Shipping Containers For Storage
Enjoy the perks of a traditional self-storage unit without hauling your stuff to and from a storage center. Shipping containers provide a secure storage space for a broad range of household and business items — from memorabilia to muscle cars, tools to ATVs, and everything in between.
Use your shipping container as-is for a cost-effective alternative to constructing a shed or barn. For an elevated experience, modify your container with windows to allow for natural light, shelving to maximize storage space, and doors for easy accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prepare for my shipping container delivery?
The first step is making sure that your drop-off site is safe and accessible for the delivery driver.
They will need enough space to maneuver the truck and offload your shipping container. They will also need a smooth, solid road — surfaces like sand, mud, snow, and loose dirt won't work for a delivery.
When choosing where you want your shipping container placed, keep in mind that shipping containers used for storage should rest on level, stable surfaces. This prevents the doors from warping and becoming difficult to close. A cement or asphalt foundation is best, as it will provide a firm, level surface for the container and will stop water from pooling around the bottom.
You can also protect your shipping container self-storage unit from groundwater by raising it on level wooden blocks or iron plates. For a more detailed breakdown of what to expect for your shipping container delivery, do not hesitte to contact us.

What can I store in a shipping container?
If you’re a regular homeowner who doesn’t have a garage to stash bicycles, patio furniture, or your favourite muscle car, you can store them in a shipping container.
If you’re a small business owner and you need a secure space to organize your retail inventory, you can use a shipping container.
If you’re a construction company, you can place your container onsite and use it to store large metals, cement and other construction equipment.
If you're a farmer, shipping containers are a great way to store equipment and supplies year-round, as well as keep animal feed dry and safe from rodents and insects.
In short: if you have something to store, you can find a top-quality shipping container for sale and use it as a residential or commercial storage unit.
What makes shipping containers good for storage?
Shipping containers (also known as connex boxes or sea cans) make an excellent choice for self-storage units due to their large standardized storage capacity. For instance, a 20ft container can store the equivalent of 200 standard mattresses, two compact cars, or 9,600 wine bottles and a 40ft container can hold double the volume. Basically, you can fit a lot of your items in a container without running out of space.
Also, these containers are wind and watertight and were originally designed to carry freight, making them perfect for keeping your items safe from the elements. Their windowless design also maximizes security and privacy. Unlike storage units, these containers are portable and cheaper to set up.
Do these storage containers meet ISO standards?
ISO standards most notably apply to the size, height, and type of container.
Size: The standard ISO container sizes are 20ft, 40ft, 45ft, and 48ft.
Height: ISO containers are available in two heights: standard (8’6) and high-cube (9’6)
Type: ISO container types include general-purpose containers, refrigerated containers (also known as “reefers”), open-top containers, platform containers, and tank containers.
Boxhub primarily sells 20ft and 40ft storage containers in standard and high-cube heights. Specialty units such as reefers and open-top containers are available in certain markets.
How do I set up my shipping container as a storage unit?
The first thing that you can do to prepare your shipping container for storage is to clean it. Using a pressure washer, spray down the container's interior and exterior. Let it thoroughly dry. Then you can choose to add insulation or other modifications to it, like windows, doors, or security cameras.
If your container will be placed somewhere with high levels of rainfall or snowfall, consider installing an air-conditioning unit and adding ventilation to keep your container dry and prevent rust from accumulating. You can also choose to reinforce the container’s weather stripping and caulking to keep water out.
If you’re storing large items, you may not need to add any shelving inside the units — keeping the floor space open would be a better choice. If you’re storing small items, add shelves, cubbies, and cabinets to arrange your items.
We have a range of container modification kits to choose from, with each enabling you to upgrade your container in as little as 45 minutes. For a full breakdown of what's available
How should I choose a shipping container for storage?
Shipping containers are available in various standardized sizes and conditions, making it easy for you to choose the one that fits your storage needs.
Both new (one-trip) and used (wind and watertight) containers are excellent options for storage. They are made of durable, weather-resistant COR-TEN steel, which means that you can safely and securely store a wide range of goods in them.
The most commonly available sizes are 20ft containers, which offer an internal volume of 1,172 cubic feet, and 40ft containers, which offer an internal volume of 2,385 cubic feet.
