Who Uses Shipping Containers?

Homeowners, businesses, and even government agencies all have use for shipping containers. Giant Lock Box offers Shipping containers for sale that meet each user’s unique needs.

Ohio Homeowners

Homeowners use shipping containers for both moving and storage. Renting a standard-sized (20’) shipping container can be a cost-effective alternative to renting a commercial storage unit.
Homeowner shipping containers

Homeowners rent shipping containers for many different reasons, including:

  • Moving to a new home
  • Temporary storage when remodeling or renovating
  • Longer-term storage for larger or large numbers of items

Using a shipping container for either short-term or long-term home storage is safe and secure. A standard 20’ container easily fits in most driveways or yards.

Ohio Businesses

Businesses use shipping containers not only for shipping but also for on-premise business storage and facility expansion.

Consider the following business uses for shipping containers:

  • Transporting merchandise to stores or distributors
  • Storing inventory, long-term or short-term
  • Expanded office space, either temporarily or on a more permanent basis
  • Annexed retail space
  • Trade shows or mobile displays

Depending on their storage needs and available space, businesses can use either 20’ or 40’ containers.

Contractors

Like other businesses, construction companies and other contractors find plenty of uses for shipping containers, including:

  • On-site offices for construction and other work
  • Worksite storage for equipment and materials
  • Breakrooms for workers
  • Climate-controlled on-site housing

Government Agencies

Shipping containers aren’t just used in the private sector. Federal, state, and local government agencies also use shipping containers for things like:

  • Transporting equipment and supplies
  • Emergency command centers
  • Event simulations
  • Temporary offices or classrooms
  • Short- or long-term storage

What Kinds of Shipping Containers Are Available In Ohio?

There are many types of shipping containers available for different uses and users. Choose the type of container that best fits your individual needs.

Storage Containers

Homeowners and small businesses often use shipping containers for storage. Standard storage containers are typically 20’ long with locking doors. If temperature is an issue, insulated and even refrigerated containers are available.

Shipping Containers

Shipping containers can be 20’ or 40’ long. Both size containers adhere to similar weight restrictions, although you get about twice the volume in a 40’ model. Containers designed for shipping are waterproof, so they can be shipped on cargo ships and stored on docks.

Conex Containers

Conex containers, sometimes called ocean containers, are shipping containers designed for stacking on cargo ships, railway cars, or storage lots. These containers are economical for their size and very durable. They’re designed to standard sizes so that multiple containers can be easily stacked to maximize the use of space, just like building blocks. Conex containers are available in 20’, 40’, and 45’ sizes.

What Size Containers Are Available in Ohio?

20’ Containers

If you’re a homeowner or have a business with limited space, a 20’ shipping container is the ideal size. A 20’ container is also a good size for smaller commercial companies that want easy shipping.

Consider these key specifications:

  • External dimensions: 20’ long x 8’ wide x 8’6” high
  • Interior dimensions: 19’3” long x 7’8” wide x 7’9” high
  • Door opening: 7’8” wide x 7’ 5” high
  • Internal volume: 1,169 cubic feet
  • Weight (empty): 4,850 pounds
  • Storage weight: 62,000 pounds (approx.)
  • Maximum gross weight: 66,139 pounds

Most 20’ containers are available in both standard (8’6”) and high-cube (9’6”) heights.

40’ Containers

If a 20’ container isn’t big enough for your needs, consider a larger 40’ shipping container. This size is what most people think of when they envision a standard shipping or Conex container.

Consider these key specifications:

  • External dimensions: 40’ long x 8’ wide x 8’6” high
  • Interior dimensions: 39’5” long x 7’8” wide x 7’9” high
  • Door opening: 7’8.5” wide x 7’5” high
  • Internal volume: 2,350 cubic feet
  • Weight (empty): 8,000 pounds
  • Storage weight: 59,200 pounds (approx.)
  • Maximum gross weight: 67,200 pounds

Most 40’ shipping containers come in two height options: standard (8’6”) or high-cube (9’6”).

What Specialty Containers Are Available in Ohio?

In addition to standard 20’ and 40’ containers, Giant Lock Box offers a variety of specialty containers for different needs.

Open-Sided Containers

Some items don’t easily fit into a standard-sized shipping container. If shipping or storing oversized items, consider using an open-sided container. This type of container lets you open the entire 20’ or 40’ side for easy loading and unloading of contents.

Open-Top Containers

Some items are too tall to fit through standard container doors. If you have overly tall items, consider an open-top container that lets you load materials from the top. These containers come with either metal hard tops or canvas roofs.

High-Cube Containers

A high-cube container is another option if you have overly tall items to ship or store. High-cube containers are 9’6” tall, compared to a normal container’s 8’6” height. That extra foot can make all the difference with taller items.

Double-Door Containers

In some situations, you may need to access your container from either end. This calls for a double-door container, available in 20’ or 40’ sizes, in both normal and high-cube heights, that lets you access contents from both sides.

Insulated Containers

Consider an insulated container if you need to protect contents from heat or cold or in overly humid environments. Giant Lock Box offers various sizes of insulated containers for your specific needs.

Refrigerated Containers

A refrigerated container is a way to go if you need to ship or store food or other perishable items. Our refrigerated shipping containers will keep your goods at a constant temperature and humidity, from between -30 degrees to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

How Much Does a Shipping Container Cost?

Different-sized containers are priced differently. Specialty containers, such as insulated or refrigerated containers, often carry a premium price because of their enhanced functionality. Giant Lock Box offers competitive prices on all types and sizes of containers. Contact us today for a quote for your specific needs.

How Much Does a New 20-Foot Shipping Container Cost?

Although prices vary, depending on features and shipping location, a new 20-foot container typically costs around $4,200.

How Much Does a New 40-Foot Shipping Container Cost?

Not surprisingly, a new 40-foot container costs more than a 20-foot container. Expect to pay about 20% to 40% more than a 20’ container, or in the $5,200 range.

How Much is a Used Shipping Container?

You can save some money by purchasing used rather than new. Make sure that the used container is in good condition, of course. Used prices are about 60% of new prices, or in the $2,800 range for a used 20’ container and $3,700 for a used 40' high-cube shipping container.
