Shipping Containers for Sale and Rent in Evansville, IN
New and used 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers delivered across the Evansville area. Your container ships from the yard nearest to you, with one delivered price and one point of contact.
Buying a container in the Evansville area
The container arrives on a tilt-bed or flatbed truck, and that choice shapes your whole site plan. A tilt-bed trailer tilts and lets the container slide off onto the ground, so it needs a long, straight, clear approach and clear space overhead. A flatbed keeps the container on the trailer, and you provide a forklift or crane to lift it off. Walk your drop spot with both methods in mind, then send your ZIP code and what you need.
Our containers come in 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube sizes, new (one-trip) or used. When you ask for a price, we match the size and grade you want to the yard closest to your ZIP code, so your container travels the shortest distance, and send you one delivered price. You deal with one person from quote to drop-off.
Tilt-bed or flatbed delivery
Most people choose tilt-bed delivery: the truck tilts its bed and slides the container straight onto your pad, so you need no equipment. If you have a forklift or crane on site, we can send the container on a flatbed instead and you unload it. How delivery works.
Buy or rent: containers in Evansville
Containers are available for sale and for rent. Buying makes sense when you want storage that stays put for the long term. Renting fits a project, a move or a season, and the rental details come with your quote.
Communities around Evansville
If you are in Boonville or Mount Vernon, you can request a delivered price the same way: send your ZIP code with the size and grade you want, and a real person checks the the nearest yard that serve your area.
Keeping a container in good shape in Evansville
FEMA's National Risk Index puts Vanderburgh County in the top tenth of US counties for how often inland flooding events occur per square mile, so keep the container off low spots and drainage paths where water can pool underneath. The same index puts the county in the top tenth for how often strong wind events occur, which is a reason to set the box on level ground away from loose debris and branches. It ranks the county in the top quarter for hail events, so check the roof and paint after big storms. It also ranks in the top quarter for ice storm events, so keep the drop spot clear of overhanging limbs.
Beyond weather, vent the container to manage condensation, and set it on a firm, level pad so the doors keep swinging freely.
Local conditions to plan for
Freeze-thaw and snow
Frozen ground heaves and settles. A compacted, well-drained gravel pad keeps the container level so the doors keep closing properly. Avoid scheduling delivery on soft spring-thaw ground.
Humidity and condensation
Warm, humid air condenses on cool steel. Roof or wall vents, a few moisture absorbers and keeping stored things off the floor on pallets protect what is inside.
Placement rules
Rules for containers on private property are set by your city or county, and sometimes your HOA or deed restrictions. Some places treat a container like a shed; others have rules on size, placement, screening or how long it can stay. Check with your local planning or zoning office before delivery. See container rules in Indiana for what we found on official state sites.

Get your priceQuestions people ask
Can I buy or rent a shipping container in Evansville?
Yes. Containers are available to buy or to rent in 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube, plus 10ft where availability allows. Send your ZIP code and what you need, and a real person checks the nearest yard that serve your area and sends you one delivered price.
How should I prepare the ground before delivery in Evansville?
Pick a firm, level spot that drains well, and keep the container out of low spots and drainage paths where water pools. Clear the approach of low wires, branches and loose debris. The site prep guide walks through the rest.
Is a high cube container worth it?
A 40ft high cube gives you an extra foot of outside height over a standard 40ft, which helps with tall items, shelving and a walk-in workshop set-up. If you do not need the height, a standard 40ft or a 20ft does the job.
What container grade should I choose?
New one-trip if you want the closest-to-new look. Cargo-worthy if you want used structure that was judged fit to carry cargo. Wind and watertight if appearance matters less and you mainly need a dry box. All three keep things dry; they differ in looks, structure and price.
