Shipping Container Suppliers in Florida

American Trailer Rentals puts its prices on the page, sorted by condition, so you can see what a gently used 20ft costs before you call. Most Florida yards will not do that. The Lakeland yard has been trading since 1987 and stocks 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube boxes, plus office units. Delivery runs on their own trucks with their own drivers, which matters when a box has to thread onto a tight job site. They quote anywhere in Florida, and the price moves with how far you sit from Lakeland. Contractors and small businesses along the I-4 corridor make up most of the work, and the yard has been an NPSA member since 2004.

Rice Intermodal runs yards in Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville, so wherever you are in Florida there is usually one within a few hours of you. That shortens the haul, and the haul is what makes a container expensive. Delivery comes off their own tilt beds, where the driver slides the box onto the ground rather than craning it. The family has been in the business since 1988, mostly moving boxes for carriers and freight companies around the ports. They sell 10ft, 20ft and 40ft units and will cut in offices, windows, shelving, lighting and side doors before it leaves. Marine and construction work makes up a lot of it.

SEA CAN keeps more than 200 containers on its Orange Avenue lot in Orlando, which means you can go and walk the rows before you buy. Each unit is sold as one trip, cargo worthy or wind and water tight, and the site explains what each of those actually means. Plenty of Florida yards just write used and leave you guessing. Stock covers 20ft and 40ft standard and high cube, plus double door and open side boxes. They do their own modification work, so a shop or a site office can be cut and fitted before delivery. Restaurants, farms, hotels and government projects all buy here.

RAVA Group sells cold storage the way most yards sell dry boxes. The Medley yard carries standard reefers, dual temp units, blast freezers and super freezers that hold minus 80, along with the gensets and power packs to run them off grid. Growers, food wholesalers and pharmacy operations are the main buyers, and the company is registered with a CAGE code for federal work. It is also an authorised Thermo King dealer, which matters when a unit needs parts fast in August. Dry containers run from 10ft to 45ft high cube. Someone answers the emergency line at any hour, and in a state where a warm reefer means spoiled product overnight, that is worth something.

E & S Equipment Sales works out of two Florida yards, one at Fort White on US 27 and one at Port St. Lucie, which puts stock on both sides of the peninsula. Boxes go out on their own trucks, so the delivery date is theirs to keep rather than a hauler's. The trade runs wider than dry boxes. They handle reefers, flat racks, chassis, gensets and reach stackers, which is the sort of kit a port or a packing house needs. Rent to own is on the table if the whole price up front is a stretch. The company has been trading since 2010, and buyers reach from Gainesville down the Treasure Coast.

SoFlo Containers does its cutting and welding on site, so a box can leave the Southwest Ranches yard already fitted with a roll up door, lighting, framing and power. That is the difference between buying a steel shell and buying something you can use on Monday. The lot handles over 500 containers a month, and units are CSC certified there before they go out. Sizes on offer are 20ft and 40ft, new or used. A lot of the work is residential and retail build outs across Broward and Miami-Dade, and the crew has done more than 500 of them. Buyers who just want a plain storage box get the same delivery and drop.

Miami Container carries a wider spread of box types than most South Florida yards. Alongside standard and high cube units you will find reefers, flat racks, open tops, double door high cubes and 20ft office containers, in sizes from 10ft up to 45ft. The depot sits out in the Redland and you can view stock by appointment. Because the company works ports as well as job sites, it will arrange placement at a US port or ship a unit on to the Caribbean or South America. Delivery to your site runs through trucking partners rather than their own fleet. Trading since 2013 out of a Weston office, with buyers ranging from exporters to cold storage users.

A American Container has been selling boxes off Adamo Drive in Tampa since 1998, which is longer than most of the yards now trading in Florida. Long enough to have joined the NPSA back in 2004 and to have kept it up since. The range is narrow on purpose. They deal in 20ft and 40ft units, container offices, and conversion work including storm shelters, which is a sensible thing to own in this state. The company is certified as a women owned business, so it clears the box on public and institutional purchase orders. Buyers come from construction, commercial storage, and the marine trade working out of Port Tampa Bay.

South Florida Intermodal Equipment spells out its grades in plain terms. A one trip box has been loaded once for the manufacturer, cargo worthy passes for ocean freight, and wind and water tight is dry inside but will not sail. Knowing which one you are paying for stops the usual argument on delivery day. The Mulberry yard quotes anywhere inside 250 miles, which reaches Naples, Fort Myers, Vero Beach and most of the peninsula. They will fit vents, man doors, roll up doors, windows and full office wiring before the box leaves. Pricing is backed by a promise to beat any written quote, and buying and renting sit on separate pages.

My Shipping Containers moves most orders out of the Hialeah yard within 48 hours, on tilt beds or flatbeds depending on how tight the drop is. Speed like that is worth knowing about in June, when everyone in South Florida decides at once that they need somewhere dry to put things. Every unit is graded and CSC plated before it goes, sold as new, one trip or certified used. There is a modification shop on site for doors, windows and fit outs, and reefers run from minus 25 to plus 75 Fahrenheit. Sizes are 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube. Local delivery covers Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, with longer hauls quoted on request.

YourSpace Containers builds out boxes for work that has nowhere else to go. Offices, restrooms, classrooms and sleeping quarters all come out of the Panama City yard, which is the kind of thing the Panhandle has needed since the storms. Plain 20ft and 40ft units are there too, sold as one trip or as used wind and water tight boxes with honest cosmetic wear. Delivery is free inside 50 miles, so Panama City Beach, Lynn Haven and Callaway pay nothing to have a container dropped. The Panhandle has far fewer yards than the peninsula, so buying close to home takes real money off the freight bill.

Florida Container LLC prints its prices right on the homepage. A used 20ft runs $1,775 and a new one $2,900, with 40ft units at $2,200 used and $3,500 new. You also pay on delivery rather than up front, which takes the risk out of buying from a yard you have never visited. Orders can go out same day or next day. The Fellsmere site is a fabrication shop as well as a yard, so container homes and site offices get built there. Sitting in Indian River County puts them roughly halfway between Miami and Jacksonville, and they quote deliveries across the state from that middle ground.
