Buyer's Guide

Shipping Container Buyer's Guide

Whether you’re purchasing a container for storage, business use, or a custom project, this guide will help you make the right decision.

1. Choose the Right Size

  • 20ft Container – Ideal for small storage needs or tight spaces.

  • 40ft Container – Best for bulk storage, shipping, or conversions.

  • High Cube Containers – Offer an extra foot of height (9.6ft) for taller equipment or builds.


2. Select a Condition

  • New (One-Trip): Almost brand new, used once for international shipping. Great appearance, long lifespan.

  • Used (Cargo Worthy or Wind & Water Tight): More affordable, functional, and secure. Minor cosmetic wear.


3. Consider Customization

Need modifications? We can customize containers with:

  • Doors & windows

  • Insulation & ventilation

  • Electrical wiring

  • Paint & branding


4. Plan for Delivery

Make sure your site is accessible for delivery. Typical requirements include:

  • Flat surface (gravel, concrete, or hard-packed dirt)

  • Enough clearance space for truck & container
