Container Conditions Explained

Rental containers are selected for durability and performance under working conditions.

  • Built to protect contents in demanding environments

Each unit is inspected prior to delivery to ensure it meets rental performance standards.

What Can You Do With a 40-Foot Container?

The added length and capacity of a 40-foot container make it ideal for large-scale and multi-use storage.

  • Construction & Infrastructure Projects: Centralized storage for materials and equipment
  • Industrial Operations: Parts, tools, and machinery storage
  • Commercial Inventory Overflow: Temporary warehouse extension
  • Large Renovations or Relocations: Whole-home or multi-department storage
  • Agricultural Operations: Equipment, feed, or bulk supplies

Should You Buy New or Used?

For projects with defined timelines or changing storage needs, renting a 40-foot container often makes more sense than purchasing.

Why Renting Works

  • Avoids capital investment for temporary needs
  • No long-term storage or resale concerns
  • Ideal for phased projects or seasonal demand
  • asy removal when the job is complete

If permanent storage becomes necessary, Arkansas Containers can help you transition to ownership.

Used (Wind & Watertight)

  • – More budget-friendly
  • – Surface rust and dings are common
  • – Guaranteed to have no leaks or structural damage
