Before delivery day

Prepare your property for delivery

Containers are typically delivered using a tilt-type trailer. The truck backs into position, and the container slides off the tilted trailer onto the prepared site.

Before delivery, we’ll help you review:

  • Access from the road to the placement area.
  • Space for the truck and trailer to maneuver and unload.
  • Overhead obstacles, including branches and utility lines.
  • Ground conditions and a firm, level placement area.
  • The direction you want the container doors to face.

The required clearance depends on the container and delivery equipment. Confirm your site requirements with our team before delivery day.

Storage that fits

Container storage for Oakland homes and businesses

Construction and job sites

Keep tools, materials, and equipment together on your property. Choose a container size that fits your storage needs and available placement area.

Business inventory and equipment

Add storage for stock, supplies, and equipment without committing those items to your existing indoor workspace.

Residential and property storage

Create additional storage for household belongings, maintenance equipment, and outdoor gear. A 20-foot container can be a useful starting point when space is limited.

Workshops and custom projects

Start with a container that fits your intended use, then explore options for access, ventilation, insulation, and interior organization.

In Oakland

Across the East Bay and greater Bay Area, containers provide secure storage where space is limited and costly. Contractors, businesses near the port, and property owners use them for equipment, inventory, and tools. Access can be tight on Bay Area properties, so review driveway width, slopes, and overhead obstacles with our team before delivery.

Beyond storage

Explore shipping container modifications

Need more than a standard storage container? Quality Containers offers modification options for a range of projects.

Options include:

  • Personnel doors, roll-up doors, and windows.
  • Lock boxes and security bars.
  • Vents and exhaust fans.
  • Insulation and heating or cooling.
  • Electrical packages and lighting.
  • Shelving and partitions.
  • Interior and exterior paint.
  • Custom openings and container sizing.

Tell us what you want to build and where it will be delivered. We’ll confirm which modification services are available for your project and location.

In our customers’ words

Customer experiences

Thank you for your amazing service, and quick communication. Your price matching saved my company a lot of money and your fast response was the deciding factor in why we purchased containers from you. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who need extra space or storage. Mario is the best customer service Ive had, thank you so much!
Tyler T.San Martin, CA
We recently purchased a 8 x 20 container. After inquiring with many providers, Quality Containers was an easy choice. Vince made the process seamless, is a great salesman (in a good way!) and really worked with our needs and requests. We had to schedule our delivery for a month in the future, then re-schedule. Autumn took care of us perfectly.…

How much does a shipping container cost in Oakland?

Pricing depends on the container’s size, condition, availability, and any modifications. Delivery costs depend on your address and site requirements. Request a quote with your ZIP code for pricing on your project.

Do you sell both new and used containers?

Yes. Quality Containers supplies new and used shipping containers. Contact us to confirm the sizes and conditions available for delivery to Oakland.

Which size container should I buy?

A 20-foot container is often a practical option for smaller storage needs. A 40-foot container offers more room for inventory and equipment. A 40-foot high cube provides an additional foot of exterior height compared with a standard container. Consider both your stored items and the space available for placement and delivery.

Can you deliver a container to my property?

Delivery depends on your location and whether the truck can safely access and unload at your site. Send us your address or ZIP code and describe any narrow entrances, slopes, soft ground, or overhead obstacles.

How soon can my container be delivered?

Timing depends on available inventory, your location, transportation scheduling, and any modifications. Our team will confirm an estimated delivery timeframe for your order.

Can I order a modified container?

Quality Containers offers a range of modifications. Availability varies by project and service area. Tell us your requirements so we can confirm options for delivery to Oakland.

Can I use a container as a workshop or home?

A container can be the starting point for a workshop or building project. Requirements depend on the intended use, property, and local approvals. Confirm those requirements with the relevant local authorities before purchasing for a construction project.

Do you offer rentals or lease-to-own options?

Ask our team about rental and lease-to-own availability for your location and selected container.
