Shipping Container Suppliers in Maryland

K & K International Inc keeps more than 250 containers on its Rosedale lot, so you can drive out and pick the exact box you are paying for. That matters most on used units, where two boxes at the same grade can look very different. The yard sells one-trip, cargo-worthy and wind-and-water-tight stock, and it grades its used units A, B or C so you know how much rust and denting to expect before you commit. A 20,000 square foot shop on site handles doors, windows, insulation and wiring. Delivery runs on K&K trucks with K&K drivers, which is why the reach stretches from Hagerstown to Annapolis without a third party in the middle.

Q3 Shipping Containers LLC photographs every unit on its lot and puts a price next to it. You can see the rust, the door seals and the floor before you call, and sold boxes stay up marked sold, so what you see is what is actually there. Prices ran roughly 2,100 dollars for a used 20ft and 4,600 for a new 40ft high cube at last check. Delivery is published the same plain way. It is a flat 195 dollars inside 30 miles of the Lewistown yard, then 3.25 a mile round trip after that. Q3 grades its stock properly too, from one-trip down through cargo-worthy, wind-and-water-tight and as-is. They do not do modifications, so bring a fabricator if you need cuts.

Picorp, Inc. has been working containers at the Port of Baltimore since 1981, which is 45 years of watching boxes come off ships at the marine terminals. That history shows in what it can put on a truck. Picorp runs three Baltimore yards across roughly 50 acres and stacks stock six high, and it carries 45ft units, flat racks and open tops that most Maryland yards never touch. Its own trucking division does the hauling. The catch is that the company does not publish grades, so ask plainly whether you are buying cargo-worthy or something rougher before you agree a price. Buyers who need volume or an odd size have somewhere to call in Baltimore.

Dale's Cans publishes the numbers you actually need before a truck turns up. A 20ft drop wants 60 to 75 feet of straight clearance, a 40ft wants 100 to 120, and both need 12 feet of width and 14 feet overhead. Most yards make you find that out on the day. Dale's Cans hauls on its own trucks and lists more than 150 Maryland towns it will run to, from Cecilton and Chestertown on the Shore across to Taneytown and Bethesda. Stock is one-trip and used, and the used boxes are described as cargo-worthy or wind-and-water-tight rather than just used. Prices are not on the site, so plan on a call.

WillScot runs five yards inside Maryland, spread from Dundalk and the BW corridor down to Waldorf and out to East New Market on the Shore. For a buyer in Charles County or Dorchester County that means a box comes from an hour away instead of four hours out of the port, and freight is a real line on a container invoice. The trade off is less to choose from. WillScot sells 20ft and 40ft steel boxes plus cold storage units and ground level offices, and the sale stock comes out of its own used rental fleet rather than fresh port arrivals. No grades are published, so condition varies unit to unit and the photos matter. Schools, contractors and county agencies make up much of the work.

Container Depot Industries Inc is a cutting and welding shop first and a box seller second. Its build gallery runs to about 35 finished jobs, so you can look at real doors, windows and paint work before you hand over a drawing. The Dundalk yard has been open since 1983 and posts loading hours separate from office hours, which tells you there is a lift and a crew working the ground rather than a phone and a broker. One-trip 20ft units have been advertised at 5,200 dollars delivered inside 75 miles of Baltimore. The website is thin and does not list sizes or stock, so everything past a 20ft one-trip starts with a phone call. It is worth comparing container suppliers before you settle on a build.
