Standard shipping containers

Shipping containers have become a practical and popular choice across New Orleans for a variety of storage and project needs. With the city’s hot, humid summers and frequent rainstorms, having a weatherproof and durable solution is essential, and these containers are built to handle just that. They are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, including the 40ft high cube option.

• 20ft Standard (New): Features CORTEN steel walls and marine-grade plywood floors. Lockbox-ready doors and forklift pockets for easy handling. This size is perfect for storage, whether you need it for residential or jobsite uses.
• 20ft Standard (Used): Wind and water tight (WWT), ISO-certified, and budget-friendly. Ideal for temporary projects.
• 40ft Standard (Used): This container offers double the space, which makes it ideal for bulk storage and equipment housing, commercial or agricultural use.
• 40ft High Cube (New or Used) : A 40ft high cube container is the same length as a standard 40ft unit but includes an extra foot of height, providing more vertical storage space.

Important note: Buying used containers doesn't mean compromising on quality. Our used containers are carefully inspected for strength, security, and watertight seals. They’ve got years of life left and are perfect for long-term use.

Specialty shipping containers

If you feel like none of the standard shipping containers offer what you need, or if you're starting to have doubts, don’t give up on shipping containers just yet. We’ve got something a bit more unique for you, too. These are our specialty containers- high cube, open side, and double door models. Each one offers a unique feature you’re going to love and might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

High cube containers (20ft)

In New Orleans, space is precious. That’s why the best solution might not be the biggest container, but the highest. That's what high cube containers have to offer.

With the same footprint, these containers offer 1 foot of extra vertical space. While standard containers are typically 8 feet 6 inches tall, high cube containers are 9 feet 6 inches tall.

We offer 20ft high cube containers in two condition : new and used.

Double door (tunnel) containers

New Orleans is a city full of energy and history, but big challenges too. From sudden storms to tight streets, and from street festivals to pop-up shops, people here need smart, flexible solutions. That’s exactly where our double door containers come in.

These containers open on both ends, which makes them super easy to load and unload, perfect for busy events or storing emergency supplies during hurricane season. You can grab things from one side and still add more from the other.

Businesses use them, too, in New Orleans. In areas where rent is high and space is limited, double door containers can become pop-up stores, food stands, or even small workshops. Artists turn them into mobile galleries. And construction crews love the easy access from both ends. They are available in two sizes:

• 20ft standard double door container
• 40ft High Cube double door container
