Shipping containers for sale in Houston

BUYING SHIPPING CONTAINERS IN HOUSTON

Nestled along the Gulf Coast, Houston is a major hub for shipping and transportation in the great state of Texas. With its expansive port and strategic location, thousands of shipping containers move through the city each year carrying a range of goods to final destinations within the United States and abroad.

Some containers end up finding new purposes in Houston, serving local residents and businesses in various ways. Some are transformed into storage units or sheds, while others are repurposed as container homes, pools, bars and offices.

To repurpose a shipping container effectively you need more than just any old container, you need one from a reputable and reliable source. That's where Viva Containers comes in, offering new and used shipping containers for sale in Houston, Texas.

MEETING YOUR CONTAINER NEEDS

Our inventory includes a wide variety of shipping containers, available in different lengths, heights, and door configurations. As a result you're sure to find the perfect container for your needs.

STANDARD CONTAINERS

Standard shipping containers come in 20 foot and 40 foot lengths. They’re 8'6" tall, 8ft wide and can be stacked on top of one another. Since standard containers are some of the most commonly used containers worldwide they’re also one of the more cost effective, providing good value for money.

EXTRA TALL CONTAINERS

If you want or need a little more headroom inside your container then a high cube shipping container is the way to ho. These containers are 9'6" tall, one foot taller than standard containers, yet maintain the same width and length, making them suitable for stacking as well. Despite the additional height, high cube containers are still reasonably priced, especially when compared to a standard container of similar size.

DOOR CONFIGURATIONS

While most shipping containers feature a door at one end, there are some other configurations available that might be more suitable to your plans.

• Double door containers, also known as tunnel containers, have doors at both ends making it easier to load and unload cargo. This configuration also offers the option to install a partition in the middle to create two spaces.

• Open side containers have doors along the entire length of one side. It’s useful for a range of applications, for example if you wanted to build a shipping container bar or food stand.
