Buying notes

Grade drives price. Ask for Wind & Watertight if the unit will stay on the ground, and Cargo Worthy only if it needs to ship again.
Delivery is quoted separately by distance and access. Tell us whether your site can take a side-loader or needs a crane.
For quantities above five units, ask about depot-collection pricing — it is usually the cheapest route.
