Where Can I Find Cheap Shipping Containers in Colorado?

Storage and shipping containers in Colorado don't stick around long. There aren't a lot of cheap containers that pass through Denver, Colorado and when they do they're normally bought up by retailers in the Front Range. When shipping containers are available you need to be ready to move quickly on them and purchase them as they come on the market.

What types of shipping containers are available in Colorado, and where are they?

The most common shipping containers that stop in Colorado are 20' and 40' containers. Some are in "wind and water tight" condition, and others are in new/one trip condition Due to the geography and trade industries located in Colorado, the shipping containers are primarily available in the metro-Denver area. Occasionally, retail dealers will move them to Colorado Springs or Fort Collins. Finding a shipping container in the foot hills or Western Slope is much less common. If you're on the Western Slope of Colorado it may be easier, and less expensive, to reposition a shipping container from Salt Lake City, UT.

What are shipping containers used for in Colorado?

Shipping containers are used primarily for ranch, farm or job-site storage units. On the Western Slope, containers are often used for oil field storage, where they can be dropped near drilling platforms and used as a secure place to store equipment (note: if purchasing a used shipping container, you may need to buy a special bolt on lock box for shipping containers) Converting shipping containers into modular homes has increased in popularity over the recent years as designs have improved and off the grid housing has become more accepted.

Why are Shipping Containers Popular for Storage?

Shipping containers make great storage facilities because they're cheap and affordable, they set up quickly, often instantly depending on your needs, and they stand up well against the harsh sun, wind, rain and snow that can be common in part of Colorado.
Shipping containers can be repurposed for just about any use, and the quick changes of weather in Colorado, dry climate, and remote storage needs all benefit from this type of product.
