Newark customers trust us for one simple reason: we deliver quality, fast. Your container can be on-site in 2 to 5 days, and if you'd prefer to pick it up yourself, that's an option too.

What’s best? Whatever your project demands, we most likely have a container to match, ranging from standard to
specialty containers. Here’s what type of shipping containers are available for residents in Newark in more detail:

Standard shipping containers

Let’s start with standard shipping containers. Standard shipping containers are a reliable choice for both businesses and homeowners. They can withstand any kind of weather, and you can use them however and wherever your imagination takes you. Currently, we offer three types of shipping containers:

• 20ft Standard – New (One-Trip): Built from CORTEN steel with marine-grade floors and ready to go with lockbox-ready doors and
  forklift pockets. Comes with a 10-year warranty.
• 20ft Standard (Used) : Wind & Water Tight (WWT), ISO-certified, and budget-friendly. Great for general storage or conversion
  projects. Comes with a 1-year warranty.
• 40ft Standard (Used): Twice the space. Comes with a 1-year warranty.
• 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.

Note: Our used containers are inspected thoroughly to ensure they’re tightly sealed, structurally sound, and ready to last. Many have seen minimal use and offer unbeatable value. So the question of whether you should get a new or used shipping container completely depends on your project. If a perfect appearance and maximum durability are your top priorities, a new container is the way to go, as used ones won't offer the same pristine look. Regardless, keep in mind that used containers still provide plenty of benefits - and yes, one of them is being a more affordable solution.

Specialty containers

Sometimes a standard container just isn’t enough. That’s where our specialty containers come in. If you need more height, easy access from the side, or doors at both ends for easy loading and unloading, specialty containers are the answer to your needs. They offer different special features, so let’s take a look at the options we offer to find the right fit for your project.

High cube containers (20ft)

Imagine your regular shipping container just got a little taller; that’s essentially what a high cube container is! These containers are one whole foot taller than the standard 20ft ones, giving you extra headroom inside.

Why does that matter? Well, if you’re storing tall equipment, stacking lots of boxes, or even turning a container into a cool tiny home, just imagine how much of a difference that extra foot can make. In our Newark location we offer specialized 20th high cube containers in new conditions only.

Open side containers

Need full access to the side of your container? Meet our open side shipping containers. These units are ideal for retail, storage with easy access, or event use. For Newark buyers they are available in 20ft and 40ft High Cube options. Features include full-length side doors, weather- and rodent-resistant design, and reinforced flooring.

Double door (tunnel) containers

With doors on both ends, these are perfect for easy loading/unloading, creating multi-room spaces, or drive-through storage. In Newark we have in stock 20ft Double Door and even a special 40ft High Cube Double Door one.

Shipping Container Guidelines in Newark

While shipping containers can be legally used for many purposes in Newark, compliance with local building codes and zoning regulations is essential. We understand that finding these local rules can be complex, so we've gathered the key information you'll need.

Let's start with placement: containers typically need to be in specific spots marked on your approved site plan. Good news though, you can skip the site plan approval if your container is only on your property for four months or less in a
calendar year. Just remember, even for these temporary uses, you'll still need to secure a permit and ensure the container respects all setback requirements.

Prohibited Uses:

• Shipping containers cannot be placed or stored in residential or
  conservation zoning districts.
• Containers cannot be used as residences or for home occupations.
• Containers must not block fire hydrants, fire lanes, or parking
  spots.

Stacking Containers:

• Stacking containers is only allowed in industrial zones, and you need a use
  permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
• Containers must be stacked in "blocks" – meaning you need at least as many
  containers side-by-side as you stack upwards.
• All stacked containers must follow the New Jersey Fire Prevention Code.

Annual License Fees

• 1–500 containers: $1,000 per year
• 501–1,000 containers: $2,000 per year
• Over 1,000 containers: $2,000 for the first 1,000, plus $500 for each
  additional container above 1,000

Keep in mind, recent ordinance changes have increased fees significantly, charging based on the potential maximum number of containers that could be stacked on a property, not just those present, and fees apply from the moment containers are placed.
