Shipping containers for sale in Chicago

BUYING SHIPPING CONTAINERS IN CHICAGO

On the shores of Lake Michigan lies Chicago, the most populated city in the midwest. Its thriving economy has stakes in a range of industries including transportation, technology and finance, and the region is both an aircraft and railroad hub. As a result, there’s a steady flow of goods in and out of the city, many of which are moved using shipping containers.

Within Chicago shipping containers also find other uses, being transformed into storage facilities, homes and even shipping container gyms and restaurants. This practice has many benefits, but to take advantage of them you need a solid container from a reputable supplier.

TAILORED SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR CONTAINER NEEDS

Our large collection of containers features a variety of heights, lengths, and door layouts, meaning you’ll undoubtedly be able to find the ideal solution for you.

STANDARD CONTAINERS

Standard shipping containers are among the most utilized types of containers in the world. They are 8'6" tall and come in 20 ft and 40 ft lengths, with the width being uniform so they’re stackable. Due to their wide availability, standard containers are one of the better value storage containers found in Chicago.

EXTRA TALL CONTAINERS

If you'd prefer something taller, a high cube shipping container may be the way to go. These containers are one foot taller than a standard container, but are still stackable since the width and available lengths are the same. 

DOOR CONFIGURATIONS

While the majority of shipping containers only have a door on one end, there are other possibilities that might be more fit for purpose for the intended use of your sea cans.

• Double door shipping containers, also called tunnel containers, have doors at each end that make it simpler to load and unload cargo, and allow for the space to be divided with a partition.

• Open side containers have a robust metal door that runs the length of one side and folds open, useful if you want the container to be opened up, perhaps for a gym, restaurant, bar or storefront.
