Why Choose Used Shipping Containers?

Used containers offer 50-60% savings vs. new ones, with many still in near-perfect condition (wind/watertight, minimal dents). Ideal for:

• Construction site storage

• Farm equipment protection

• Pop-up retail spaces

• Home/garage overflow storage

🔹 Pro Tip: At Elite Pro, every used container undergoes a 15-point inspection (doors, flooring, rust checks) before sale.
