Shipping Container Suppliers in North Dakota

The Container Pros keeps stock on two lots, one at Ashley down near the South Dakota line and one at Menoken just east of Bismarck. No other container seller in North Dakota runs two yards, and it matters here. A box from Menoken reaches Steele and the Bismarck area on a short run. A box from Ashley covers McIntosh County and the towns around it without a four hour haul. Sizes run from 10ft units up to 53ft high cubes, and the grades are spelled out before you call. One-trip, cargo-worthy and wind-and-water-tight each mean something specific on their site. They also build to order with doors, windows and shelf brackets.

Buy a container from Dakota Mobile Storage and delivery inside Bismarck, Mandan or Lincoln city limits costs you nothing. That matters in a state where the haul adds up fast on any container. The trucks are theirs, so the roll-off drop is done by drivers who place boxes every week. Outside the tri-city area they will run statewide. Stock covers 16ft, 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube, in one-trip and used cargo-worthy grades. The business goes back forty years under the Sullivan name before Cody Symanowski took it on, so the yard has been placing steel around Bismarck a long time.

Coulee Services, LLC tells you exactly what you are buying before you get to the yard. One-trip, cargo-worthy, wind-and-water-tight and side-door units are each described on the site, with what they are good for. Plenty of container sellers just write used and leave you to guess. Sizes run 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube. The Carpio lot sits about twenty five miles northwest of Minot, so farms and crews across the top of the state get a short haul instead of a run from Bismarck or Williston. They weld and fabricate in house too, which means a door cut or a shelf welded in does not go out to a third shop.

Hauck Sales & Services, LLC puts a price on the page, which most yards in this state will not do. A used 20ft sits at $2,800 and a mobile office at $14,000, with a cart button next to them. Nine container items are listed at any time, covering 20ft and 40ft in new and used, plus double-door, full-open-side, office and bathroom builds. All of that gets cut and welded on the Dickinson property, next to the bale feeders and windbreak panels the shop is better known for around town. If you want to price a box on a Sunday night without leaving your phone number, this is the yard.

Northwest Mobile Inc. leaves the Williston yard open around the clock, so a Bakken crew finishing a night shift can go look at steel at two in the morning. Sizes on the lot run 7ft, 20ft, 40ft, 45ft and 53ft. Those long 45s and 53s suit rig sites and ranches that need one long run of dry storage rather than two short boxes. The yard has been selling and leasing containers out of Williston since 2006, through the boom and the bust after it. They also repair units and move them between sites, which helps when a job wraps and the box has to follow the crew.

Schmidt Repair Inc. has been working out of the same Dickinson shop on Highway 10 since 1978. Diesel engines and generators are the old trade, and containers came later, but the stock is real and it moves. Listings for 20ft and 40ft units, standard height and high cube, new and used, turn over on the local classifieds through the winter. Delivery is offered and units can be rented as well as bought. You will not find a grade breakdown or a price on the site, so plan on a phone call and on asking hard questions about condition before you commit. For a straightforward box in southwest North Dakota, the yard is close and it is open.
