Shipping Container Suppliers in Vermont

Brattleboro Portable Storage splits its for-sale stock into three plain grades, and the site says what each one looks like before you call. Used boxes are wind and water tight with dents and surface rust on them. One-trip units come back clean with eight to twelve vents instead of the two or four an older box carries. That vent count matters in Vermont, where a sealed steel box sweats through mud season. The yard also publishes what every town in five counties can expect, from Bennington across to Bradford. Delivery runs on a rollback and tilt trailers, and the FAQ tells you how much straight run your driveway needs before the truck turns up.

Bolduc Metal Recycling & Storage Containers has worked the same Middlesex ground since 1976, when it opened as an auto salvage yard. Fifty years of scrap and demolition work meant the trucks and the loading gear were already there when containers became a service line. You can buy a 20ft or a 40ft off the lot, or have one ordered in when the size you want is not sitting there. The family answers its own phone, and the two names on the container page are the ones who run it. For a buyer in Barre or Montpelier that is a short haul and a short wait, which keeps the delivery charge down.

Abanaki Inc is one of the few outfits in Vermont that shows a number before you pick up the phone. Rates for 20ft, 40ft and 40ft double-door units sit right on the services page. New and used boxes are both sold, so you can weigh a clean unit against a working one without a quote form in the way. The Pittsford lot sits on Route 7 between Rutland and Brandon, which puts it on the main north to south run through the western side of the state. Two people run the whole thing, so you tend to speak to the person who will schedule your drop. Vermont has a short list of container suppliers, and this yard is on it.

Paquette Inc hauls with its own tractor-trailers out of Middlebury, so the people quoting your delivery are the people making it. The family has been at this since 1983 and is now into a third generation. Alongside 20ft and 40ft containers it sells storage trailers from 28ft up to 53ft, so a buyer who needs length more than a sealed steel box has another way to go. Deliveries reach across Vermont and on into New Hampshire and northern New York. There is no stock list online and no posted grades, so expect to call and describe the site, the access and the size you are after. That suits farm and contractor buyers who would rather talk it through anyway.

United Rentals - Storage Containers and Mobile Offices carries 10ft units alongside the usual 20ft and 40ft sizes, plus 40ft high cubes and ground-level offices. The 10ft is worth knowing about, because plenty of Vermont house lots and village yards will not take a 20ft box with room to swing the doors. Used units are sold through the national catalogue, though the price is not posted and stock rotates between depots. The South Royalton yard sits off Route 14 near the I-89 interchange, which puts White River Junction and Randolph inside a short run. Orders go through a branch rather than an owner, so put your site details in writing.
