About Small Shipping Containers

Featuring the same steel profiles, cast corners, and forklift pockets as their larger counterparts, small (or “mini”) shipping containers provide secure storage where space is limited.

 

Available in sizes starting from 6ft, small shipping containers are perfect for residential yards, downtown construction sites, or anywhere space is at a premium. When empty, they stack up to three high for efficient storage.

 

While smaller containers come with a higher price tag than standard 20ft or 40ft units due to lower production volumes, they deliver maximum value when every square foot counts.

What can you use small shipping containers for?

Mini containers are ideal for any application where space is limited. Popular uses include:

 

  • Individual rental units at self-storage facilities.
  • Equipment storage at downtown construction sites.
  • Sports equipment storage at schools and colleges.

Yes, we can modify larger shipping containers to create smaller storage spaces in two ways:

 

  • Partitions: We can add a partition to the middle of a tunnel container to create two separate, smaller storage units within one container.
  • Cutting: We can cut the container in half (or to your desired measurements) to create two smaller, independent units.
