Container Parts & Upgrades

Need something for your container or want us to customize it for you? We have options and a professional services team to get the job done. Some of these customizations might require a security deposit.

Ventilation

Generally containers come with 4 vents in the top corners. There are numerous options here: Adding additional lower vents increase airflow and reduces the heat your prescious cargo may be subject to. There are attic type vent fan options as well as electrical and solar options.

Thermoseal coat your container

Also if you are buying a used container, it might have shipped chemicals and such so this also locks in the smell.

New - 1 Trip

Since almost all containers are made in Asia, the newest we can get in the western hemisphere is what is known as a 1 Trip. As in, it has only taken one trip across the ocean. These work well for tiny homes because we know what they carried or for anyone who wants a pristine, new box with almost no dings or dents. It may just have a few scratches at the corners from where it was picked up by the crane at the port.

Cargo Worthy

Cargo Worthy means exactly what it sounds like, they are still certified for international shipping. When huge companies like Apple & Samsung are shipping their goods overseas, they don't send someone down to the dock to inspect the containers. Instead, they rely on the CSC Certification that will keep their goods dry and secure as the ship moves through violent sees. So, you get the same guaranty that Apple and Samsung do!

Water Tight

These containers will live up to their name but they are no longer certified for international shipping. They won't leak, the doors work and the floor is solid but they are just not going to be pretty and they will probably smell funny. These containers are all about value. They are an affordable option if you do not care what it looks like and just want the cheapest solution for storing your goods.

Self Storage Developments

Self Storage Developments: A Cost-Effective Investment Opportunity Looking for a low-barrier entry into the thriving self-storage industry? Consider this innovative strategy: rent a medium-sized car lot and transform it into a profitable self-storage facility. By leveraging existing infrastructure, you can minimize startup costs and fast-track your path to revenue. Plus, with the flexibility of specialized containers, you can expand your operation affordably and efficiently.

The Core Strategy: Why It Works Affordable Entry Point: Unlike traditional self-storage projects that require hefty down payments, this approach only needs one month’s rent and a security deposit to secure the car lot—making it accessible to a wide range of investors. Ready-Made Infrastructure: A typical car lot already includes a perimeter fence, lighting, an office, bathrooms, ADA-compliant features, and 1-2 acres of concrete. This eliminates the need for costly groundwork or construction. Smart Financing: Purchase storage containers through business equipment financing, spreading the cost over time and preserving your cash flow for other priorities.
