Shipping Container Suppliers in Nebraska

American Trailer & Storage sorts its containers by grade and gives each grade its own page. You can look up a one-trip 20ft, a cargo-worthy box, or a wind-and-water-tight 45ft high cube before you ever pick up the phone. No other yard in Nebraska breaks its stock out that way, and it matters because grade is what you are actually paying for. The company has traded since 1994 and works the Omaha metro out of its North 16th Street lot. Their own crew handles windows, insulation, shelving and full office build-outs, so a modified box never goes out to a third shop. They run 19 trucks and 12 drivers, and most orders ship inside 48 hours.

ABC Mobile Storage tells you what delivery costs before you ask. It is $100 flat inside 20 miles of the Norfolk yard, then $4 a loaded mile one way after that. Most Nebraska yards quote haul by phone, so you can price a drop to a farm two counties over yourself. Six trucks and four drivers run under their own authority, and they are licensed to haul intermodal boxes, not just shuffle their own fleet around. Stock runs 10ft through 45ft, including high cubes, double-door units and ground-level offices. Used boxes come in green, red, blue, orange, grey or brown, and new ones in tan or grey. They have been in the National Portable Storage Association since 2003.

Mammoth Containers hauls free anywhere inside 100 miles of its Fremont yard. That circle takes in Omaha, Lincoln, Columbus and Blair, so the freight is already in the price for most of eastern Nebraska. Sizes run 20ft up to 45ft high cube, and they stock open-side units with doors down the long wall, which helps if you load with a forklift. The yard tells you to come walk it before you buy, and it is worth taking them up on it. They publish no prices and no grades anywhere. Ask what condition you are buying and get the number in writing, because a few buyers have said the figure moved between the first call and the invoice.

Prairie Storage Containers has been selling and hauling boxes out of Alliance since 2001. Twenty-five years is a long run in a trade where small yards come and go. They joined the National Portable Storage Association in 2018. Nothing is priced or graded on their website, so call and ask what is sitting on the lot and what shape it is in. The lot itself is at the Highway 2 and US-385 junction, and three trucks with two drivers set the boxes on your ground. It is the only container yard in the Nebraska Panhandle, so a buyer in Scottsbluff or Chadron who goes elsewhere is paying to truck a box in from Denver or from the far side of the state.

K&J Containers works out of a farm road in Roca, ten miles south of Lincoln, and the trucking side came before the containers. Jesse and Kayla started the business in 2017 after he bought his first semi, and the hauling authority still lists farm supplies and general freight alongside the boxes. That is useful if your drop is a field entrance or a gravel yard rather than a paved lot, and it is the kind of ground their trucks already work. Delivery comes with the purchase, and they will move a box you already own. They also take on custom work. No sizes, grades or prices are published anywhere, so this one is a phone call from the start.
