A shipping container is a standardized steel box originally designed for transporting cargo by ship, truck, and train. Beyond freight, containers are incredibly versatile — used for on-site storage, container homes, offices, workshops, swimming pools, retail pop-ups, emergency shelters, and more. Their durable corten steel construction makes them weatherproof, secure, and stackable, opening endless possibilities for both residential and commercial applications.

Yes. All our containers are certified wind and watertight (WWT), meaning they keep out rain, snow, wind, and pests. Containers feature heavy-duty marine plywood floors, secure locking door hardware, and rodent-proof seals. For added security, we offer lock boxes and high-security hasps. Whether you’re storing equipment, building a home, or creating a workspace, your container will protect your belongings in any climate.

Permit requirements vary by location, zoning, and intended use. Most areas allow containers for temporary storage without permits, but permanent placements — especially for container homes or offices — typically require permits. We recommend checking with your local zoning and building department. Our team can provide specification sheets, engineering documents, and site plans to support your permit application.

All our used containers are thoroughly inspected, graded, and certified wind and watertight (WWT). They have functioning doors, intact floors, and no structural holes. Used containers may show cosmetic wear like surface rust, dents, or faded paint — but they are fully functional and weatherproof. We provide detailed photos and condition reports for every unit so you know exactly what you’re getting.

We carry every type of shipping container: Standard Dry Van, High Cube, Refrigerated (Reefer), Open Top, Flat Rack, Open Side, Double Door, plus custom-modified Container Homes, Container Offices, and Container Pools. See our Container Types guide above for detailed descriptions of each type and their ideal applications.

Pricing depends on size, condition, type, and location. Used 20ft containers typically start around $1,500-$3,000, while new 40ft high cubes can range from $3,500-$6,000+. Custom modifications, delivery distance, and market conditions all affect final price. For an accurate quote, contact us at +1 (346) 503-5478 or request a quote through our website.

Delivery typically takes 5-10 business days total: 1-3 business days handling time plus 4-7 business days transit time. We serve all 10 PROVENCES with our nationwide logistics network. A delivery specialist will contact you to coordinate timing and confirm site requirements. Remote locations may require additional transit time.

Your site needs a level surface, at least 12 feet of width access, 75 feet of straight approach for the delivery truck, and no overhead obstructions like power lines or tree branches. The ground should be firm enough to support a truck and the container. Our team walks you through specific requirements during scheduling. See our Delivery & Site Preparation guide above for the full checklist.

Yes! We deliver to all 10 Provences through our nationwide logistics network. We coordinate tilt-bed trailers, crane service, and specialized transport to handle even the most challenging delivery locations — from tight residential driveways to remote commercial job sites. Every delivery quote includes site placement, so your container is positioned exactly where you need it.

We offer tilt-bed delivery (container slides off, no crane needed — ideal for residential), flatbed with crane service (for tight spaces or elevated placement), and step-deck trailers (for high cube containers needing extra clearance). The best method depends on your site access and container size. Our logistics team determines the optimal delivery method for your location.
