Our storage-class ISO containers are not weather-proof, but they are incredibly versatile. Supplement your storage or transform them into pop-up retail space, temporary office quarters, or living space. They are built to ISO standards of 40 feet long and 8 feet wide with an interior height of 8 feet 6 inches.
The 40-foot storage-class shipping container is a versatile solution for supplementing your storage, pop-up retail spaces, temporary office quarters, or as the foundation for supplemental living space.
Our secure 40-foot shipping containers are the ideal solution for extra inventory or equipment storage. Their steel construction and weather-tight design provide durable and versatile space exactly when you need it. Forklift-ready and stackable, these standard containers efficiently utilize the available yard area at your facility. With standard dimensions, they fit neatly in the space you have and are moveable as your business storage needs change.
Additional space
Our standard 40-foot shipping containers provide economical, modular space for your home or office needs. Their steel build means a secure room with doors you can lock. Containers stack and connect for versatile layouts and are portable to relocate. With some simple modifications, they become living spaces, pop-up shops, backyard studios, or affordable office spaces.

Roll-off Delivery
With roll-off delivery, you don’t have to own or rent a container handler for delivery and placement. APS will deliver your container to your location and roll it off into its permanent location. We deliver your container using a “tilt bed” roll-off truck or trailer. Smaller trucks that typically deliver 10 and 20-foot units resemble medium-sized flatbed tow trucks. These trucks have fixed axles and vary in maneuverability but, as a general rule, require 60 linear feet straight back into the area where you need the container. After the truck pulls into the desired location, the driver will lift the front end of the bed and pull straight forward until the container slides off the truck and onto the ground.
Requirements for roll-off delivery:
Hard surface: Site surfaces must be clear, dry, and hard with no risk of vehicle or container sinking.
Free of obstructions: Delivery space must be free of overhead power lines, trees, and other obstructions. Delivery trucks need a vertical space of 16’ for delivery at its peak tilt.
Space to maneuver: Please ensure the delivery location has ample space for wide turns and is free of obstructions, such as gates and fences, that may interfere with the turning radius of our delivery trucks.
Space to Deliver: The length of our trucks and beds may be anywhere from 60 feet to over 100 feet, with a width of 10 feet. Please ensure your site can accommodate the dimensions of the delivery truck and shipping container, plus room for maneuvering.
If in doubt, send us pictures or a video of your proposed site. We will review it and make recommendations for a quick and reliable delivery.
