See all containers and pricesWith PortMiami on Dodge Island and Port Everglades a short drive north, Miami is a hub for trade with Latin America and the Caribbean. Freight forwarders, exporters and warehouses around Doral and Medley use containers for overflow storage, consolidation and short term warehousing.
Miami’s construction pipeline keeps job sites busy all year. Contractors use containers as lockable tool stores and site offices that can be placed on tight urban lots. A 20ft shipping container fits most downtown sites where space is at a premium.
Every hurricane season, businesses and homeowners across Miami-Dade use containers to protect inventory, documents and equipment. Miami-Dade falls in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so plan anchoring with your supplier and check county rules before placing a container on your property.
Marinas, dive shops and boat yards use containers to store engines, sails, dive gear and spare parts close to the water.

Containers are delivered on a tilt bed truck that slides the unit onto firm, level ground. Depots close to the port and along the Palmetto Expressway corridor keep transport distances short for most of the metro. Narrow streets, gated communities and low branches are the usual constraints, so measure access and overhead clearance before you order, and ask about crane placement for tight sites.
Miami-Dade County and the individual cities each set their own zoning rules, and many homeowner associations restrict containers on residential lots. Commercial and industrial sites are usually simpler. If the container becomes an office, workshop or living space, it has to meet the Florida Building Code requirements for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Confirm the rules for your address before delivery.
A 20ft container covers most household and small business storage. For inventory, equipment or a site office with room to work, a 40ft shipping container doubles the floor space for a modest increase in delivered price. In Miami’s humidity, add vents and keep the container off the ground to protect what you store.
