Shipping Container Suppliers in Michigan

Constable Containers puts its prices right on the website, and you can put a box in a cart and check out. Most container yards in Michigan make you fill in a form and wait for a callback. The Flint lot runs about three and a half acres. Stock covers 20ft and 40ft units in one-trip, cargo-worthy, wind-and-water-tight and IICL multi-trip grades, each priced on its own. Delivery is a flat $500 out to 90 miles and calculated after that, to roughly 200. They will tell you how much clear ground you need before the truck comes. They do not do modifications, so a plain box is what you get.

Portable Storage By TKM keeps a buyer's guide on its site that spells out what each grade actually means. New one-trip, cargo-worthy, wind-and-water-tight and as-is all get a plain description, including the honest bit about used boxes carrying shipping logos, surface rust and dents. That matters because grade is where container buyers get burned. The Byron Center yard has been selling containers since 1995 and holds an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. Delivery runs on their own tilt-bed truck, charged by the hour from the yard, and they publish how much straight run you need. Stock is 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube. There is no modification shop here.

MAC'S Container Service LLC delivers out of one Lansing yard to more than 130 named towns, from Grand Rapids in the west across to Grand Blanc and down to Jackson. That is a real advantage if you are buying in a small mid-Michigan town most yards treat as a long trip. The family has been at this since 2000 and belongs to the National Portable Storage Association. It is women-owned and veteran-owned. Next-day delivery is offered on stock units in 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube. One thing to ask about on the phone is condition. The site sells boxes as new or used without breaking out cargo-worthy or wind-and-water-tight.

Michigan Shipping Containers runs its own trucks rather than booking a hauler, with three power units and four drivers registered to the Lapeer yard. Delivery is free inside the advertised radius, which is worth real money on a box. Prices sit on the website and you can buy straight through the cart. Sizes are 20ft standard, 20ft high cube and 40ft high cube, sold as one-trip or used. They also build out a finished container office if you need power, lighting and heat in the unit. The delivery radius is stated two different ways on the site, so pin it down for your address before you order. This is a young outfit, so ask how long they have been hauling.

Your Site Storage sells into the kind of northern Michigan property most yards turn down. Hunting camps, cabins down a two-track and farm ground with no good turnaround all get quoted here, and the fleet is picked for it. If a semi cannot get in, they bring something that can. They ask for photos or video of the drop spot first and plan the approach around it. Grades come with real ages attached, so one-trip means under a year, cargo-worthy runs six to eight years and wind-and-water-tight is nearer fifteen. The Clare lot is open to walk any time, and you pay once the box is on the ground and you are happy with it.

Fan-C Rental Company, LLC will cut into a box for you. Windows, man doors, roll-up doors, shelving, insulation, paint, electric and heating all get fitted at the Mount Pleasant yard, and they will build an eight by eight office into the front end of a container. Refrigerated units are kept in stock too, which is not common at a yard this size. You can buy outright, lease or work a rent-to-own deal. Their own truck does the hauling and the yard is open around the clock if you want to look before you commit. Prices are posted at the office rather than online, so you will need to call or drive out.

American Mobile Office & Container has been a family business in Warren since 1973, which is more than fifty years of putting steel on job sites around Detroit. Containers sit alongside the office trailer side of the business, and both new single-trip and wind-and-watertight boxes are sold in 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube. The service list runs across Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties and out to Port Huron, Flint and Jackson. Two things they are direct about are worth knowing. There are no fuel or environmental surcharges bolted onto the invoice, and the price you are quoted is the out-the-door number. The website is dated, so phone them for what is actually on the lot.

Portable Storage Solutions, LLC stocks five sizes, running from a 10ft box up to a 40ft high cube. The 10ft is worth knowing about, because northern Michigan yards rarely keep one and it fits a tight lot in a resort town where a 20ft will not turn. Mobile offices come in three lengths as well. The Traverse City site is a four-acre former bottling plant, and the trucks are theirs. Delivery reaches Petoskey, Gaylord, Alpena and up to Sault Ste Marie, which is a long haul for anyone sending a box north. Purchase is offered with financing. The site leans toward rental though, and it does not spell out container grades anywhere.

U.P. Steel Center is the only yard holding shipping containers anywhere in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Everything else north of the bridge gets trucked up from downstate or in from Wisconsin, and that freight lands on the buyer. Prices here are printed on the page, delivered, for one-trip, cargo-worthy and wind-and-water-tight boxes. The delivered figure covers fifteen miles from the Gwinn yard, with mileage added past that. Stock is narrow, just 20ft standard and 40ft high cube, and there is no modification work. The price sheet has not been touched in a while, so confirm the number before you commit. For a Marquette County buyer, the drive is minutes rather than the day it takes from downstate.
