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 Lafayette
Containers here are for sale and for rent. Buying suits long-term or permanent storage, where the box stays on your property and you plan to keep it. Renting suits a project, a move or a season, and rental details come with the quote.
Keeping a container in good shape in Lafayette
Year round, vents manage condensation inside the box, and a firm, level pad keeps the frame and doors working as they should.
Whether you are clearing a garage, remodeling a house, storing tools or running a jobsite, the first step is the same: send your ZIP code with what you need and ask for a delivered price.
Local conditions to plan for
Storms and anchoring
A container is heavy but can still shift in extreme wind or flooding. Ground anchors or tie-downs are common in storm-prone areas, and some local rules require them for certain placements.
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 Louisiana for what we found on official state sites.

Can I buy or rent a shipping container in Lafayette?
Yes. Containers are for sale and for rent in the Lafayette area, in 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube sizes, and in new one-trip, cargo-worthy and wind and watertight grades. Send your ZIP code with the size and grade you want, and you get one delivered price from a real person.
How long does delivery take in Lafayette?
Timing depends on the size, the grade and the delivery address, so it is part of the quote conversation. Send your ZIP code and what you need, and the person handling your quote can go through scheduling with you.
What do I need for flatbed delivery?
A forklift or crane that you set up, firm and level ground, and clear access for the trailer. 20ft containers usually have forklift pockets, while most 40ft containers need a crane. If your site is tight, say so when you ask for a price so the delivery can be planned around it.
Can I use a container on a jobsite in Lafayette?
Yes. Builders use containers to lock up tools, materials and equipment on site. Check site rules and any permit or placement requirement with the city, county or HOA before the container arrives. The jobsite page covers the practical setup.
