Specialty Containers Available

Tampa projects often require something more than just the standard containers - maybe you need extra height for equipment, better access for inventory, or more room to get creative. That’s why we offer specialty containers designed to give you added space, flexibility, and functionality tailored to the way Tampa works. Let’s discuss our high cube and open side options.

High cube containers

If you need more vertical space, High Cube containers are a foot taller than regular containers, making them ideal for larger items, custom projects, or even container homes that require additional headroom.

• 20ft High Cube: Crafted from durable, weather-resistant steel, these containers are lockable and forklift-compatible, making them perfect for compact office setups or equipment storage.
• 40ft High Cube Double Door: Unlike standard containers that have a set of cargo doors only at one end, a double door container has full-size cargo doors at both ends of the container, plus this one features extra height. That's how you know that these containers can fit just about any project.

Open side shipping containers

When you need easy side access, Open side containers are the ideal choice. They simplify the loading and unloading of larger or bulkier items and are perfect for events, retail, or mobile setups.

• 20ft Open Side: Secure, ISO-certified, and pest-resistant, great for event storage, markets, or pop-up businesses.
• 40ft High Cube Open Side: With a full side opening and spacious interior, these containers are perfect for showrooms, wide-format storage, or mobile shops.

Important Note: All of the specialty Containers come in new condition, with the only exception being the 40ft high cube shipping container, which can be purchased in both new and used conditions.

Condition of Containers – New or Used?

When considering which container to buy, size isn't the only factor that matters; condition is another key point. Shipping containers in Miami can be found in two conditions: new and used.

New containers

For those seeking a pristine, high-quality option, our new containers are the way to go. They are ideal for long-term use and provide the best durability, so your investment will last for a long time. They also come with a 10-year warranty.

Used Containers

If you're looking to stay on budget without compromising on quality, our used containers are a great choice. They're still in excellent condition, offering strong performance and durability, and come with a 1-year warranty for peace of mind. You get reliable value without sacrificing what matters most. The only difference is in looks, and if your project doesn’t require a pristine appearance, you’re good to go.

How Are People Using Shipping Containers in Tampa, Florida?

As Florida's largest port, Port Tampa Bay utilizes shipping containers extensively for cargo transport, supporting the region's economy and facilitating international trade. But shipping containers have found nontraditional uses, too.

• Residential Innovations: Residents of Tampa, Florida, are transforming shipping containers into modern homes. Why? There are several reasons. First of all, these structures offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional housing, with lower construction costs and faster building times. On top of that, shipping containers are durable and weather-resistant, meaning they can be converted into fully functional houses without any risks.
• Commercial and Recreational Spaces- Shipping containers are also being used as business spaces, from mobile offices to pop-up cafes and retail shops. They offer a budget-friendly and unique solution for entrepreneurs looking to make an impact in Tampa's bustling business scene. A prime example of commercial use is Sparkman Wharf, a waterfront destination in downtown Tampa. This venue incorporates 18 shipping containers to house restaurants, bars, and retail shops, creating a vibrant community hub.
• Containers as Storage Solutions- With Tampa's unpredictable weather, secure storage is essential. Shipping containers provide a perfect, weatherproof solution for storing tools, equipment, inventory, or personal items, making them a great solution for storage shortages in residential or construction projects.
