Container Devanning & Transloading in Houston
Fast 20′ and 40′ container unloading, palletizing and transload to 53′ trailers — 24/7.
Unload Containers Fast and Avoid Demurrage
Every day a container sits costs you demurrage and per diem. MV Houston Crossdock devans 20′, 40′ and 40′ high-cube import containers quickly — breaking down floor-loaded cargo, sorting it, palletizing and wrapping it, then transloading it onto 53′ dry vans or reefers or staging it in storage. Then we get the empty container back on schedule.

Container Devanning FAQ
What is devanning?
Devanning is unloading cargo from a shipping container. It is often followed by palletizing and transloading the freight onto domestic trailers.
What is transloading?
Transloading is moving freight from one mode of equipment to another — for example from an ocean container to a 53′ trailer — for the next leg of the trip.
Do you handle floor-loaded containers?
Yes. Floor-loaded cargo is our specialty. Our lumper crews break it down and palletize it.
Can you pick up the container from the port?
Yes. See our drayage service for container moves between the Port of Houston and our facility.
How much does devanning cost?
It depends on container size, piece count and handling. Call (786) 510-6623 or request a quote.
