Assembly
MI-BOX Mobile Storage containers from the US are shipped on flatbed trucks in flat pack units so you will need a forklift to unload them. The containers will be in a flat-pack form in stacks of 7 for most loads. To assemble containers, we provide a complete set of assembly instructions. You will then go over the instructions via phone or in person with a MI-BOX member who actually put many of these containers together. If you have additional questions while assembling containers, you may call a MI-BOX member 7 days a week for immediate answers. It should take a few guys about 1 hour to complete the assembly once you get the hang of it. We also offer two other manufacturers from outside the US which will ship in ISO containers. Depending on which containers you choose, shipping and assembly may vary by manufacturer.
