40’ Standard Storage Containers for Rent
When your business needs secure, spacious storage solutions, 40-foot shipping containers provide the ultimate combination of capacity and versatility.

Our rental program is designed with flexibility in mind.

New 40-Foot Containers for Rent
For businesses that require pristine storage conditions, our new 40-foot containers are our top rental option. These one-trip containers have made only a single voyage from overseas manufacturing facilities to North American ports, meaning they’re essentially brand-new units with minimal wear.
New containers feature intact factory paint, clean interior walls and floors, and watertight seals that provide maximum protection against moisture, dust, and pests. The structural integrity is exceptional, with no dents, rust, or previous modifications that could compromise security or weather resistance. These units are ideal for businesses storing sensitive equipment, electronics, documents, or inventory that requires climate-stable conditions.
The exterior finish on new containers maintains a professional appearance that reflects well on your business site. If your container will be visible to clients or positioned in a prominent location, the pristine condition of new units ensures they won’t detract from your facility’s image. Many businesses in retail, healthcare, and professional services prefer new containers when appearance and absolute cleanliness are priorities.
We stock new 40-foot containers in standard heights as well as high-cube options, which provide an additional foot of interior vertical space. This extra clearance is valuable when storing tall equipment, stacking pallets, or creating interior shelving systems that maximize your storage capacity.

Used 40-Foot Containers for Rent
Our used 40-foot containers for rent deliver the same fundamental storage capacity at a more economical rental rate. These cargo-worthy units have completed multiple shipping cycles but remain structurally sound, weatherproof, and secure. Each used container in our rental fleet undergoes thorough inspections to ensure it meets our quality standards before deployment to your site.
Used containers may show cosmetic signs of their working history, including surface rust, minor dents, or paint wear, but these aesthetic considerations don’t affect functionality. The doors operate smoothly, seals remain watertight, and the steel construction provides the same security and durability that make shipping containers the global standard for protected cargo transport.
For construction companies, manufacturing facilities, agriculture operations, and other industrial applications where appearance is secondary to functionality, used containers represent an excellent value. The cost savings on rental rates can be substantial over extended rental periods, allowing you to allocate more budget to your core operations while still securing reliable storage.
We maintain a diverse inventory of used 40-foot containers, and our team can help you select units that best match your specific requirements. If you need containers for storing construction materials, landscaping equipment, or surplus inventory, used units provide all the essential features at pricing that makes sense for budget-conscious operations.

The versatility of 40-foot containers makes them valuable across numerous commercial and industrial sectors.
Construction
Construction companies rely on these units for secure tool storage at job sites, protecting expensive equipment from theft and weather damage while keeping materials organized and accessible. The large capacity accommodates everything from power tools and scaffolding to lumber and building supplies.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing and production facilities use 40-foot containers to handle inventory overflow, especially during peak production periods or when warehouse space is temporarily limited. The sealed, secure environment protects raw materials, components, and finished goods from contamination and damage while keeping them readily available for production or distribution.
Retail
Retail businesses benefit from container rentals during seasonal inventory buildups, store renovations, or location transitions. The storage capacity allows you to move merchandise, fixtures, and equipment out of your retail space while maintaining security and easy access when needed.
Agriculture
Agricultural operations throughout Minnesota and North Dakota utilize 40-foot containers for equipment storage, seed and chemical storage, and protection of harvested crops. The weatherproof construction stands up to rural conditions and provides reliable protection through harsh winters and summer weather extremes.
Event Management
Event management companies, educational institutions, and municipal operations also find value in rental containers for temporary storage during festivals, facility upgrades, or seasonal equipment storage. The mobility of containers means storage can be positioned where it’s most convenient and then removed when no longer needed.
Oil & Gas
Oil and gas operations, telecommunications companies, and utility providers use containers at remote work sites to secure tools, spare parts, and safety equipment. The robust construction withstands the demanding conditions of industrial sites while providing an organized storage solution that improves work efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Delivery timelines depend on your location and current inventory availability, but we typically coordinate delivery within 3-7 business days of your confirmed order. For urgent needs, we make every effort to accommodate expedited delivery. When you contact us with your requirements, we’ll provide a specific delivery window based on your site location and our current schedule.
Your site should have a level, stable surface capable of supporting the container (approximately 8,000 pounds) and its contents when loaded. Gravel, concrete, asphalt, or compacted earth all work well. The delivery area needs at least 14 feet of width and 60 feet of length to accommodate the delivery truck and placement process. Overhead clearance of at least 16 feet is necessary if using crane delivery. Our team can assess your site and recommend any specific preparations during the quoting process.
Standard rental containers are delivered as-is without modifications. However, you’re welcome to add temporary, removable fixtures like freestanding shelving units, lighting, or organization systems that don’t permanently alter the container structure. If your project requires permanent modifications such as electrical installation, windows, or ventilation, purchasing a container may be a better option than renting.
Our rental rates cover the container itself for the agreed rental period. Delivery and pickup fees are typically charged separately, though we occasionally offer promotions that bundle these services. The rental rate does not include site preparation, insurance, permits that may be required by your local jurisdiction, or optional services like lock boxes or additional security features. We provide transparent, itemized quotes so you understand all costs upfront.
Rental containers may not be used to store hazardous materials, flammable liquids in large quantities, perishable food items, or any illegal substances. Live animals, plants requiring environmental controls, or materials that could damage the container structure are also prohibited. Standard business inventory, equipment, tools, building materials, documents, and similar commercial items are all appropriate for container storage. If you have questions about specific items, our team can clarify what’s acceptable under our rental terms.
