Shipping Containers for Sale and Rent in Lakewood, CO
New and used 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers delivered across the Lakewood area. Your container ships from the yard nearest to you, with one delivered price and one point of contact.
Buying a container in the Lakewood area
Your container arrives on a tilt-bed or a flatbed truck, and the choice between them shapes what your site needs to look like on delivery day. A tilt-bed trailer angles back and the container slides off onto the ground, so the driver needs a long, straight, clear run with nothing low overhead. A flatbed keeps the container up on the trailer, and it comes off with a forklift or crane you provide. Start by sending your ZIP code and what you need the box for. A real person checks stock at the yard nearest that ZIP for the size and grade you want, sets up tilt-bed or flatbed delivery, and sends you one delivered price. You work 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.
Buy or rent: containers in Lakewood
Containers here are sold and rented, and the right answer depends on how long you need the box. Buying suits long-term or permanent storage, where the container stays put and you want to keep it. Renting suits a project, a move or a season, where the need ends and the box goes back. Rental details come with your quote.
Compare the options in new vs used and container grades explained, then tell us which grade you are considering.
Keeping a container in good shape in Lakewood
FEMA's National Risk Index puts Jefferson County in the top quarter of US counties for how often winter weather events occur. Snow and ice can limit truck access to soft or unpaved approaches in winter, so look at your approach with that in mind before you schedule a drop.
Two habits help in any season: add vents so condensation can escape instead of wetting what you store, and set the box on a firm, level pad so the frame stays straight and the doors keep swinging freely. Check your vents and your pad each season.
How people use shipping containers in Lakewood
Home storage during a move or renovation is a common fit, with the box parked beside the house while rooms are packed or rebuilt. Garage overflow and seasonal storage works well where the garage has filled up and gear needs somewhere dry. Builders use them for jobsite storage, locking tools and materials on site overnight.
See storage and jobsite for the practical details, then decide which of these matches your project.

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.
