Approximately 98 percent of our shipping containers are crafted in China, a manufacturing powerhouse and a key player in global exports. The emphasis on quality production in China is crucial given the widespread use of these containers in international shipping.
We provide a wide variety of shipping containers, from new one-trip containers to more economical used models, all available for sale.
We offer a range of sizes to meet different project needs, from 10-foot to 53-foot containers. The most common sizes we work with are 20-foot and 40-foot containers. These come in both standard (8.5-feet high) and high cube (9.5-feet high) options, giving you an extra foot of vertical space for taller equipment or more comfortable work environments.
In addition to standard containers, we can provide specialized units with features such as double doors, open sides, or specialized door types, including roll-up and man doors. Each container is built from durable, 14-gauge steel, making it secure and weather-resistant. We also inspect every container at our depot to ensure it’s wind- and watertight before we deliver it to your jobsite.
We ensure you receive a quality container through our rigorous, hands-on inspection process.
We classify our containers into two main categories:
Before any container leaves our depot, our team conducts a detailed inspection. We check that the doors operate smoothly, the flooring is solid, and there are no holes or leaks. We also perform a light test—closing the doors and looking for any pinholes of light—to ensure it’s fully sealed and ready to protect your materials. This process guarantees your container will be secure and durable upon delivery.
Our shipping container doors are exceptionally secure and designed to withstand the harsh conditions of international shipping and deter theft. They’re constructed from heavy-duty, corrugated steel and feature a locking system with multiple vertical locking rods on each door.
However, for a higher level of security, we recommend adding a lockbox, a welded steel enclosure that fits over the padlock, which makes it impossible to access the lock with bolt cutters. We also offer modifications, such as security packages, that include a steel bar for a padlock, further protecting your assets.
Shipping containers are large steel boxes used to transport goods globally. They come in various sizes, with the most common being 20-feet and 40-feet long. Shipping containers are designed for cargo support, but they can be repurposed into cabins, tiny homes, offices, and storage containers.
No, shipping containers are not completely rustproof. However, they are engineered to resist corrosion far better than standard steel structures.
Most shipping containers are built from CORTEN steel (also called weathering steel), which develops a protective outer layer when exposed to the elements. This oxidation layer helps slow deeper corrosion and protects the structural integrity of the container over time.
Because containers are designed for harsh marine environments, including salt air, moisture, and constant exposure to the weather, they are exceptionally durable and long-lasting when properly maintained.
With routine maintenance, proper drainage, and quality coatings or paint systems, shipping containers can last for decades with minimal corrosion concerns.
Our containers are used in a variety of commercial settings due to their security, durability, and high degree of customization. They’re an efficient solution for:
Our containers are a highly flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional structures, offering a reliable way to manage a project, protect assets, and support your team.
When it comes to your on-site needs, shipping containers offer significant advantages over traditional construction or modular structures.
Unlike brick-and-mortar buildings, containers are a cost-effective solution with a much faster lead time. You can get a fully functional office or secure storage unit delivered to your site in weeks, not months. Because they’re built for transport, you can easily relocate them to a new jobsite as your project evolves, making them a long-term, portable asset.
A container is a versatile investment. A single unit can serve as a secure storage space today, be modified into a mobile office next year, and then be repurposed for a completely different use on your next project. This flexibility and ability to adapt make containers a durable, long-term asset that provides lasting value.
When you look at the total cost of ownership, a purchased shipping container office is a far better long-term investment than a traditional mobile office trailer.
While the initial purchase price of a container office might be similar to that of a trailer, the long-term savings are significant. Containers are built with all-steel components, making them more durable and resistant to the wear and tear of frequent relocation. This durability translates to lower maintenance and repair costs over the life of the unit. Unlike a wood-framed trailer that can become rickety and degrade over time, a steel container maintains its structural integrity for decades.
Container offices sit directly on the ground, which eliminates the need for expensive and cumbersome stairs or ramps, a requirement for most traditional office trailers to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. This ground-level access not only reduces your setup costs but also makes for a safer and more convenient work environment for your crew and any visitors to the site.
Shipping containers are one of the most versatile and durable building materials available today and have a range of uses. Their secure, steel structure and modular design allow for extensive customization, making them a cost-effective solution for a wide variety of needs.
For commercial and industrial use, containers are often used for:
Our containers are built with security at the forefront. Our steel containers are made with thick, corrugated steel panels that are welded to a reinforced steel frame, providing a secure barrier for your valuable tools and materials. The cargo doors feature a cam-and-lock system with multiple vertical locking rods. This heavy-duty design makes it incredibly difficult to break into our containers with standard tools.
For enhanced security, we offer a range of additional features:
Yes, our containers are both weatherproof and exceptionally durable.
They’re engineered to the rigorous standards of international shipping, designed to protect valuable cargo across thousands of miles of turbulent seas and extreme climates. Our containers are built with heavy-duty Corten steel, a specialized alloy that forms a protective layer of rust when exposed to the elements. This unique feature prevents further corrosion, making the container’s exterior highly resistant to deterioration over time.
For additional protection, containers are painted with a rust-resistant coating and feature wind- and watertight door seals, ensuring that your valuable equipment and materials are completely protected from rain, snow, dust, and wind.
Yes, we have a variety of ready-to-ship containers for commercial purposes, including mobile offices, general storage, and specialty storage. For more information, visit the ready-to-ship page on our website.
Yes, we do. To help you get started quickly, we offer a variety of predesigned floor plans that are ready to be ordered. These plans cover a wide range of common commercial and industrial applications, including:
Our predesigned plans provide a proven, efficient solution that can significantly reduce the lead time on your project. However, if you have a unique vision, our team can also work with you to modify an existing plan or create a fully custom design from scratch.
The walls, roof, and floor of a shipping container aren’t strong enough to withstand the pressure of being buried. The container is only meant to bear weight on the four corners. If you’re planning on burying a shipping container, you will need to reinforce the structure inside and out.
No, our containers are modified with modern, safely insulated wiring. Proper grounding is crucial, and any electrical shorts would trip a breaker quickly, ensuring safety. Trust our experienced team to design and install the electrical system correctly.
