Buying a container in the Paterson area
Paterson sits in Passaic County, and Container Koala serves the city and the communities around it, including Prospect Park, Haledon, Elmwood Park, Woodland Park, Fair Lawn, Hawthorne, Totowa and Clifton. The city is densely built, with about 18,600 residents per square mile of land, so space for a container is often tight. Send your ZIP code and what you need to get a delivered price.
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.

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 New Jersey for what we found on official state sites.

Can I buy or rent a shipping container in Paterson?
Yes. Containers are available for sale and for rent in Paterson. Send your ZIP code and the size and grade you want, and a real person will check the yard nearest that ZIP and send one delivered price.
How is a shipping container delivered in Paterson?
Delivery is by tilt-bed or flatbed truck. Tilt-bed slides the container onto the ground and needs a long, straight, clear approach. Flatbed keeps the container on the trailer and the customer provides a forklift or crane to lift it off. Both need firm, level ground.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Paterson?
It depends on where the box sits. Rules are set by the city or county, and sometimes by an HOA or deed restriction, so check with the local planning or zoning office before delivery. In a densely built city with about 18,600 residents per square mile, setbacks and access matter too.
How do I stop condensation inside a container in Paterson?
Add vents so moist air can move, and set the container on a firm, level pad so water does not pool under it.
