Shipping Container Suppliers in Virginia

Mountain Man Containers is the only yard in Virginia that puts a price on every container it sells. Open the site and a used cargo-worthy 20ft, a new 40ft high cube and a side-door unit all show a number and an add-to-cart button. There is a page explaining what one-trip and cargo-worthy actually mean, so you know what you are buying before you call. Delivery runs on their own tilt-bed trucks, free inside 25 miles of the Brightwood yard and priced by the mile after that. They have only traded since 2022, so there is no long history to lean on. What there is instead is a price you can check at midnight without waiting on a quote.

Container Locals runs its modification work out of the King William yard, and the photo gallery is the proof. Roll-up doors, garage doors, sliding glass, man doors, windows, vents, shelving and interior flooring all turn up on units they have actually built. That matters if you are buying a box to convert into a shop or a farm store rather than just lock and leave. Every used container carries a five year leak warranty and every new one carries ten, which is a longer promise than most Virginia yards will put in writing. Their own CDL drivers bring the unit out and level it on your ground. They have been at it since 2012 and the review trail from King William and the surrounding counties is long and steady.

Keens Storage Trailers and Containers has been working the Shenandoah Valley since 1982 and is now on its third generation of the family. Bob Keens started it, and the yard at Mount Crawford still sits between Harrisonburg and Staunton where the farm and construction work is. They carry Virginia's SWaM certification, which puts them in front of school divisions, counties and state agencies that have to buy from certified small businesses. Modifications are done in house, and the list runs to insulation, paneling, heating and air conditioning, so an office build never gets farmed out. Buy a container and delivery inside 25 miles of Mount Crawford costs nothing. They only sell into Virginia and West Virginia, so if you are east of Richmond this is not your yard.

Sonny Merryman has sold buses to Virginia school divisions for decades, and the container yard at Evington sits on the same lot. That connection is the reason to call them. If you are a school, a county garage or a transit agency already set up as a vendor with them, buying a storage container is a purchase order rather than a new supplier approval. The company started in 1967 selling buses, trailers and containers together, so the boxes were never a sideline bolted on later. They deliver and pick up with their own equipment across Central Virginia. Stock runs to 20ft and 40ft only, and they will fit roll-up doors, vents, windows, insulation and shelving before it leaves. Grades are described as new or pre-owned, so ask what condition you are getting.

Hampton Roads Container Sales and Leasing tells you on its own site how much room a tilt-bed needs before it turns up, which is 80 feet of turnaround for a 40ft unit and less for a 20ft. That sounds small until a driver arrives at a job site he cannot get into. They run their own trucks and drivers out of the Chesapeake depot, so the delivery is theirs to get right. The yard handles reefers, double door and side door units alongside plain 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube, so the odd request does not have to go out of state. It is a working port depot with gate moves and inspections running through it daily. No grades are published though, so pin the condition down in writing.

Bay Container Services stocks 8ft, 10ft, 20ft, 40ft, 45ft and 53ft boxes, and no other yard in Virginia carries that spread. Most yards in the state stop at 20ft and 40ft. If you need an odd length for a tight lot or a 53ft for warehouse overflow, this is where they sit. They also handle ISO tanks, open tops, flat racks and military spec units out of the Chesapeake depot, which doubles as an FHWA inspection station. Membership of the National Portable Storage Association and an A plus file with the BBB both check out. Grading is loose though, described as one-trip down to value priced used, and the public review record is mixed, so ask for photos of the actual unit before you pay.

Turner Leasing Storage To Go sits at Glade Spring on I-81, and it is the only container yard in Virginia sitting west of Roanoke. For a farm in Washington County or a contractor working Bristol and Abingdon, that is the difference between a short haul and paying freight from three hours east. The family has run it since 1989. They sell 20ft and 40ft units plus job offices, and the modification side covers windows, doors, shelving and electrical work including lighting and heating. What they do not do is publish anything. There are no prices, no sizes on the sales page and no grade language at all, so the first call has to cover a lot of ground.

Panda Storage Rentals has put containers on job sites for Walmart, Dollar Tree, Best Buy and Family Dollar, which tells you the Salem yard can handle a retail rollout and the paperwork that comes with it. The purchase page lists four units with full inside and outside dimensions, and one of them is a 40ft refrigerated box. Most Virginia yards carrying reefers are big port depots or national branches, so a small independent holding one is worth knowing about if you are storing produce or keeping cold stock through a build. They have been incorporated since 2018 and are BBB accredited. The review trail is very thin though, so ask for local references before you commit to a first order.
