Buying a container in the Minnetonka area
Deciding between buying and renting a shipping container in Minnetonka comes down to how long you need the box and how permanent the job is. Buy when the container will stay put and keep working year after year. Rent when the need has an end date, such as a move, a renovation or a single season of storage. Either way, you send a ZIP code and a short description of what you need. A real person checks stock at the yard nearest that ZIP, books tilt-bed or flatbed delivery, and sends one delivered price. You deal with one person from quote to drop-off. Customers in Hopkins, St. Louis Park, Edina, Eden Prairie, Golden Valley, Plymouth, Orono and Shorewood can request a delivered price the same way, by sending their ZIP code and what they need.
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 Minnetonka properties
Minnetonka has about 1,900 residents per square mile of land, a mostly suburban pattern, and many homes have room beside a driveway. That space is what makes a container practical here.
Home storage during a move or renovation, with the contents close at hand.
Garage overflow and seasonal storage, so the garage goes back to holding cars.
Jobsite storage for builders who need materials and tools locked up on site.
Local conditions to plan for
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 Minnesota for what we found on official state sites.

Can I buy or rent a shipping container in Minnetonka?
Yes. Containers are available for sale and for rent in the Minnetonka area. Send your ZIP code and what you plan to store, and a real person checks stock at the yard nearest that ZIP for the size and grade you need. Buying suits long-term or permanent storage. Renting suits a project, a move or a season. Rental details come with your quote.
What is the difference between a 20ft and a 40ft container?
The 20ft standard measures 20' L x 8' W x 8'6" H outside and suits home and farm storage or small jobsites. The 40ft standard measures 40' L x 8' W x 8'6" H outside and suits bulk storage, equipment and larger jobsites. If you need height rather than length, the 40ft high cube measures 40' L x 8' W x 9'6" H and suits tall items, shelving or a workshop.
What do I need for flatbed delivery?
You need a forklift or crane set up at your end, plus firm, level ground for the trailer and the lift. 20ft units usually have forklift pockets, while most 40ft units need a crane.
How should I prepare the ground before delivery in Minnetonka?
Set the container on a firm, level pad and keep the approach clear. Snow and ice can limit truck access to soft or unpaved approaches in winter, so plan the route the truck will take. Read site prep for the details, and confirm where on the lot the box will sit before the truck is booked.
