Another factor to consider with steel home and commercial building kits, as it turns out, is that you may need to have a crane move the container off the flatbed at your site, versus the usual big forklift(s) doing it.
A container loaded with steel I-beams nearly maxes out the weight limit on shipping containers.
The Port of Hilo can offload a near weight-maxed container and set it atop a flatbed chassis without difficulty, but the big forklifts appear to have difficulty once a 40' container has reached its destination. A 20' container was offloaded OK by the big forklifts, but on the first 40' container the forklifts were tipped forward at an alarming angle when they tried to offload the container, so they backed off and a crane had to be brought in. Because of all the oversize flagging escort and faldarall involved with moving a crane to and from Hilo, this gets into a bit of expense and bother.
