Companies Save Time and Money
With the Port of Houston just minutes away, many local companies buy containers to import or export goods. These shipper-owned containers can be less costly and more practical for some shippers.
Furthermore, we work with surveyors who can appropriately certify containers for ocean shipping.
By owning your containers, your goods can be stored, sealed, and shipped overseas. Moreover, goods in sealed containers can be transported from their point of origin to their destination.
This saves money and time in two ways. First, no per diem charge is necessary when your container needs to remain at your facility or that of a customer.
Second, it avoids the cost of unloading and reloading goods at the destination port. Steamships require you to keep their containers at the port in some countries when embargoes are in place.
We can help you make the import/export process work.

Traditional Container Uses
Of course, Texans are also using shipping containers in more traditional ways.
Farm Implement Storage
For example, savvy farmers may store farm equipment, implements, or tractors in new and used shipping containers. This extends and expands the size and locations of their barns and reduces their overhead costs.
Self-Storage Facilities
Green Space built two enormous self-storage facilities from shipping containers. One is on Brittmoore Road in
Houston, and the other is in Pearland, Texas, a suburb of Houston.

Super Responsive
"Les and Jordan and whoever else was involved were fantastic. Quick to answer, quick to resolve issues. I needed a container fast and they were able to get it for me when needed. There was an issue with the door (new container) and they were very willing to assist. They had someone local come out and look at it and then fix the problem - at their expense, not mine. They were always friendly and kind and happy to try to accommodate. If every business was as friendly, concerned and capable the world would be a much better place. Thanks, y'all!!"
