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.

  2. "Do you offer a warranty?" (Elite Pro provides 12 months)

  3. "Can I inspect the container first?" (We encourage depot visits)

  4. "What’s included in delivery?" (We level & position for free)

  5. "Do you buy back containers?" (We offer trade-in options)
