New & Used Storage Containers for Sale

Serving Minnesota, Western Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and the entire United States

Storage container uses:


Government agencies, including the military

Conex boxes are being used to house Americans abroad—where it has become necessary to provide safe, rapid housing within U.S. compounds—in addition to a multitude of other uses.

Shipping freight across the U.S. as well as around the world

This is likely the most common use recognized by most buyers of cargo or shipping containers. Whether by ocean cargo ship, train, or on a truck trailer, cargo containers are hard to miss.

Storage of seasonal merchandise or overstock

In tumultuous economic times we understand the importance of buying goods at the right price. Often the best price is accompanied by a (large) minimum purchase and/or offered for a limited time; our storage containers make it easy to buy and accept delivery when the price is right.

File storage

Records retention, whether on paper or electronic media, requires secure storage space. Unfortunately all those files don't generate sales so keeping them on business premises can quickly become an expensive option. A storage container safely stores records out of the way so that your business space can be used for income generation rather than storage.

Offsite shop

When you are working at your customer's site, storage containers provide an excellent source of storage and shop space that you can secure at night. Store inventory as it comes in, provide a break room or work area out of the elements, or simply store your tools safely where you use them.

Extra office space

Has your business outgrown its existing space? Do you need additional office space now? One or more storage containers can be used as office storage or adjacent office space.

Farm storage

No time to build additional storage on your farm but more tools, feed, or other necessities than space? Consider using storage containers to fill the storage gap. We can customize one or more 10 ft., 20 ft., or 40 ft. storage containers to fill your storage needs.

Cabin owners

Mini storage is a great solution to the problem of limited storage at your lake home "up North". Snowmobiles, boating equipment, and maintenance equipment are all great candidates for storage in one of our storage containers.

Home office

If you have the space but not the budget to build a separate home office, here's your chance to get away from the kids, pets, and personal calls and visitors. We work with you to determine exactly what you need. We'll provide the basic structure in the form of a conex box with doors and windows, ventilation and secure locks, not to mention custom paint. Concerned about appearance? It's much less costly to add a faux exterior (unfortunately this is not a service we can provide at this time) to the container that blends with your home than building from the ground up.

Home Sweet Home - Made out of conex boxes!
