Shipping containers delivered across Minnesota

Delivery across Minnesota

Minnesota has the Twin Cities metro, farm country across the south and west, and lakes and forests in the north up to Duluth and the Iron Range. Containers are used on farms, for construction, at cabins and lake properties, and by businesses that need secure storage.

We deliver across Minnesota: Minneapolis, St. Paul and the suburbs, Rochester, St. Cloud, Mankato, Duluth, Moorhead and rural Minnesota. Deep winter and spring road restrictions are the things to plan around for rural deliveries.

Every order ships from the yard closest to your address. We deliver by tilt-bed, which sets the container straight onto the ground with no equipment needed, or by flatbed if you have a forklift or crane to unload it. Either way you get one delivered price and one point of contact.

How containers get used in Minnesota

Farm storage

Grain and livestock operations store parts, tools and supplies.

Cabin and lake property storage

Owners store docks parts, boat gear and equipment over winter.

Construction storage

Builders around the Twin Cities keep tools and materials secure.

Weather and ground in Minnesota

Deep frost, heavy snow and long winters. A well-drained gravel pad keeps the container level as the ground freezes and thaws, keeping the door end clear of drifts saves shoveling, and vents help with condensation.

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.

Permits and placement rules in Minnesota

The Minnesota State Building Code applies statewide to the buildings and structures it governs and supersedes municipal building codes. The Department of Labor and Industry adds that it is the minimum construction standard throughout the state, but municipalities can only enforce it if they adopt it by local ordinance.

Ask your city or county building official and zoning office what applies to a container at your address.

This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by property, so confirm with the office that covers your address before delivery.
