You Can Rent & Buy Our Shipping Containers
At LGI Transport, we understand that purchasing shipping containers is not the optimal solution for everyone, which is why we offer a streamlined rental service. From handling temporary renovations to planning a seasonal company event, LGI Transport can work with you whether you’re searching for rentals or if you’re committed to purchasing a container directly.
When Buying Shipping Containers is Ideal
Buying a shipping container may be the right decision for you if:
- You require long-term storage solutions.
- You have plans to repurpose your new storage container.
- You require ongoing storage for shipping and/or inventory
When Renting Shipping Containers is Optimal
- You only require temporary storage.
- You’re interested in “test-driving” shipping containers before choosing which containers are right for you.
- You have a limited budget at the time of your storage request.
Choosing the Right Container Size for Your Needs
When you’re in the market for shipping containers in Baltimore, MD, it’s important to select a container that’s just right for your storage or inventory needs. At LGI Transport, we currently offer the following shipping container sizes:
- 20 FT: Our 20-foot storage container option is optimal for small businesses, home renovations, and even for temporary office spaces. Approximately 1,170 cubic feet.
- 40 FT: LGI Transport’s 40-foot cargo container solution provides more than 2,300 cubic feet, and is ideal for larger or long-term construction projects.
- 40-Foot High Cube Containers: Our 40-foot-high cube containers are ideal for larger items, shelving, and oversize equipment. These containers are built one foot taller than our standard shipping and storage container options.
When you’re comparing our selection of shipping containers to determine which size is right for you, keep the following in mind:
- Access Needs: If you require access to your storage container to move about or operate from, you may want to consider a 40-foot or 40-foot-high cube container.
- Storage Volume: Take the time to estimate the total footage of items you’ll be storing to estimate which shipping container is best for you.
- Future Growth: Determine if you’ll be renting a storage container temporarily or if you’ll be using containers long-term. If you’re planning to expand your business, you’ll likely want to choose a container size that allows you to account for and accommodate for potential growth.
