Extra storage should solve a problem, not create another one. Ohio Storage Container makes it easier to choose, purchase, and receive the right container for your property or project.
We supply new, used, and custom shipping containers for homeowners, contractors, farmers, manufacturers, retailers, schools, municipalities, warehouses, and industrial businesses throughout Ohio.
Our inventory includes 8ft, 10ft, 16ft, 20ft, 30ft, 40ft, and 45ft high cube containers. We also provide refrigerated containers, portable offices, open top units, roll-up door containers, bunded storage, container accessories, and custom modifications.
Our team can help you compare container sizes, conditions, and configurations before you place an order. In addition, we can explain delivery access, ground preparation, and placement requirements so you know what to expect when the truck arrives.
From business storage in Columbus and manufacturing facilities near Cleveland to farms in western Ohio and construction projects in Cincinnati and Dayton, we provide practical container solutions for projects of every size.
Why Choose Ohio Storage Container?
Buying a shipping container is a long-term investment. Price matters, but so do the condition of the unit, delivery planning and the support you receive throughout the process.
Practical Recommendations
We start by asking what you plan to store, where the container will be placed and how often you need access. That helps us recommend a suitable size and condition instead of automatically pushing the most expensive option.
Delivery Planning
We review truck access, placement direction, surface conditions and unloading space before scheduling delivery. Visit our shipping container delivery page for more information.
Container Inspection
Before delivery, our team checks the doors, locking bars, flooring, corner castings and general structural condition. Used units sold as wind and watertight are checked for visible openings and signs of water intrusion.
Straightforward Pricing
Your quote is based on the container size, condition, delivery location and requested modifications. We explain each part of the cost so you understand what is included before proceeding.
SHIPPING CONTAINER SIZES
Find the Right Container Size
Our inventory covers compact residential units through large commercial containers. Select a size below to view available options.
8ft Shipping Containers
A compact 8ft container works well when placement space is limited. Homeowners, schools and small businesses use these units for gardening equipment, maintenance supplies, seasonal belongings and power tools.
Shop 8ft Shipping Containers
10ft Shipping Containers
The 10ft size provides more capacity while remaining suitable for smaller properties. It is a practical option for landscaping equipment, motorcycles, contractor tools, retail stock and business supplies.
Shop 10ft Shipping Containers
16ft Shipping Containers
A 16ft container offers a useful middle ground between compact units and a standard 20ft container. It is well suited to workshops, farm supplies, building materials and growing business inventory.
Shop 16ft Shipping Containers
20ft Shipping Containers
The 20ft container remains one of our most popular sizes because it works for residential, agricultural and commercial storage. It provides room for furniture, machinery, job-site equipment and palletized inventory without requiring the footprint of a larger unit.
Shop 20ft Shipping Containers
30ft Shipping Containers
Choose a 30ft container when a 20ft unit feels too limited but a 40ft container would take up more room than necessary. This size works well for commercial stock, construction materials and warehouse overflow.
Shop 30ft Shipping Containers
40ft Shipping Containers
A 40ft container gives manufacturers, contractors, farms and distribution businesses substantial space for equipment, vehicles, pallets and bulk inventory. Standard and high cube configurations may be available.
Shop 40ft Shipping Containers
45ft High Cube Shipping Containers
The 45ft high cube provides additional length and interior height for oversized equipment, stacked inventory and industrial materials. It is a strong choice for distribution, manufacturing and large-scale commercial storage.

New and Used Shipping Containers
The best condition depends on your budget, placement and intended use. Both options can provide years of useful storage when selected carefully.
New One-Trip Containers
New containers are often called one-trip units because they typically complete one cargo journey before being offered for sale. They usually have cleaner interiors, fewer dents and less exterior wear than older units.
They are a good fit for visible residential locations, offices, retail projects, workshops and long-term custom builds.
Browse New Shipping Containers
Used Shipping Containers
Used containers may show scratches, faded paint, patches or dents from previous service. However, they can provide excellent value for equipment storage, construction sites, farms, workshops and warehouse overflow.
We clearly describe the available conditions so you can choose a unit that matches your budget and expectations.

Specialty Shipping Containers
Some projects need more than standard cargo doors and an empty interior. Explore specialty containers designed for temperature control, frequent access, oversized materials and portable workspaces.
Refrigerated Shipping Containers
Refrigerated containers provide controlled cold or frozen storage for food, beverages, flowers, agricultural products and other temperature-sensitive inventory. They are used by restaurants, distributors, farms, event companies and commercial facilities.
Shop Refrigerated Containers
Office Containers
Office containers create portable workspaces for construction sites, industrial facilities, schools and temporary business locations. Available features can include personnel doors, windows, lighting, insulation, electrical wiring and climate control.

Open Top Containers
Open top containers allow machinery, steel, timber and oversized materials to be loaded from above using lifting equipment. A removable cover protects the contents once loading is complete.
Shop Open Top Containers
Roll-Up Door Containers
A roll-up door opens vertically, making regular access easier in places where outward-swinging cargo doors would take up too much room. These units work well for workshops, maintenance facilities, job sites and frequently accessed inventory.

Bunded Containers
Bunded containers provide secondary containment for businesses storing certain oils, fuels, chemicals and regulated liquids. The appropriate setup depends on the materials, quantities and rules that apply to the facility.

Retailers and growing businesses can create additional space for excess stock, packaging, displays, equipment, and seasonal inventory without immediately expanding their building.

[row_inner_3] [col_inner_3 span__sm=”12″]Planning, Placement, and Local Requirements
Rules for placing or modifying a shipping container can vary by municipality, county, township, property type, and intended use.
Ohio law allows zoning certificates to be required in areas covered by applicable zoning resolutions. Before ordering a container, contact the building or zoning department responsible for your property.
<strong><a href=”https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-519.17″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Review Ohio Zoning Certificate Information</a></strong>
Containers converted into homes, offices, or other occupied spaces may be subject to building requirements based on their design and intended use. Unaltered containers used only for storage may be treated differently from modified or occupied structures.

Where can I buy shipping containers in Ohio?
Ohio Storage Container supplies new, used, specialty, and custom shipping containers throughout Ohio. We serve homeowners, contractors, farms, schools, warehouses, manufacturers, and other commercial customers.
Browse our current inventory or request a quote based on your preferred container size, condition, and delivery ZIP code.
How much does a shipping container cost in Ohio?
The cost depends on the container’s size, condition, availability, delivery distance, and requested modifications. Used containers generally cost less than new one-trip units, while refrigerated and custom containers require a larger investment.
Send us your ZIP code and preferred container type for current pricing.
What shipping container sizes do you sell?
We offer 8ft, 10ft, 16ft, 20ft, 30ft, 40ft, and 45ft high cube shipping containers. The right size depends on what you plan to store, the space available for placement, and your future storage requirements.
Our team can help you compare container sizes before ordering.
Do you deliver shipping containers throughout Ohio?
Yes. We coordinate delivery across Ohio, including Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, Canton, Youngstown, and surrounding communities.
Delivery cost and availability depend on your ZIP code, site access, container size, and the equipment required for unloading.
Are used shipping containers wind and watertight?
Used containers sold as wind and watertight are inspected for visible openings, damaged seals, and signs of water intrusion. They may still have cosmetic wear such as faded paint, surface rust, patches, scratches, or dents from previous cargo service.
Ask about the exact condition of the unit included in your quote.
Are shipping container homes legal in Ohio?
Ohio does not have one blanket rule approving every shipping container home. A container home may be possible, but the project must comply with the building code, zoning rules, permit requirements, and occupancy standards that apply at its location.
Ohio’s current industrialized-unit rules treat unaltered containers used exclusively for storage differently from containers converted into residential or occupied structures. Customers should speak with their local building and zoning departments before purchasing containers for a home project.

Do I need a permit to place a shipping container on my property?
Permit requirements vary by city, township, county, zoning district, property type, placement, and intended use. Temporary storage, permanent storage, commercial use, and occupied conversions may be treated differently.
Contact your local building or zoning department before ordering, especially when the container will be modified, connected to utilities, or used as an occupied structure.
Should I buy a new or used shipping container?
A new one-trip container is usually the better choice when appearance, minimal wear, and maximum service life are priorities. A used container provides a more affordable option for farms, construction sites, workshops, equipment storage, and warehouse overflow.
