Sale nationwide · rental in your service areas

Shipping containers, quoted with delivery

10, 20, 40, and 45 ft steel boxes for storage, freight, offices, and cold rooms. New one-trip units and inspected used containers. Tell us the city and we price the box and the haul together.

Built for yards, job sites, and shops

A straight catalog, a written quote, and a delivery plan before anyone rolls a truck.

Buy or rent

Own the box, or keep it only for the job

Buying is the better number when the container will sit for years. Renting is the better number when a project has an end date and you do not want the steel afterward.

Sales can be scheduled across the country. Rentals run in the service areas you publish on the Rentals page. Either way, the quote names the grade: one-trip, cargo-worthy, wind-and-watertight, or as-is.

Modifications

The same steel, finished for the work

A raw container locks and weathers. A modified one becomes a gate shack, a half office, a concession window, or a cold room.

We build from a sketch you approve: door locations, circuits, windows, and paint. The container does not leave the shop until that list is done.

How an order moves

Four steps. No showroom script.

  1. 1. City and size

    Tell us the length, the grade, and where the box has to sit.

  2. 2. Written quote

    You see the unit, the delivery, and any shop work as separate lines.

  3. 3. Build, if you need one

    Doors, power, insulation, and interiors are finished before the truck is booked.

  4. 4. Set on site

    We confirm access, then schedule the delivery window.

Sizes at a glance

These are typical ISO figures for dry boxes. Reefers, open-side units, and office builds lose a little interior once insulation or door hardware is added. The quote names the unit we will actually send.

Before you order

Short answers. The full list lives on the FAQ page, and every answer can be edited in the CMS.

How much does a shipping container cost?+

Size, condition, delivery distance, and shop work all move the price. A used 20 ft dry box is the usual starting point. A reefer or a finished office costs more. Ask for a quote and we price the unit and the haul together.

What are the standard dimensions?+

Dry boxes are 8 ft wide. Common lengths are 10, 20, and 40 ft, with 45 ft high cubes on request. Standard exterior height is 8 ft 6 in. High cube is 9 ft 6 in.

Can I rent instead of buy?+

Yes, inside the rental areas listed on the Rentals page. Outside those areas we quote a sale and delivery. If the job is short, ask for both numbers.

Do you modify containers?+

Yes. Personnel doors, roll-up doors, windows, insulation, electrical, HVAC, partitions, shelving, paint, and lock boxes are built to a list you approve.

Tell us the city. We will price the box.

Include the length, whether you want new or used, and anything the driver should know about the set.
