Modified Shipping Containers are the Wave of the Future
Not too long ago, used shipping containers held the esteemed
purpose of storing your overflow junk that you weren’t quite ready to unload on
your unsuspecting neighbors in a yard sale! Maybe, if you were especially
ingenious, your 20’ cargo container served as a garden shed and kept your lawn
mower, weed eater, and various other yard tools, safe and dry.
BUT THAT WAS THEN…THIS IS NOW!
Our mod shop is busier than ever working on 20’ & 40’
shipping containers installing man doors, roll up doors, cargo doors, lighting,
power, windows, air conditioners, heaters, custom paint, and the list goes on
and on! When our shop customizes a shipping container, they make sure to
maintain the structural integrity of the shipping container by adding steel
frames around windows, doors, and other cut outs. This not only keeps you safe,
but keeps the box air tight and water proof!
At DRY BOX, our modification shop can fulfill any of your
requests. We do temporary ground level construction site offices in both 20’
and 40’ lengths. Our 40’ Container Office has at 24’ storage compartment with
cargo doors. We do custom storage units. We use a 40 Shipping container divided
into 4, 10’ sections and place roll up doors in each partition.
Some people turn used insulated shipping containers into
hydroponic gardens, workshops, saunas, art studios and more.
Maybe you just want a custom length shipping container or
you have a more imaginative plan. Either way, give DRY BOX a call and see how
we can make your custom idea into a reality!
We have a team standing by to take your call Monday - Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time! 1-888-DRY-BOXX

Before you buy a Shipping Container, READ THIS!
Is price the only thing that matters when you are purchasing
a shipping container? NO WAY! While you are doing your research and price
comparisons between containers, be sure that you are comparing apples to
apples.
VIEW OF ONE OF THE DRY BOX SHIPPING YARDS |
There are brokers out there who will NEVER actually see the
cargo container that they are selling you. When you call, they give you a
price, hire a driver and deliver you a container from a shipping yard. It may
be stellar, or the paint may be faded and peeling, have leaks, dents, holes, or
even awful aromas.
DRY BOX does things differently! Our team of experienced sales agents,
delivery drivers, and modification shop is at the shipping yard with the actual
shipping container that will eventually be yours. That means we inspect each container that is purchased to ensure that they are
wind-proof and water-tight. We will even walk into the yard and take photos of
several containers so you can choose which one you want!
So before you jump at that “amazing price” be sure you are
comparing apples to apples, and don’t be afraid to ask the person on the other
end of the phone to send you photos of the actual container you are buying.
DRY BOX has several grades of shipping containers:
One Trip Containers
One trip containers are as close to a new container as you will get. They could have a few dents and dings, possibly rub marks, and minor stains.
