Jobsite storage
Shipping containers for jobsite storage
If your crew is on a site for months, or you move from job to job, owning a container often beats renting one. Buy it once, move it when the job moves.
What we'd usually suggest
- Size
- 20ft or 40ft
- Grade
- Cargo-worthy or wind and watertight
Contractors care about secure and dry, not pretty. A 20 fits tight lots; a 40 holds material for a whole house. Every site and budget is different, so tell us what you're storing and we'll say if another option fits better.
Tips that save trouble later
- A lock box welded over the padlock makes it much harder to cut. Ask us if you want one added.
- Plan the drop spot so materials can be unloaded at the doors without blocking the build.
- Ask the general contractor or site owner about placement rules before delivery.
- You will need a truck to move it to the next job. Tell us if you want a price for that too.
Check before delivery
- Excavations, trenches and fresh fill near the drop spot
- Overhead lines on new subdivisions
- Soft graded dirt that has not been compacted

Questions people ask
Is buying cheaper than renting a container for a job?
It depends on how long you need it. Rentals carry monthly fees plus delivery and pickup. If you need storage for most of a year, or across several jobs, buying a used container is often cheaper overall. We sell; we do not rent.
Can you deliver to an active construction site?
Yes, as long as the truck has a firm, straight approach and someone is there to show the driver where it goes.
