How shipping containers are used in Jacksonville

Port and Logistics

JAXPORT’s terminals at Blount Island, Dames Point and Talleyrand handle containers, vehicles and bulk cargo. Distribution centers along I-95 and I-10 use containers for overflow storage, yard space and short term warehousing.

Military and Defense

Naval Station Mayport, Naval Air Station Jacksonville and the defense contractors around them use containers for secure storage, equipment and mobile workspace. Lockable steel units with lockboxes suit sites that need controlled access.

Construction

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, and new development keeps spreading into St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties. Contractors move containers from site to site as lockable tool stores and offices. A 40ft shipping container suits larger crews.

Residential and Storm Season Storage

Homeowners use containers for garage overflow, moving and hurricane season storage. A 20ft shipping container fits most driveways and side yards, and a used shipping container in wind and watertight grade keeps the cost down.

Agriculture and Timber

Farms, timber operations and rural properties across Northeast Florida use containers for equipment, fuel, feed and tool storage. Compare quotes from vetted local suppliers, or check current shipping container prices. Also serving Miami, Orlando and Tampa, or see all of Florida.

Buying a shipping container in Jacksonville

Delivery in Northeast Florida

Containers are delivered on a tilt bed truck that slides the unit onto firm, level ground. Jacksonville covers a very large area, so the distance from the depot to your site has a real effect on the delivered price. Leave around 100 feet of straight access for the truck and clear overhead space.

Ground preparation

Low-lying and sandy ground is common near the St. Johns River and the coast. A compacted gravel pad or concrete pads under the corners keep the container level and dry, and anchoring is recommended for hurricane season.

Choosing a container

Most buyers in Jacksonville choose between a 20ft and a 40ft shipping container for storage. For a site office or workshop, a high cube container adds headroom for insulation and lighting. Our shipping container dimensions guide compares the sizes.
