Shipping Containers for Sale and Rent in Reno, NV
New and used 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers delivered across the Reno area. Your container ships from the yard nearest to you, with one delivered price and one point of contact.
Buying a container in the Reno area
Delivery is the first practical question for most container projects in Reno. A container arrives by tilt-bed or flatbed truck, and the choice affects how much clear space you need and how the box comes off the trailer. Send your ZIP code and what you need. A real person checks stock at the yard nearest that ZIP for the size and grade, books tilt-bed or flatbed delivery and sends one delivered price. You deal with one person from quote to drop-off. Customers in Sparks can request a delivered price the same way: send the ZIP code and the container details, and the same delivery check applies.
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.
How people use shipping containers in Reno
The common uses in this region are home storage during a move or renovation, garage overflow and seasonal storage, and jobsite storage for builders. A container also works as a workshop when you need a lockable work area.

Keeping a container in good shape in Reno
FEMA's National Risk Index puts Washoe County in the top tenth of US counties for how often wildfire events occur. Keep dry brush and weeds cleared around the container where wildfire risk is high. For general care, add vents to manage condensation and set the container on a firm, level pad.
Local conditions to plan for
Heat and sun
Steel in full sun gets very hot inside. A lighter color, a shade structure and vents make a big difference to anything heat-sensitive.
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 Nevada for what we found on official state sites.

Can I buy or rent a shipping container in Reno?
Yes. Containers are for sale and for rent. Send your ZIP code and what you need, and a real person checks stock at the yard nearest that ZIP for the size and grade. You get one delivered price and deal with one person from quote to drop-off.
How is a shipping container delivered in Reno?
Delivery is by tilt-bed or flatbed truck. A tilt-bed tilts and slides the container onto the ground, so it needs a long, straight, clear approach. A flatbed keeps the container on the trailer, and you provide a forklift or crane to lift it off.
How should I prepare the ground before delivery in Reno?
Choose a firm, level pad with a clear approach. For tilt-bed delivery, keep the run long and straight with no low wires or branches. For flatbed delivery, plan the lift and keep the site clear for the forklift or crane.
How long does delivery take in Reno?
Delivery timing depends on the size and grade you choose and stock at the yard nearest your ZIP code. A real person confirms the plan with you and sends one delivered price.
What do I need for flatbed delivery?
A flatbed keeps the container on the trailer, so you provide a forklift or crane to lift it off. 20ft units usually have forklift pockets; most 40ft units need a crane. The site needs firm, level ground and clear space for the lift.
