What Rochester Residents Use Containers For
Rochester has a unique mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, agricultural land, and medical facilities. That diversity means containers get used for just about everything imaginable.
- Healthcare and medical industry uses: Medical practices, clinics, research facilities, and healthcare-related businesses often need secure storage for equipment, supplies, files, and records.
- Residential storage applications: Rochester homeowners use containers for all the typical reasons you'd expect. Extra storage during moves or home renovations. Space for seasonal decorations, lawn equipment, and outdoor furniture.
- Commercial and retail uses: Businesses throughout Rochester need storage. Shops along Broadway, retailers at Apache Mall, restaurants, service companies, and countless other operations.
- Construction and development: Rochester's continued growth means constant construction activity across the city. New housing developments, commercial projects, road work, and infrastructure improvements all require on-site storage for tools, materials, and equipment.
- Agricultural applications: The farmland surrounding Rochester creates demand for rural storage solutions. Containers work exceptionally well for storing feed, seed, fertilizer, equipment parts, and supplies.
Container Sizes We Offer in Rochester
We stock the container sizes that Rochester buyers need most.
20 Foot Containers
The most versatile and popular option for both residential and small commercial buyers. A 20 foot container fits on most properties in Rochester while providing almost 1,200 cubic feet of interior storage space. That's enough room for substantial storage without taking over your entire yard or lot. Perfect for homeowners, small businesses, and anyone who needs solid storage capacity in a manageable size.
40 Foot Containers
When you need maximum storage capacity, the 40 foot container is the answer. You're getting double the space of a 20 footer, which makes these containers ideal for commercial inventory, large equipment, significant material storage, or as the starting point for conversion projects. Many Rochester businesses find that a single 40 footer solves space problems that would otherwise require major investment.
40 Foot High Cube
Same length and width as a standard 40 footer but with an extra foot of interior height. The high cube is the preferred choice for container offices, workshops, studios, and residential conversions where ceiling height directly affects comfort and usability. If you're planning to spend time inside the container or install overhead systems, the high cube is worth considering.

Understanding Container Conditions
Every container has a history, and that history affects both condition and price. Here's what we offer:
New (One Trip)
Fresh from the factory with just one ocean voyage behind them. These containers arrive looking clean and professional with minimal signs of wear. If your container will be highly visible, if you're planning a conversion project, or if you simply want the best appearance possible, one trip is the premium choice. We can sometimes arrange specific colors on new containers, though availability varies.
Cargo Worthy
These containers have worked in the international shipping industry but remain in solid condition. They're certified to meet shipping standards, which means they're structurally sound and completely watertight. You'll see some cosmetic wear like paint chips, minor dents, and perhaps a bit of surface rust at corners. Nothing that affects function. Great value for buyers who prioritize performance over appearance.
Wind and Watertight (WWT)
Older containers that have been retired from international shipping service. More visible wear including larger dents, rust spots, and faded paint. They no longer meet shipping certification but still keep the Minnesota weather out. Best for buyers who need functional storage at the lowest possible price point.
As Is
We generally don't recommend these for most Rochester buyers. As is containers have significant damage and come with no warranty. Holes, severe rust, seal problems. Some people want them for major modification projects where they plan to cut and rebuild extensively. If that's your situation, we can source them. Just go in with realistic expectations.
