commodity whose value shifts with its physical condition, its market, and even the distance from your site to a major port.

How to move a shipping container

23. 10. 2026

Moving a shipping container is rarely as simple as “put it on a truck and drive.” A standard steel container weighs over two tons even when empty, spans 20 to 40 feet (or more), and has no wheels, no hitch, and no built-in way to attach to standard equipment. Whether you are repositioning a storage container across a jobsite, delivering one to a rural property, or relocating a loaded unit across the country, the method you choose determines your cost, your timeline, and whether the move succeeds at all.
