Common Uses for Shipping Containers

Not sure how a storage container could work for you?

You might be surprised at how versatile they are. Whether you’re running a farm, managing a job site, running a small business, or just need more space at home, these containers offer sturdy, weather-tight storage that can adapt to just about anything.

Here are some of the most popular (and creative!) ways folks around Missouri are putting their containers to use:

  • Construction and Farm Equipment Storage

    Keep your valuable tools, machinery, and supplies safe from weather and theft. Containers make excellent on-site storage units for job sites or farms — ready when you need them and easy to relocate when the work moves.

  • Business Inventory or Job-Site Supplies

    Small businesses love containers for extra storage space without the overhead of a warehouse. Contractors, landscapers, and event companies use them to store materials, seasonal inventory, and equipment right where they’re needed most.Bullet List 1

  • Household or Farm Overflow

    Running out of garage space? A shipping container can be the perfect solution for extra household goods, seasonal decorations, or even large items like furniture, ATVs, or lawn equipment. Farm families also use them for feed, fencing materials, and spare parts.

  • Workshops and Hobby Spaces

    Turn a container into your personal creative zone — woodworking, metalwork, crafting, or mechanic projects. With a few simple modifications like insulation, power, and shelving, you can have a workshop ready to roll in no time.

  • Tiny Homes, Offices, or Hunting Cabins

    With a bit of imagination (and elbow grease), containers can become unique living or working spaces. People are transforming them into tiny homes, mobile offices, art studios, or hunting cabins — durable, weatherproof, and built to last.

  • Emergency or Farm Supply Storage

    Ideal for storing emergency equipment, feed, or hay in a dry, secure space. Many rural property owners use containers to keep essentials protected from the elements all year long.

Benefits of Owning a Container vs. Renting a Storage Unit

1. One-Time Investment, Long-Term Savings

Renting a storage unit can cost hundreds or even thousands each year — and that money’s gone forever. When you own a container, it’s a one-time purchase that provides permanent, secure storage for years to come.

2. Convenience at Your Fingertips

Your container is on your property, not miles away in someone else’s facility. No more running across town every time you need something. Just step outside and access your items whenever you want — day or night.

3. Security and Peace of Mind

Our containers are made of heavy-duty steel, designed to protect against weather, pests, and unwanted visitors. You can add your own locks, cameras, or even fencing to increase security — something you can’t do at most rental units.

4. Versatility and Mobility

Need to move? Take your storage with you! A container can easily be relocated to a new property or job site. Try doing that with a rented storage unit!

5. Customization Options

Unlike a rented unit, your container can be modified however you like — shelves, lighting, insulation, doors, windows, paint, even plumbing or power. Make it fit your exact needs and style.

6. Increases Property Value

A clean, well-placed container adds functional value to your property. Whether for resale, rental, or practical use, it’s an asset — not an expense.
