Shipping Container Modifications with SuperBox

SuperBox gives you plenty of options to customize shipping containers, making them ideal for both personal and business use. Here are some popular modifications you can choose from:

Exterior Paint Job

You can also have the outside of your container painted. This is a great option if the container will be in a public space or if you want it to match your business’s branding. Plus, it helps protect the container from weather damage and rust.

Interior Paint Job

Give the inside of your container a fresh coat of paint! This makes it look better and helps protect against rust and makes the space feel brighter and more welcoming, especially if you’re using it as an office or living space.

A roll-up door makes accessing your container much easier, especially if you need to store or move larger items in and out. It’s a great choice for containers used as storage or workspaces where you want wide, easy access.

Personnel Doors

A personnel door is a smaller door that makes it easier to get in and out of the container without having to open the large cargo door. It’s perfect for containers that are being used as offices or workshops, where you don’t need the big doors open all the time.

Modified Windows

Adding windows to your container allows natural light to come in and helps with ventilation. If you’re turning the container into an office, studio, or even a small living space, windows can make the inside more comfortable and airy.

Electrical Installations

SuperBox can add electrical wiring, lighting, and outlets to your container, turning it into a fully functional workspace or living area. Whether you need lights, power for tools, or just basic electricity, this modification makes your container ready for everyday use.

Custom Office Package

Let SuperBox help you create the perfect container office tailored to your needs. Our custom office packages come with everything you need to set up a fully functional workspace. Here’s what’s typically included:

Conditions of Shipping Containers

At SuperBox, we offer a variety of shipping containers to fit different needs, including New/One Trip, Used, Cargo Worthy (CWO), and Wind & Water Tight (WWT) containers. Unlike some other companies, we don’t sell “as is” containers because we believe in offering high-quality products. We recommend avoiding “as is” containers, as they may have hidden problems that could cause issues later on. Our goal is to make sure you get a container that’s in great condition and built to last.

New one trip

New/One Trip

New/One Trip containers are almost brand new. They’ve only been used once to ship goods across the ocean. While they may have a few dents or scratches from the trip, they’re still in excellent shape. These containers are made in Asia and shipped worldwide. Since they’ve only been used once, the shipping costs are lower, and we pass those savings on to you. If you’re looking for a container that’s as close to new as possible, a One Trip container is your best choice. Some even still have that fresh paint smell!

Used Shipping Containers

Used shipping containers have been used to ship goods all over the world. After their shipping journey, they’re sold at a lower price than new containers, making them a great, affordable option for both personal and business storage needs. While they may have some dents, rust, or faded paint from their previous use, these containers are still strong and built to last. Many people use used containers for storing equipment, and materials, or even turning them into homes, offices, or workshops. They’re a budget-friendly, practical choice for a variety of uses.

Used Shipping Container Grades

Cargo worthy container

Cargo Worthy

Cargo Worthy (CWO) containers are inspected and certified to be strong enough for international shipping by sea, rail, or road. They’re checked to ensure they can handle the rough conditions of global transport. While they may show signs of wear, like old paint, shipping labels, surface rust, dents, or scratches, they are still safe and fully capable of being used for shipping. To be used for export, CWO containers must pass a detailed inspection and have a valid CSC (Container Safety Convention) plate sticker. This sticker ensures the container meets all safety standards for global shipping.

Wind & Water Tight

Wind & Water Tight (WWT) containers are designed to protect your goods from both wind and water. They’re leak-proof, so whatever you store inside stays dry. While they’ve been used for heavy-duty shipping and might show signs of wear, like faded paint, rust, or dents, they are still highly reliable for storage. Although they may not look as clean or new as other containers, they are excellent for keeping your items safe from the elements.

Main Types of Shipping Containers

At SuperBox, we have a variety of steel storage containers for sale in Illinois, available in different sizes to meet your needs. The right container for you depends on what you need to store and where you want to place it. You can choose between standard containers or high-cube containers based on your specific needs.

20ft container

Dry Van Container

The standard container is the most common type. It’s fully enclosed and weatherproof, making it great for storing or shipping regular goods that don’t need special temperature control. They come in different sizes like 20′, 40′, or 45′, and are perfect for securely storing or moving items.

Tunnel Container

Double Door Container

A double door or tunnel container looks like a regular container but has doors at both ends. This makes loading and unloading easier, especially if you need to access your cargo from both sides. It’s helpful when containers are stacked, and you need to open them from different angles.

Open Top Container

Open Top Container

Open-top containers have a removable tarp or canvas roof instead of a solid metal top. These are used for larger or awkward items, like heavy machinery or construction materials, that can’t be loaded through regular doors. They are often loaded from above with a crane or forklift.

Open Side Container

Open Side Container

Open-side containers have doors that open along the entire side, making it easier to load and unload large or wide items. This is helpful for businesses that need to move bulky goods like furniture or construction materials. They offer easier side access compared to traditional end doors.

Sizes of Shipping Containers

20′ Shipping Containers

The 20 ft container is a popular choice if you need extra storage but don’t need the size of a 40′ container. It measures 20′ long, 8′ wide, and 8′ 6″ high. It has a rear door that swings open for easy access and is made of sturdy steel with a wood floor. This size is great for smaller storage needs.

20′ High Cube Shipping Containers

The 20′ high cube container offers extra height with a 9′ 6″ ceiling. It weighs about 5,000 pounds and is perfect for businesses that need more vertical space. Like other containers, it has a rear door for easy access and is durable and weather-resistant, making it a reliable storage solution.

40 ft hc

40′ Shipping Containers

The 40′ container is another popular choice for businesses. It weighs around 8,270 pounds and is made of strong steel. The standard height is 8′ 6″, but there’s also a taller version called the high cube (9′ 6″ high). These containers are tough and weather-resistant, ideal for storing large equipment and goods.

40′ High Cube Shipping Containers

The 40′ high cube container offers an extra 1′ in height, giving you more space inside. It’s ideal for storing larger or bulkier items. If you need more room than a standard 40′ container provides, the high cube is a great option.

45’ Shipping Containers

The 45′ container is a great choice for businesses that need even more storage space. Made from strong steel, it weighs about 9,000 pounds and has a rear door for easy access. These containers are tough, weather-resistant, and built to last. 

Note: 45′ containers are not always in stock, but we can find and source one for you if needed.

Refrigerated Shipping Containers (Reefers)

If you need to store temperature-sensitive items, refrigerated shipping containers (reefers) are the way to go. These containers keep your goods cool or frozen and are perfect for businesses that store perishable products. We offer both 20′ and 40′ refrigerated containers for short-term or long-term use.

Reefers protect your items from moisture, pests, and temperature changes, keeping them in good condition. Whether you’re storing food, medicine, or other sensitive items, reefers maintain the right environment.

Working Reefers

Working Reefers

These containers come with a fully functional refrigeration unit to cool or freeze your goods. They’re perfect for businesses that need to keep items at a specific temperature, such as food storage or medical supply transport.

Non-Working Reefers

Non-Working Reefers

Non-working reefers are used or damaged containers that no longer have a working refrigeration unit. While they don’t control temperature, they still provide dry storage space. These are available at a lower cost and can be used for general storage or even temporary shelters.
