What is a Shipping Container?
The ultimate storage solution that's built to last.
Shipping containers (also known as sea cans, storage containers, conex boxes, or intermodal containers) are standardized steel boxes originally designed to transport cargo across the world's oceans.
Built from heavy-gauge Corten steel (weathering steel), these containers are engineered to withstand the harshest conditions—salt spray, extreme temperatures, and constant movement. This incredible durability makes them perfect for storage, workshops, and even building construction long after their shipping days are over.
In Saskatchewan, shipping containers have become the go-to solution for farmers, contractors, businesses, and homeowners who need secure, weatherproof storage that can handle our prairie climate.

Shipping Container FAQs
What is a shipping container?
A shipping container (also called a sea can, conex box, or intermodal container) is a standardized steel box designed to transport goods across oceans on cargo ships. These containers are built from heavy-gauge Corten steel, making them incredibly durable, weatherproof, and secure. After their shipping life, they make excellent storage solutions, workshops, and even buildings.
What sizes do shipping containers come in?
The most common shipping container sizes are 20-foot and 40-foot lengths. Standard containers are 8'6" tall, while High Cube (HC) containers are 9'6" tall. We also carry 9-foot mini containers perfect for residential use. All containers are 8 feet wide to fit on standard transportation.
How long do shipping containers last?
A well-maintained shipping container can last 25 years or more. They're built from Corten steel (weathering steel) that forms a protective rust layer to prevent further corrosion. With proper care—keeping the roof clear of debris and touching up any scratches—your container will provide decades of reliable service.
What's the difference between new and used shipping containers?
New containers (called 'one-trip' containers) have only made one ocean voyage from Asia. They're in like-new condition with minimal cosmetic wear. Used containers have been in active shipping service and show more wear but are inspected to be wind and watertight. Used containers offer better value for pure storage needs.
Can shipping containers handle Saskatchewan winters?
Absolutely. Shipping containers are designed for extreme conditions—they survive arctic shipping routes and temperature swings from -40°C to +50°C. The steel construction handles snow loads easily, and proper ventilation prevents condensation. They're perfect for our prairie climate.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. In rural Saskatchewan, containers for agricultural use typically don't require permits. In cities like Saskatoon, you may need a development permit for permanent placement. We recommend checking with your local planning department. Temporary placement during construction usually doesn't require permits.
How much does a shipping container cost?
Prices vary based on size, condition (new vs. used), and current market conditions. Contact us for current pricing—we offer both purchase and rental options to fit your budget. Delivery is available throughout Saskatchewan.
