Container storage, done right.
No hard sell.
From expensive farm equipment to business inventory to specialized tools — containers protect what matters, if you choose the right size, condition, and delivery method. We'll walk you through five decisions so you can buy with confidence.
Most sellers jump
straight to the sale.
A container is a 25-year investment. The difference between the right one and the wrong one is years of protection — or a rusted-out headache. Before you sign anything, you deserve to understand what you're buying.
Five decisions
stand between you
and the right container.
Work through them in order. Each guide answers the question buyers like you — Tom, Sarah, Mike — actually ask. No sales pitch, no jargon.
What size do you need?
A 20-foot holds one tractor. A 40-foot is your full arsenal. 40 High-Cube if you've got a tall implement.
→ Tom · 40-ft primary Open size guide § 02 · ConditionNew or used?
New guarantees protection. Used saves money. Both work — it just depends on what you're protecting and for how long.
→ The Sweet Spot: cargo-worthy Open condition guide § 03 · DeliveryWill it even get here?
Narrow lanes, soft ground, low branches — we plan for it. Tilt-bed for firm ground, crane-set for tight or rural access.
→ Mike · rural access Open delivery guide § 04 · CostWhat will it really cost?
All-in. Container, delivery, setup. No surprise fees. Fair regional pricing — no premium just because you're rural.
→ Sarah · multi-unit Open pricing guide § 05 · PermitsDo I need a permit?
Usually no. Most farm storage is zoned-exempt in OH, IN, and KY. Commercial use or HOAs — we'll tell you straight.

If any of this
sounds like you —
we've done it before.
We've placed 400+ containers across the region. Most of our customers are one of three people. Here's what they bought and why.
| Buyer | They said | We recommended | Why it fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| TomEquipment farmer | "Won't it rust? Will it protect my equipment long-term?" | 40-ft · High Cube | The extra foot of High Cube headroom clears a tall John Deere cab and a grain drill; cargo-worthy steel handles decades of weather. Sited on crushed stone, leveled with railroad ties. |
| SarahDiversified business owner | "Can we make this look professional? Scale to multiple units?" | 2 × 40-ft · mixed | A new (one-trip) unit on request for customer-facing inventory, one cargo-worthy for back-stock. Painted to match the barn. |
| MikeHobby / rural | "Can you deliver to my property? Is used okay?" | 20-ft · cargo-worthy | Crane-set over a fenceline at the end of a gravel lane. Cargo-worthy for a 2/3 cost savings — horse trailer and tools stay dry. |

The questions everyone asks
before they send a deposit.
Won't it rust out on me?
Corten steel, painted inside and out. On crushed-stone pads with airflow underneath, 25 years is realistic. We'll show you how to prep the site.
Can you get it back my driveway?
Usually yes. Tilt-bed needs ~100 ft of approach and firm ground. For tight or soft sites, crane-set works — no lane damage. We'll scout before we schedule.
Do I need a permit?
For farm storage in OH, IN, and KY: almost never. Commercial use or an HOA changes things — we'll flag it on the call, not after you pay.
Is used actually safe for my equipment?
Cargo-worthy (used) is our default — structurally certified and weather-tight, with surface rust that's purely cosmetic. For anything irreplaceable, a new (one-trip) unit is available on request.
How quickly can you get it here?
Most deliveries land within 1–2 weeks of deposit. Depot inventory is stacked and sequenced — units aren't staged for quick pull — and drivers book out several weeks in advance, so exact timing depends on current availability. We'll give you an honest window before you commit, and you'll hear from us at every step until it's on your property.
