Benefits of Buying a Storage Container
When you need storage for the long term, buying a storage container can be a smart and cost-effective solution. Instead of paying ongoing monthly rental fees, purchasing a container gives you complete ownership and the flexibility to use it for as long as you need.
Once you own your container, you can modify it, relocate it, or customize it to fit your changing storage needs. Whether you're a homeowner, contractor, business owner, or property manager, a storage container provides a practical way to add secure storage space without the expense and commitment of building a permanent structure.
Portable Storage Delivered to You
One of the biggest advantages of a shipping container is its portability. Your container can be delivered directly to your property, giving you convenient storage right where you need it.
Storage containers provide secure, weather-resistant space for equipment, inventory, tools, materials, household belongings, and more. They're ideal for construction sites, businesses, farms, residential properties, and temporary projects.
As your needs change, your container can be relocated to another site, making it a flexible storage solution for both short-term projects and long-term storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes of storage containers do you offer?
We offer 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers, including new and used options. Availability may vary, so contact us for current inventory.
What is the difference between renting and buying a container?
Renting is a great option when you need temporary or flexible storage. Buying may be more economical for long-term use or when you want to keep the container permanently. We can help you determine which option is best for your needs.
How much does a shipping container cost to purchase?
Purchase prices vary based on size, condition, age, location, and availability. We carry both new and used containers and can provide current pricing.
Do you deliver the containers?
Yes. We deliver containers directly to your location using our own trucks. Rental deliveries are available within approximately 150 miles, while purchased containers can be delivered within approximately 300 miles of Houston, depending on the location and delivery requirements.
Can I choose where the container is placed?
Yes. We will work with you to place the container where you need it, provided the site is accessible and suitable for delivery. The delivery area should be level, stable, and free of obstacles such as low-hanging branches and power lines.
What type of surface is needed for a container?
A level, firm surface such as concrete, asphalt, or compacted gravel is ideal. The site should be able to support the weight of the container and its contents. We recommend setting the container on 4” thick concrete blocks when delivering onto a grassy or dirt surface.
How much space is needed to deliver a container?
Our delivery trucks require adequate room to safely access your property and place the container. The exact space needed depends on the container size, truck, and site conditions.
For delivery of a 20’ container, we need 60’ of straight area to back in, tilt and pull straight out from under the container.
For delivery of a 40’ container, we need 120’ of straight area to back in, tilt and pull straight out from under the container.
Can you deliver a container to a residential property?
Yes. Portable storage containers are a convenient solution for homeowners, remodels, moves, construction projects, and additional storage. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure portable storage containers are allowed by the jurisdiction.
Are your containers wind and watertight?
Our containers are better than wind and watertight and are inspected before sale or rental. Used containers may show normal signs of wear from previous use. We can help you select the condition and type of container that best fits your needs.
Can I inspect a container before purchasing it?
Absolutely. We encourage customers to inspect available containers when possible so they can choose the condition and features that best meet their needs. Call to schedule an appointment to come select your preferred unit from our inventory.
Can you modify a shipping container?
No. We do not provide any modifications.
Can you add side doors to a shipping container?
Containers with Side-door modifications are available. Let us know what type of access you need, and we can discuss the available options. We can also supply double door containers with two doors on each end of the container.
Do you sell new and used containers?
Yes. We maintain a large inventory of new and used shipping containers. Availability changes regularly, so contact us for current inventory.
What should I look for when buying a used shipping container?
Important considerations include the container's overall condition, doors and seals, flooring, roof, walls, frame, and signs of rust or previous repairs. We can help you select a container based on your intended use and budget.
