Container Types

Dry Container

The most commonly sold/rented container that we offer. Made of 14 gauge Cor-Ten steel construction that refers to the two distinguishing properties of this type of steel; corrosion resistance and tensile strength. It’s built to take abuse and last. It’s over-engineered and made to fill with more than 50,000 pounds of goods, and stacked 10+ high on cargo ships that will weather any storm. The floors are marine grade plywood and engineered to handle more than 70,000 pounds of weight. It’s the strongest, toughest small building on Earth today!

Insulated Container

This container is meant for items that might be heat sensitive. It creates an environment that is heat resistant and maintains a moderate temperature in extreme environments. There is no working refrigeration or A/C unit in this container, but an AC unit can be added very easily to maintain a desired temperature if needed. It’s insulated with 4 ½ inches of rigid foam insulation on all of the walls and ceiling to an R value of 30. It will meet all of your needs for storage of furniture or other items that cannot take exposure to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
