Shipping Containers for Sale and Rent in Tempe, AZ
New and used 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers delivered across the Tempe area. Your container ships from the yard nearest to you, with one delivered price and one point of contact.
Buying a container in the Tempe area
Heat is the first thing to plan around in Tempe. FEMA's National Risk Index puts Maricopa County in the top tenth of US counties for how often heat wave events occur, and a steel box sitting in the open sun gets very hot. Light paint, vents and a little shade help keep what you store inside safe. The same sun dries the ground fast, so a firm, level pad and a clear approach matter as much as the container you pick. Container Koala sells and rents 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers in Tempe, in new one-trip, cargo-worthy and wind and watertight grades, delivered by tilt-bed or flatbed truck. You send a ZIP code and what you need, and one person handles the quote through drop-off. Customers in Guadalupe, Chandler, Paradise Valley, Gilbert, Mesa, Phoenix, Glendale and Fountain Hills can request a delivered price the same way, by ZIP code.
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 in Tempe
FEMA's National Risk Index puts Maricopa County in the top tenth of US counties for how often heat wave events occur. Steel gets very hot in the sun, so light paint, vents and shade help keep contents safe. Beyond heat, general care is simple: fit vents so moist air can move, and set the box on a firm, level pad so the doors swing and seal properly. A pad that stays level through the dry season keeps the frame from twisting.
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 Arizona for what we found on official state sites.

Can I buy or rent a shipping container in Tempe?
Yes. Container Koala sells and rents 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers in Tempe, in new one-trip, cargo-worthy and wind and watertight grades. Send your ZIP code with the size and grade you want, and a real person checks stock at the yard nearest that ZIP and sends one delivered price.
How do I stop condensation inside a container in Tempe?
Fit vents so moist air can move through the box, and keep it on a firm, level pad with shade where you can get it. Light paint helps in the heat, and vents do the most work when the doors seal well.
What do I need for flatbed delivery?
A forklift or crane that you set up, firm and level ground, and room for the truck to reach the drop point. Most 20ft containers have forklift pockets; most 40ft containers need a crane.
How should I prepare the ground before delivery in Tempe?
Pick a firm, level spot and clear the approach. For tilt-bed delivery the run needs to be long, straight and free of low wires and branches. The site prep guide lists what to check before the truck arrives.
