Shipping Container Suppliers in Kentucky

A1 Portables lists a price next to each container it has for sale. You can see what a 10ft, a 20ft or a 40ft costs before you call. Sold units stay on the page marked sold, so you get a feel for what actually moves off the lot. Every price is quoted from their yard on Enterprise Drive in Lexington, so delivery is a separate line you can ask about up front. They do not use grade words like cargo-worthy. Instead they describe each box in plain English, down to admitting when one is not pretty but still solid. The business has been trading since 1965. They also build out container offices with real floor plans.

Bluegrass Containers spells out what each grade actually means before you buy. A one-trip box is described as like new because it has carried cargo once. A used box is sold as wind and watertight with good seals and working doors, and they tell you upfront it will have surface rust and some dents. That is a fair description of a used container, and plenty of yards skip it. The yard sits in Kevil, out in the Jackson Purchase near the Ohio River, and they run their own trucks rather than booking a hauler. They belong to the National Portable Storage Association. There is a 3D tool on the site for planning doors, vents and paint before the box is built.

Container Pro Kentucky keeps boxes on five lots spread across the state. There is one at Winchester on I-64, one at Banner up US-23 between Prestonsburg and Pikeville, one at Monticello, one at Alexandria south of the river, and one at Sonora down the Dixie Highway. Kentucky is close to 400 miles wide, so which lot your box leaves from decides most of what delivery costs you. They run a tilt trailer and keep 4x4 pickups for the tight ones, which matters on a mountain road in Floyd County. Rent to own is offered alongside a straight purchase. The one gap is grades. The site says new or used and stops there, so ask what condition you are getting.

Cumberland Container Sales & Rentals, Inc runs a fabrication shop at its Somerset yard, not just a sales lot. They cut in windows and man doors, fit roll-up doors, add shelving and built-in furniture, and paint to whatever you want. Container offices and restroom units come out of the same shop. On the sales side they publish an A, B and C grade system, guarantee every box wind and watertight or cargo worthy, and back it with a five year no leak warranty in writing. Boxes start around $2,250. Two more yards sit up US-27 at Lancaster and Richmond, so a Bluegrass buyer is not paying for a haul out of Pulaski County. Their review count is thin, so ask for references.

A.W. Graham Lumber, LLC sells containers the way it sells lumber, off a catalog you can browse by size. There are separate listings for 20ft, 40ft, 40ft high cube and 45ft high cube. Each one is tagged by condition, either a new one-trip or a used wind and water tight box, so you know what you are looking at before you ring the yard. A camo painted one-trip with doors on both ends turns up in there too. The drop fee for a 20ft is sold as its own line item, so delivery is a flat charge rather than a mileage quote. This is a Flemingsburg lumber yard first, trading since 1998, and containers sit alongside the framing timber and the farm gates.

Moon Trailer Leasing sells into Louisville job sites more than anywhere else. They sit on the Building Industry Association roster in Louisville, and the rest of what they run tells the same story, with dumpsters, portable restrooms and trailers going to the same builders. If you are already renting a box from them, buying one is a short conversation. There are for sale pages for one-trip units and for used conex boxes, with wind and watertight used stock listed separately. Two yards shorten the run, one on Dubourg Avenue in Louisville and one on Manchester Street in Lexington. Prices are not on the site, so you will be asking for a quote. Reefers are rental only.

MrRTO Storage Containers and Mobile Offices will sell you a container on payments. A 40ft high cube runs $189 a month, and when the term is done the box is yours outright. That is a different door into a purchase than most yards offer, and it matters in a part of the state where a $3,800 cash outlay is a real decision. You can also just buy it outright through the cart on their site. The catch is the range. One-trip 40ft high cubes are the only thing listed, so there is no 20ft and no used grade to choose from. The yard sits at Hickory in Graves County, a short run east of Paducah, and they run two trucks of their own.
