Conex Boxes for Sale

What Is a Conex Box?

The term "conex box" originated during the Korean War, when the U.S. military developed standardized shipping containers (Container Express) to streamline logistics.

Today, a conex container refers to any intermodal steel shipping container, widely used for transporting goods, secure storage, and even modular construction. Often called shipping containers, cargo containers, storage containers, or ISO containers, these units are engineered to endure extreme conditions and repeated handling. In some regions, especially Canada, conex boxes are also referred to as sea cans.

Thanks to their durability, mobility, and versatility, conex boxes are used across industries: from logistics and construction to retail and residential applications.

• Used 20ft: $1,000–$3,000
