• 20’ and 40’ open top containers available but not stocked in our yard
• 20’ and 40’ one-trip containers, available but not stocked in our yard

Note: A one-trip container is manufactured overseas, loaded with cargo, and shipped to the US. Once it arrives, the cargo is unloaded, and the container is sold. It has made only ‘one trip,’ which is why it is called a one-trip container.

Container Grades

Our containers are graded by an A B C rating system.

A = Good paint on the exterior, decent interior paint, minor rust, good roof, good doors, and good floors. Colors vary. The most expensive container we stock.

B = Decent paint exterior, ok interior paint, more visible rust, good roof, good doors, floors have been repaired. Colors vary. The most popular container we sell.

C = Paint is rougher, more visible rust, and more excessive than B grade, good roof, good doors with some rust on corners of doors, dents or scrapes on sides of the container. We sell a lot of these to people that are modifying or for their DIY projects.

Which is right for you? For the average customer who wants to do nothing, most will buy the A grade. B grade is our most popular container, and C Grade is great for someone who wants to modify a container, such as build a tiny house, a container house, or a portable shop.

Purchase

We strongly recommend coming to our facility in Kankakee, IL, to see our wide selection of containers. It’s wise to have a good idea of what you are planning on doing with the container, a budget you have in mind, and possibly a picture or video of where you want the container placed.

Rental – Residential Lease – Commercial

We also rent containers. 20’ containers are most common for residential use, and 40’ Standard or High Cube containers are most common for Industrial, Commercial, Jobsite, or Construction Sites.

We have a 90-day minimum for rental agreements. If you need something short-term, we can usually accommodate this request. The customer is responsible for paying delivery, pickup, and 90-day rental in advance of the container’s delivery. You will then be billed on a monthly cycle if the container is needed after 90 days. 

Delivery

We can deliver containers for an additional fee. We deliver on a semi with a tilt trailer. Customer drive must be hard-packed stone, asphalt, or concrete. We can go across a lawn or field, but this at our driver’s discretion. If the truck gets stuck on your property, it is the customer’s responsibility for all towing-related costs.

We must know which way to load the container on the trailer to be unloaded in the correct orientation.

• Doors to the front of trailer = Doors will come off of the trailer last.
• Doors to the rear of trailer = Doors will come off of the trailer first.

Pick Up

Please make sure you bring the correct size trailer to pick up your container.

• 20’ container weighs 5,000 pounds
• 40’ standard height container weighs 8,500 pounds
• 40’ High Cube container weighs 10,000 pounds

You can legally haul 13’6” tall, therefore…

• 20’ and 40’ standard height container is 8’6” tall, so your trailer and any cribbing may not exceed 5’ in height. 
• 40’ High Cube container is 9’6” tall, so your trailer and any cribbing may not exceed 4’ in height.

It is the customer’s responsibility to chain down the container after we load your trailer.
