Shipping Containers for Sale and Rent in Grand Junction, CO

Buying a container in the Grand Junction area

Choosing between buying and renting a shipping container in Grand Junction comes down to how long you need the space. Buying makes sense when the container will stay put for a long stretch, such as permanent storage beside a house or a workshop that will not move. Renting makes sense for a project, a move or a season, when the need has a clear end. Container Koala sells and rents 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers, and delivery is by tilt-bed or flatbed truck. Send your ZIP code and a short description of what you need to store or build. A real person checks the options that serve that ZIP for the size and grade, sets up delivery and sends one delivered price. You deal with one person from quote to drop-off.

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.

Common container uses around Grand Junction

Grand Junction's mostly suburban pattern, at about 1,700 residents per square mile of land, and its growth among larger Colorado cities by recent Census estimates mean many homes have room beside a driveway for a container. Home storage during a move or renovation is a common use, with the box holding furniture and materials while rooms are cleared or rebuilt; see storage uses. Garage overflow and seasonal storage put the same space to work over a longer term, keeping tools, gear and seasonal items out of the garage. Builders use containers for jobsite storage to lock up tools and materials on site; see jobsite uses.

What Grand Junction weather means for a steel container

FEMA's National Risk Index puts Mesa County in the top tenth of US counties for how often winter weather events occur. The practical step is access: snow and ice can limit truck access to soft or unpaved approaches in winter, so plan a firm, clear route and a level pad before delivery. General care for any steel container includes vents to manage condensation and a firm, level pad so the doors line up and the box stays stable.

Local conditions to plan for

Altitude, sun and swings

Strong sun and big day-to-night temperature swings drive condensation. Vents help, and good paint protects against UV and hail wear.

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.

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 Colorado for what we found on official state sites.
