Buy Containers
What size do I need? Containers are typically available in 20 or 40 foot lengths. We do occasionally have 45 foot containers also. The first part for one to consider is where do you want this container sitting on your property and do you have adequate space for the driver to properly position the container (see Understanding The Delivery Process). Second would be choosing the size container that will suite your storage needs.
Do I want to purchase, rent or rent-to-own? When making the best decision for your situation, consider how long you expect to need the container. Purchasing containers is great if you know that you want it forever, but alot of time renting a container is more practical and lets you use the container for your project and turn it in at the end. Rent-To-Own is another great way to get the container you need now and pay for it over time. Our Rent-To-Own program is a (24) month lease purchase that typically starts with a minimal down payment and (24) monthly payments. Contact us today and get an immediate quote.
Dog Kennel Containers
This design was built with durability in mind. When our customer came to us needing shelter for her Great Danes, we built a custom unit strong enough to withstand the abuse of 180# dogs. We added windows and vents for ventilation and natural light, openings for the dogs to go in and out, sealed the floors to protect against the weather, partition walls made of steel (built with the walls 4” off the floor to allow for cleaning and drainage) and the used expanded metal to protect against the animals jumping on the windows and risk breaking or hurting themselves.
Firework Stand Containers
Metro Container has spent 12 years perfecting our container fireworks stand. Our design of fireworks stands have become widely known as the best in the industry.

Storage Facility Containers
Whether adding on to an existing facility or starting a new one, containers provide instant storage which turns into instant revenue for you.
Step 1: Site Preparation
Containers need to be placed on a fairly level, flat surface. Containers are self-supporting and are designed for the weight of the container to be transferred to the corner posts. It is recommended that the container be placed on cement pads (commonly called trailer bases) which are solid cements pads typically 16” x 16” x 4” thick, but railroad ties or other wooden blocks can also be used. It is very important that all four corners are firmly in contact with the blocks. If a container is sitting on a soft, unstable surface, the container can actually twist, causing the doors to become hard to open and close.
Step 2: Delivery Process
When the driver reaches your destination, he will meet with you to discuss and inspect the location where you are wanting the container to sit. We will be looking for overhead obstructions, make sure the driving surface is adequate to hold the weight of the truck, and be looking for any safety concerns. All of this done prior to unloading the container.
Delivery of the container is done with a tilt bed truck or trailer. We set the back end of the container down and slide the bed out from under the container. It is a very precise unload, it doesn’t just slide off the back.
When unloading a 20 foot container, we need a minimum of 75 Feet of straight clearance and a 40 foot container we need a minimum of 120 Feet. The driver is able to turn, jackknife, etc. to get into position for unload but the truck and trailer have to be straight during the actual unloading (if not the container can flip off the side). Keep in mind that we need 21 Feet of unobstructed vertical height to safely unload the containers, so keep power lines, signs, and awnings in mind.
Quality is our Focus, Customer Satisfaction is Our Priority.
Commercial/Industrial Containers
Why use valuable building space when you can put these items outside and keep them contained? This container has openings to provide easy access for waste oil, new oil tanks, misc. lubricants as well as air compressor storage. All are piped directly from the container into the building. Oil containment pans were placed inside the container to protect from spills. Valuable floor space saved as well as unsightly storage out of view. Call for pricing.
