A shipping container is a large steel box manufactured and used for international shipping. They can transport everything from shoes to food, medicine to toys. Around 90-95% of the world's goods are transported by shipping containers. They're also popular for storage, housing projects, offices, and creative builds.
Boxhub provides new and used shipping containers for sale in over 40 markets across the United States and Canada. Simply enter your zip code on our website to see available containers and pricing for your area.
Not at all! Boxhub sells shipping containers for storage, housing, offices, workshops, garages, and countless other uses. While they're called 'shipping' containers, most of our customers use them for on-site storage and creative projects.
There are two ways to buy: online or through our sales team. Online purchasing is simple — just like shopping on Amazon. Visit our shop, select your container size and condition, enter your delivery address, and checkout. Alternatively, call or chat with our sales team for personalized assistance.
Our primary business is standard dry storage containers in 20ft and 40ft sizes, available in both standard and high-cube heights. We offer new (one-trip) containers in excellent condition and used (wind & watertight) containers that are fully functional at a lower price point.
An empty 20ft container weighs around 5,000 lbs and has a loading capacity of 62,000 lbs. An empty 40ft container weighs around 8,200 lbs and has a loading capacity of 63,000 lbs.
A 20ft container offers about 1,170 cubic feet of space — enough for a small apartment's worth of furniture, a vehicle, or significant inventory. A 40ft container doubles that to about 2,390 cubic feet. Common uses include storing vehicles, equipment, furniture, inventory, and building materials.
Shipping containers are made from COR-TEN steel (weathering steel) — a highly durable material resistant to corrosion, designed to endure decades navigating harsh sea environments. They feature corrugated steel sides, steel framing, and 1 1/8" thick marine plywood floors.
Yes! Bulk discounts are available for all orders of 5 or more shipping containers. We also occasionally run seasonal sales and market-specific offers. Contact our sales team to learn about current deals in your area.
