But the best part? We’ve got a wide range of containers to choose from. Whether you’re after something brand new, looking to save with a used one, or need a specialty container for a unique project, we’ve got you covered. Let’s take a closer look at what’s available.

Standard shipping containers

In Memphis, standard shipping containers are a go-to solution for everything from backyard storage to business renovations. They're tough, practical, and easy to customize- which is why they're in such high demand across the city. Here are the standard options we offer:

• 20ft Standard – New (One-Trip)
  Fresh from a single overseas trip, this rust-resistant CORTEN steel container features a marine-grade plywood floor, lockbox-ready doors, and forklift pockets. Its longevity is proven by a 10-year warranty.
• 20ft Standard – Used
  Wind and Water Tight (WWT), ISO-certified, and ideal for storage or conversion projects on a budget. Includes a 1-year warranty.
• 40ft Standard – Used
  Double the space, same durability. Available in WWT or Cargo Worthy condition—perfect for large storage needs or workshop conversions.
• 40ft High Cube – New or Used
  With over 2,700 cubic feet of usable space, this popular container is ideal for container homes, agricultural storage, or construction sites. Our new units has a 10-year warranty, while the budget friendly unit includes a 1-year warranty.

Important Note: Buying a used shipping container doesn’t mean you’re settling for less or compromising on quality. In fact, many used containers are still in excellent condition, some having only been used a few times for shipping. These containers are WWT (wind and watertight), meaning they’re built to handle harsh weather and keep contents safe and dry. Each one is carefully inspected to ensure it remains strong, secure, and capable of handling heavy loads, offering durability you can count on.

Specialty containers

Not every project fits into a standard container, and we understand that. That’s why we offer specialty containers designed to meet your unique needs. Our options include high cube, open side, and double door containers. Let’s take a closer look at each of these.

High cube containers (20ft)

A 20 ft high cube container is similar to a standard 20 ft shipping container but with extra height, giving you about one additional foot of vertical space. Our 20ft high cube containers feature marine-grade flooring, forklift pockets, and lockbox compatibility. They’re great for tool storage, mobile workshops, or compact living units.

Open side containers

With full-length doors that swing open along the side, these containers make loading, unloading, and showcasing your space easier than ever. That’s a big win whether you’re running a pop-up retail shop, setting up for a music or food festival downtown, or just need easy access for wide or bulky equipment.

Features:

• Full side-opening cargo doors
• Rodent- and weather-resistant
• Reinforced flooring
• Available in 20ft and 40ft High Cube

Why Memphis Is a Hotspot for Shipping Container Innovation

Memphis's strategic location as a major transportation hub, with its extensive rail lines and river access, makes it easy to find shipping containers here. This has fueled a wave of creative repurposing projects. With some creativity and hard work, Memphians are turning these strong, metal boxes into all kinds of new things- not only into container homes, garages, or workspaces, but also into fun places to hang out. One great example of this is the Railgarten, proving that shipping containers are popping up in unexpected ways.
