Shipping Containers for Sale in Nashville, Tennessee

Viva Containers in Nashville: What We Offer

We carry a wide selection of containers, from budget-friendly used options to new and specialty ones designed for creative spaces.

Quick note: Before we start, keep in mind that containers come in two conditions—new and used. Used containers are wind and water tight (WWT), ISO certified, and come with a 1-year warranty, while new containers are backed by a 10-year warranty. Don’t think that buying used means compromising on quality—used containers in Nashville are still built tough. They’re weatherproof and ready to handle Tennessee’s storms or summer heat without any problems.

Standard shipping containers

The classics liked by Nashville residents, and for good reason. These containers are the go-to solution for many applications. For example, they're commonly used for job site storage, residential storage, equipment housing, mobile workspace conversions, and for moving and logistics. Here in Nashville, we offer 20ft and 40ft standard containers.

• 20ft Standard – New (One-Trip)
  Constructed from incredibly strong CORTEN steel, they shrug off harsh weather, and your belongings are kept safe. This safety is enhanced with lockbox-ready doors if you need extra security. Other important features are tough floors and forklift pockets for easy moving.
• 20ft Standard – Used
  Built to ISO specifications and sealed against wind and water, these containers offer over 1,160 cubic feet of interior space- plenty of room for tools, inventory, or personal belongings.
• 40ft Standard – Used
  Our used 40ft standard shipping containers are the answer for big storage or transport needs. These containers, with over 2,350 cubic feet of interior room, can bring you exactly what you need; they can fit almost every innovative idea.
• 40ft High Cube – New or Used
  These containers have the same length and width as standard containers but are one foot taller, providing extra vertical space. They are ideal for taller cargo or when maximizing the height of usable space is important.

Specialty containers

If your project needs something extra—extra access or extra space, then you’ll need one of our specialty containers. We offer high cube, double door, and open side containers.

Note: All of the specialty containers, except the high cube one, are available only in new condition.
