Shipping Containers for Healthcare and Medical Facilities

Secure storage and climate-controlled container options for hospitals, clinics, medical offices, and healthcare campuses. Nationwide delivery is available, with freight included in the quoted price.

Used 20ft containers typically range from $2,000 to $3,800 delivered, while used 40ft units generally cost $2,800 to $4,500. New 1-Trip containers range from $3,500 to $5,500 for a 20ft unit and $4,500 to $7,500 for a 40ft. Climate-controlled configurations are priced separately based on the required build. Standard units typically ship within 5 to 10 business days from the depot closest to your facility. Purchases of three or more containers are handled through the bulk desk for volume pricing and coordinated delivery.

We have sold containers for over 35 years and served more than 70,000 customers, including hospital systems, clinics, and medical facilities that need climate-controlled storage for supplies, records, and equipment without a capital construction project. Because we sell containers rather than rent them, the unit remains an owned asset on your property instead of becoming another recurring facility expense. If you are still comparing sizes or configurations, our commercial buyer's guide covers sizing and configuration by use case in detail.

Why Healthcare Facilities Buy From Us

Containers for Hospital and Medical Campus Storage

Climate-controlled containers are commonly selected when stored materials require a more stable interior environment. Standard Wind and Water-Tight units are also available for equipment, supplies, records, and other contents that do not require temperature management. Standard container pricing includes delivery to your ZIP code, while climate-controlled builds are quoted according to their specification.

Healthcare Facility Accessories

Healthcare storage requirements can vary significantly by department and use case. Common additions include climate-control systems for temperature-sensitive contents, added security for records or controlled-access storage, lock boxes for general protection, vents for standard units, and shelving for organized inventory.

Accessories included with the initial order can be covered under the same financing agreement. The complete range is on the container accessories collection.

Configurations by Operation Size

The number of units and the required build determine how the order is handled. One or two standard units can typically be purchased through regular checkout. Orders of three or more move to the bulk desk, where volume pricing, phased delivery, and multi-location shipping can be coordinated.

Standardizing Specification Across a Multi-Facility Health System

Healthcare organizations managing several locations can simplify future purchasing by establishing one approved container specification for repeated use.

Using the same configuration across multiple campuses gives facilities teams a familiar layout and keeps items such as locks, keys, shelving, and replacement components consistent. When a new clinic, department, or campus needs another unit, the existing specification can be reordered without rebuilding the requirements from the beginning.

A consistent specification can also make multi-unit purchasing easier to coordinate. Containers can be sourced from several depots and delivered to separate facilities while still following the same approved setup. This can be especially useful for organizations managing purchases against a fixed capital budget.

Pricing

Standard container pricing includes delivery to the destination ZIP code without an additional freight charge. Available inventory is checked across the nearest depot locations when calculating the delivered price. Climate-controlled containers are quoted individually because insulation, HVAC equipment, and interior requirements can differ from one project to another.

Standard grades cover Multi-Trip, Wind and Water Tight, Cargo Worthy, and AS-IS, with WWT being the standard specification for non-climate-controlled facility storage.

Bulk and Multi-Facility Ordering

Bulk Order Desk: Three or More Units

  Volume pricing across the order rather than per-unit list pricing.

Call (330) 286-0526 and ask for the bulk desk, or email [email protected] with your facility list and unit count.

Payment, Financing, and Section 179

Four payment options are available depending on the order: card or ACH for direct purchases, Clicklease equipment financing with terms from 12 to 60 months and a soft credit pull, Affirm at checkout for shorter payment terms, and pay-on-delivery for qualifying locations. Hospitals and institutional buyers working through capital budgets may also use card, ACH, or an approved purchase order.

Containers purchased for business purposes may qualify for Section 179 treatment, which may allow eligible organizations to deduct qualifying equipment costs in the year of purchase rather than depreciating them over several years. Eligibility depends on your organization's tax position, so confirm the treatment with a qualified tax advisor. Full payment details are available on the financing options page.

Container modifications included at the time of purchase can be placed under the same financing agreement. Modifications requested after the order is completed are handled as a separate transaction.

Procurement, Purchase Orders, and Vendor Setup

We supply hospital systems, clinics, and medical facilities that purchase through formal procurement and institutional compliance review. Purchase orders, vendor onboarding documentation, W-9 requests, certificates of insurance, and tax-exempt purchases are handled through the bulk desk rather than standard checkout.

• Purchase Orders: Accepted for qualifying accounts. Confirm the final specification and delivered price with the bulk desk before issuing the PO.
• Vendor Setup: Standard onboarding documents, W-9s, and health-system vendor registration forms can be provided on request.
• Certificates of Insurance: Available when required by the facility, compliance department, landlord, or project team before delivery.
• Tax-exempt Purchases: Submit the exemption certificate with the order so the invoice can be prepared correctly.
• Consolidated Invoicing: Multi-facility orders can be invoiced as a single document or split by site.

Bringing procurement and compliance teams into the process early can help prevent delays caused by incorrect pricing, incomplete documents, or a PO that does not match the final specification. Call (330) 286-0526 before issuing the purchase order.

Lead Times

Standard containers ship in 5 to 10 business days from order confirmation. Climate-controlled and modified units take longer because that work is completed before the container leaves our facility. If you are working to a compliance deadline or a facility opening date, confirm lead time with us before ordering rather than after.

Delivery is completed using a tilt-bed truck. The location should provide approximately 12 feet of access width, 60 feet of clear run-out space, 14 feet of overhead clearance, and firm, level ground. Hospitals and active medical campuses should also confirm security procedures, delivery windows, access restrictions, and any escort requirements with facilities staff in advance.

Inspection and Warranty

Containers are inspected before leaving the facility and checked again when they arrive at the delivery site. The condition record is reviewed at handover so the receiving team can confirm the delivered unit matches the order.

New 1-Trip containers include a 10-year structural warranty and a 10-year no-leak warranty. Used containers and climate-controlled units have shorter terms based on grade, condition, and configuration, with coverage confirmed before purchase.

Pay-on-delivery is available for qualifying locations, allowing the unit to be placed and inspected before payment is completed. For healthcare buyers working with a container supplier for the first time, this provides an added opportunity to verify that the container and any specified climate-control components match the approved order. More details are available on the container inspection process page.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you offer volume pricing on multiple containers for a health system?

Yes. Orders of three or more units go through the bulk desk, which applies volume pricing across the order rather than per-unit list pricing. Phased delivery and multi-address dispatch across facilities are included. Call (330) 286-0526 with your facility list and unit count.

2. Can I pay by purchase order?

Purchase orders are accepted on qualifying accounts. Contact the bulk desk before raising the PO so the specification and delivered pricing are confirmed first, which avoids the PO being raised against a figure that then has to be amended.

3. Can you supply a W-9 and complete health-system vendor registration?

Yes. We can complete standard vendor onboarding documentation, W-9s, and health-system-specific vendor registration forms on request. Certificates of insurance are also available where a facility or compliance office requires one before delivery.

4. Do you handle tax-exempt purchases?

Yes. Supply your exemption certificate at the point of order so the invoice is raised correctly from the outset. Amending an invoice after issue is slower than applying the exemption at order.

5. Can one order be delivered to several different facilities?

Yes. Multi-address dispatch is standard on bulk orders, and each unit is drawn from the depot nearest its destination facility rather than shipping everything from one origin. Delivery can be phased so units arrive as each site becomes ready.

6. Is delivery included in the price?

Standard unit prices include delivery to your ZIP code with no separate freight charge, and pricing reflects the five nearest depots so the figure returned is the lowest available for that address. Climate-controlled units are quoted individually rather than by a fixed delivered price range.

7. What is the lead time on a climate-controlled container?

Longer than the 5 to 10 business days a standard unit takes, because insulation and HVAC work is completed before the container leaves our facility. If you are working to a compliance deadline, call (330) 286-0526 to confirm lead time before ordering.

8. Can we inspect the container before paying?

Pay-on-delivery is available for qualifying addresses, which places and inspects the unit on your site before payment clears. Every container is also inspected before dispatch and again at delivery, with the record reviewed at handover. See the inspection process page.

9. What warranty comes with the container?

New 1-Trip units carry a 10-year structural and 10-year no-leak warranty. Used grades and climate-controlled units carry shorter, grade-specific terms confirmed at point of order.

10. Can accessories be added after the order is placed?

Not to an existing financing agreement. Accessories bought later are a separate transaction outside the original agreement, which is why the full package should be specified at checkout. The range is on the accessories collection.
