Local Market Insights
Why Shipping Containers Are Available in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City is the most geographically isolated container gateway in the country, and serves as a major inland gateway for containerized freight moving between the West Coast and the interior Mountain West. Union Pacific’s Salt Lake City Intermodal Terminal provides direct service connecting the region with major West Coast ports and operates around the clock, allowing international 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft high cube containers to transfer between double stack trains and trucks for distribution throughout Utah and surrounding states. Historically, this terminal has been the primary container gateway for the state, giving Salt Lake City a steady flow of imported manufactured goods as well as outbound agricultural and industrial products.
Salt Lake City’s intermodal market became substantially more competitive in 2025 when BNSF opened a new 43-acre intermodal facility in partnership with Patriot Rail and the Utah Inland Port Authority. The terminal introduced new BNSF container service between California and Salt Lake City, giving the market two major Class I railroad options and additional capacity for marine containers moving inland from West Coast ports. Combined with the Utah Inland Port Authority’s broader effort to expand rail-based logistics, this makes Salt Lake City an increasingly important inland market for international shipping container movement and used container availability. No matter what’s going on with freight, Western Container Sales always guarantees the best price on used shipping containers in Utah.

How Container Delivery Works
Most containers are delivered by specialized trucks and placed directly on the ground. The delivery graphic shows how the truck approaches, tilts the container into position, and pulls forward—plus the clear space needed for a successful delivery. Actual clearance requirements depend on the truck and container size.
