Where we deliver
Two simple choices

Pick a size, then pick a condition.

Buying a container comes down to two separate decisions, and it helps to keep them straight. First is size — how much room you need: 20-ft, 40-ft, or a 40-ft high-cube with an extra foot of headroom. That's about the footprint and the volume.

Second is condition — how new you want it to look and how much you want to spend. A used cargo-worthy box is the budget pick with honest surface wear; a one-trip unit is nearly new with crisp factory paint. Every size comes in both grades, so you mix and match to fit the job and the budget. Below, browse by whichever choice you've already made.

Buy or rent?

Own it outright, or rent by the month?

Once you've settled on a size and condition, the last call is whether to buy or rent. Buying makes sense when you'll keep the box for the long haul — it lives on your land and holds its value.

Renting is the move for a short-term need like a renovation or a seasonal crunch — month-to-month from $165, no contract. As a rule of thumb, keep it past 18–20 months and buying wins.

Choosing a container

Which one is right for you?

A 20-ft container holds about 160 square feet — roughly the contents of a two-bedroom home, and it tucks into most driveways. A 40-ft doubles the space to about 320 square feet for vehicles, inventory, or farm equipment, and gives you the best value per square foot. If you're tight on room to maneuver the truck, go 20-ft; if you have the space and the stuff, the 40-ft is usually the smarter buy.
One-trip containers crossed the ocean a single time and are nearly new — crisp factory paint, tight seals, the cleanest possible look. Used cargo-worthy and WWT (wind & water tight) units have years of service behind them with honest surface wear, but they're still structurally solid and dry inside. Both carry the same roughly 30-year outdoor lifespan; the difference is mostly looks and price.
A standard container is 8 feet 6 inches tall; a high-cube adds a foot of interior headroom at 9 feet 6 inches, for the same length and width. You'll want one if you're stacking tall pallets, storing equipment that needs the clearance, or building out an office or workshop where the extra ceiling makes the space feel right. High-cube is available in our 40-ft units.
