NORCAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS

We offer standard shipping container sizes including 10ft, 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft shipping containers. Whether you need compact storage or maximum space for a larger project, we have the right size to suit your needs.

Yes! We sell both new and used shipping containers. New containers are in pristine condition, while our used containers are available in cargo-worthy, wind and water-tight, and as-is conditions—perfect for budget-friendly storage or modification projects.

Yes! We offer fast delivery across California, Oregon, and Nevada. Our logistics team ensures proper placement and safe offloading at your site. Just let us know if your site has any delivery restrictions like limited space or soft ground.

Delivery usually takes 3–5 business days depending on your location and container availability. For larger orders, please allow extra time. We will discuss this with you at the time of ordering.

Yes. All containers sold as WWT (wind and water-tight) or better are guaranteed to be fully sealed and weather-resistant. We inspect each unit before delivery to ensure your goods stay protected.

Conex boxes (short for “Container Express”) are standard steel shipping containers used for transport and storage. They’re the same as ISO containers, just under a different name—ideal for secure, mobile storage on construction sites, farms, retail spaces, and more.

Shipping containers are incredibly versatile. Customers use them for:

• On-site tool and equipment storage
• Moving or relocation projects
• Pop-up shops or mobile offices
• Tiny homes and container houses
• Long-term warehouse overflow storage
• Secure storage for farming or ranching equipment

We supply containers for all these applications and more!

Yes. Our containers are made of heavy-duty, corrugated steel and come with lockable double doors. You can add a lock box or high-security padlock for added protection. They’re ideal for keeping your belongings safe from theft and harsh weather.

Containers can be placed on gravel, asphalt, concrete, or firm, level ground. For long-term placement, we recommend using railroad ties or concrete blocks to improve ventilation and prevent moisture buildup underneath.

High cube containers are one foot taller than standard containers—8’6″ tall vs. 9’6″ tall. They’re great for customers who need extra vertical space for machinery, shelving, or storage.

Permit requirements vary by city or county. In most cases, temporary storage containers don’t require permits, but it’s always best to check with your local zoning office before placing a container long-term.

While containers are portable, moving them requires specialized equipment like tilt-bed trucks or cranes. We recommend planning placement carefully. If you do need it moved, we can help coordinate relocation for an additional fee.

When maintained properly, new or one-trip containers can last 20+ years. Even used containers in good condition typically last 10–15 years, especially when placed on a proper foundation and protected from extreme elements.

At this time, NorCal Containers focuses on container sales. If you’re looking for a long-term storage solution, purchasing is typically more cost-effective than renting over time.

For ground delivery using a tilt-bed or roll-off truck:

• 20ft containers need about 60 feet of straight, clear space

• 40ft containers need about 100 feet

Make sure the area is level, with no low-hanging wires or soft ground.

Delivery fees depend on your location, container size, and access conditions. We’re based in Northern California and offer some of the most competitive delivery rates in the region. Request a quote for an accurate delivery estimate.

Yes, containers are designed to be stacked—up to 8 high when loaded in shipping yards. If you plan to stack for storage or a build project, we recommend proper corner post alignment and structural reinforcement for safety.

Yes! Buying a used container is an eco-friendly choice—it gives these durable steel boxes a second life and helps reduce waste. Many customers also use them for sustainable builds like tiny homes and eco offices.
