Choose the Right Shipping Container

Not all containers are the same — size, condition, and type all affect what works best for your situation. Below is a breakdown of every container type we sell. If you're not sure what you need, call us or request a quote and we'll point you in the right direction.

New Shipping Containers

Best for: Long-term storage, visible locations, conversion projects

A one-trip container has crossed the ocean exactly once — arriving in Canada in near-perfect condition with minimal rust, tight door seals, and a clean interior. If you're storing items that are sensitive to moisture (furniture, documents, electronics), converting a container into a home office or living space, or simply want something that looks great on your property for years to come, a new container is the right investment. These also come with the best weather resistance right out of the box.

 
 

Used Shipping Containers

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, equipment storage, job sites

Our used containers offer a cost-effective way to get serious, lockable steel storage without paying a premium for cosmetics. Every used container we sell goes through a thorough inspection and repair process — we address rust, worn seals, damaged doors, and structural issues before anything leaves our yard. They're structurally sound and weatherproof, and a popular choice for tradies, farmers, and homeowners who need reliable storage without breaking the bank.

 
 
 

20 ft Shipping Containers

Most popular size

The 20ft shipping container is one of the most popular options. At 20 feet long, these containers offer around 1,170 cubic feet of storage — enough for a full household worth of belongings — while remaining small enough to fit on most driveways and rural lots. They're the go-to choice for residential storage and smaller job site applications.

 

40ft Shipping Containers

Best for: Maximum space

Double the storage capacity of a 20ft unit, the 40ft container is ideal for larger operations — commercial businesses, agricultural operations, and construction sites that need to store a lot in one secure place. We are one of the few suppliers in the Kootenays to keep 40ft containers consistently in stock — in both sale and rental.

 

Flat Rack Containers

Best for: Industrial use, heavy loads, structural projects

Flat racks are heavy-duty steel platforms built for loads that standard containers can't accommodate — oversized machinery, vehicles, lumber, and even structural construction. We've had clients use flat racks as the foundation for a bridge. If you have an unusual load or a creative structural project in mind, flat racks are worth exploring.

 
 

Why Buy From Kootenay Containers?

There are other places to buy a shipping container, including private sellers, national chains, and online marketplaces. Here's what makes us different.

  • 10+ Years in the Kootenays: We're a local, established business — not a one-truck operation or online-only reseller. We stand behind every container we sell.

  • Every Used Container Inspected: We purchase, inspect, and repair every used container we sell. You get a vetted unit, not a mystery box from a shipping yard.

  • #1 Largest Selection in the Region: With two yards — in Castlegar and Cranbrook — we carry more sizes, conditions, and container types than any local competitor.

  • Instant Quote: Many container suppliers take days to call you back. We give you a real price fast — no waiting, no guessing.
