Buying a container in the Lawrence area

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.
What a container does for Lawrence properties
Storage is the main job. The container uses in this region are home storage during a move or renovation, garage overflow and seasonal storage, and jobsite storage for builders. A container keeps furniture, tools and equipment in one locked steel box instead of spread across a garage, a spare room and a rented unit.
For a move or a renovation, the box can sit beside the house while rooms are packed or rebuilt. Builders use the same box to keep materials and tools on site and out of the weather.
Local conditions to plan for
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.
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 Kansas for what we found on official state sites.

Can I buy or rent a shipping container in Lawrence?
Both. Container Koala sells and rents containers, and you can choose new one-trip, cargo-worthy or wind and watertight grade. Send your ZIP code and what you need, and you get one delivered price for the size and grade you pick.
How do I stop condensation inside a container in Lawrence?
Let moist air escape. Add vents, keep the box on a firm, level pad, and leave a little space between your goods and the steel walls so air can move. Shade and a light paint color also help in summer heat.
Can I use a container on a jobsite in Lawrence?
Yes. Jobsite storage for builders is one of the container uses in this region, and a 20ft or 40ft unit keeps tools and materials out of the weather.
What is the difference between a 20ft and a 40ft container?
A 20ft container measures 20' L x 8' W x 8'6" H outside, and a 40ft measures 40' L x 8' W x 8'6" H. The 20ft fits tighter spots and small jobsites, while the 40ft holds more for bulk storage and larger jobsites. A 40ft high cube is 9'6" H outside for tall items and shelving.
