Permit requirements vary by municipality within Salem County. Some towns require permits for containers that will be on-site longer than 30 days, while others have zoning restrictions. We recommend contacting your local building department before purchase. Our team can provide guidance based on our experience throughout the county.
The terms are often used interchangeably. “Shipping containers” refers to their original purpose, transporting cargo across oceans. “Storage containers” describes their common secondary use. All our containers meet ISO (International Organization for Standardization) specifications and can serve both purposes.
With proper maintenance, a storage container can last 25-30+ years in New Jersey’s climate. The heavy-duty Corten steel construction resists corrosion, and the weatherproof design withstands snow, ice, rain, and humidity. We recommend keeping the container off direct ground contact (using railroad ties or concrete blocks) and ensuring the roof is free of debris.
Absolutely! We offer modification services including additional doors, windows, ventilation systems, electrical wiring, insulation, interior shelving, and custom paint colors. Many customers convert containers into workshops, offices, or even tiny homes. We can discuss your customization needs and provide a detailed quote.
The delivery area should be level, firm, and accessible for our delivery truck (approximately 50 feet of clearance). We recommend placing the container on level ground with proper drainage. Many customers use gravel beds, concrete pads, or railroad ties as foundations. The ground must support the container’s weight plus contents (up to 67,200 lbs for a loaded 20-foot container).
Yes! All containers we sell (both new and used) are wind and water-tight, meaning they have weatherproof seals around doors and no holes in the walls, roof, or floor. This protects your contents from rain, snow, wind, and pests. Used containers are inspected to ensure they meet these standards before sale.
After you place your order, we’ll schedule a delivery date that works for you, and can often deliver within 48 hours. Our driver will call 30-60 minutes before arrival. Using a specialized tilt-bed truck, we’ll position the container precisely where you want it (as long as the area is accessible and level). The entire delivery process typically takes 15-30 minutes.
