Whether you need a container for storage, shipping, or a modification project, we offer a range of options to meet your needs. Our inventory includes standard 20’ and 40’ containers, plus smaller custom-built sizes. You can also select the grade based on your use case—from wind and watertight to cargo-worthy.
2. Pick Your Container
Each container is thoroughly inspected to ensure it’s structurally sound. We make sure doors work properly, floors are in good condition, and there are no holes. Used containers may show signs of rust or dents, but for those who want a cleaner look, we offer repainting services or new one-trip units.
3. Accessories & Modifications
Need extra features? We offer windows, roll-up or personnel doors, electrical outlets, shelving, insulation, HVAC, interior finishes, lock boxes, vents, and humidity control. Our modification options help tailor containers for offices, workshops, or secure storage.
4. Delivered -or- Loaded to Your Truck
We can deliver up to two 20’ containers or a single 40’ container per trip with our full-size tractor-trailers. For tighter spaces, we offer flatbed wrecker trucks. Prefer to handle transport yourself? We can forklift load directly onto your truck for free. Learn more about our delivery process here.
5. How to Maintain Your Shipping Container in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Biloxi
1. Put your container on level ground.
This will help to prevent corrosion if puddles of water accumulate under or around the unit. Level ground will also make it easier to open and close the doors, and ensure the unit won’t sink unevenly over time. It’s a good idea to place your container on railroad ties or concrete blocks to keep them up off the ground.
2. Lubricate the door hinges.
You don’t want them to seize up after not being used in a long time. Add grease as needed and on a regular basis to ensure your doors work smoothly.
3. Clean dirt and rust.
This will ensure the container lasts as long as possible with fewer chances of corrosion. Use a simple cleaning agent or some bleach and use a hose to clean off dirt and surface rust. You’ll have to be a bit more diligent if you have made any modifications to the containers, as cutting, joining, or stacking them makes maintenance more challenging. This is because dirt, dust, and rust can seep into the joints and metal areas.
4. Keep weight off the roof.
While the corners of containers are very durable, with the ability to have at least seven containers stacked on top, their middles are much weaker. Be sure to clean debris off the roof regularly such as leaves, twigs, standing water and snow.
5. Store only dry goods.
This will prevent condensation. Used containers feature vents for airflow and reduction of condensation. Store dry goods only, and don’t open the doors when humid or rainy. Don’t store furniture against the walls, as this is where condensation usually forms.
6. Get regular refrigeration unit servicing.
If you have a refrigerated unit, hire a professional to inspect and maintain it regularly. This will help spot problems before they worsen, so you can avoid expensive repairs and downtime. Refrigerated containers, also known as reefers, contain many sensitive mechanical and electrical systems, so hire a technician skilled in this area.
7. Replace worn rubber door seals.
Rubber seals on doors keep moisture out of the unit. These seals only last about 10 years, so replace them if they are looking worn down or brittle. Do the same with weather stripping and caulking.
