20ft Shipping Container – New
Made from sturdy CORTEN steel, these one-trip containers are designed to withstand Florida’s humidity. With marine-grade floors, forklift pockets, and a 10-year warranty, we can assure you they’re built for durability.
20ft Shipping Container – Used
If you're looking for a more budget-friendly storage solution, our used 20ft containers are the perfect fit. These containers have a lot to offer too, even though they are used- over 1,160 cubic feet of space, a 1-year warranty, wind, and water-tightness. And of course, they are ISO certified.
40ft Shipping Container – Used
For larger yet affordable storage needs, we offer 40ft used standard containers. These units are Wind & Water Tight (WWT), ISO certified, and come with a 1-year warranty.
Need more headroom? High Cube containers are 9'6" tall, offering an extra foot of vertical space. With Wind & Water Tight (WWT) or Cargo Worthy certification, ISO Certified, and a 1-year warranty.
With over 2,700 cubic feet of space, these are ideal for container homes, industrial storage, or urban builds. Our New units come with a 10-year warranty and are lockbox-ready for added security.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Delivering your shipping container shouldn’t be complicated, and with Viva Containers, it never is. We offer reliable delivery to any location in Florida within 2–5 business days using our dedicated tilt-bed trucks. You don’t need any special equipment; just provide an accessible placement area, and we’ll handle the rest.
To ensure a smooth and efficient drop-off in mobile delivery, set aside a flat, level area with enough space for our truck to maneuver and unload. Check for overhead obstacles like branches, wires, or structures that may interfere, as our team will confirm site access before the container is dispatched.
For full preparation details, visit our Buyer’s Guide. After your order is placed, we take care of all the logistics from scheduling to final placement.

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.


We’ve talked about how shipping containers offer endless possibilities for creativity, they're flexible, durable, and adaptable. Now, let’s see a real-world example- Rooms to Go- that proves these aren't just cool ideas, they actually work.
Instead of building new warehouses or showrooms, Rooms To Go transformed containers into mobile retail spaces and flexible storage units. These container-based structures could be easily transported to different locations, set up at outdoor events, or used to stage furniture closer to customer hubs without investing in permanent buildings.
What makes this use so powerful is how it blends function and marketing: the containers act not only as practical storage but also as branded, eye-catching extensions of their stores. Some were customized with glass doors and modern interiors to mimic the look of their showrooms. This mobile setup allowed Rooms To Go to test out new markets and new locations and stay flexible in a competitive retail space.
This example clearly shows that shipping containers aren't just a trend or theoretical concept, they’re a practical tool for innovation. With a little imagination, they can become something truly remarkable.
If you're considering using a shipping container in Tampa, Florida, it's important to know the zoning rules and requirements. Here's a breakdown of the key points:
1. Permits Based on Duration
2. Zoning and Placement Restrictions
3. Building Code Compliance
4. Additional Considerations
5. Permit Application Process
In summary, while Tampa allows shipping containers, you'll need to follow specific rules depending on how long the container stays and where it's placed. Always check with the city and your HOA for the latest regulations. For more information, please visit: Shipping
