Shipping Containers for Mining, Quarry and Aggregate Operations
Parts cribs, dry shacks, and equipment storage for mine sites and aggregate operations. Delivered nationwide with freight included.
Used 20ft containers run $2,000 to $3,800 delivered, and used 40ft run $2,800 to $4,500, with freight included in the ZIP code price. New 1-Trip units run $3,500 to $5,500 for a 20ft and $4,500 to $7,500 for a 40ft. Standard units ship in 5 to 10 business days from the depot nearest your site. Orders of three or more units go through the bulk desk for volume pricing and phased delivery.
We have sold containers for over 35 years and served more than 70,000 customers, working with mine and quarry operators running everything from a single pit to distributed multi-site operations. We sell rather than rent, so the unit stays on site instead of returning to a hire yard between projects. If you are still working out what your site needs, our commercial buyer's guide covers sizing and configuration by use case in detail.
Why Mine and Quarry Operators Buy From Us
Delivered Price Includes Freight | 300+ Depot Locations | Volume Pricing on 3+ Units |
Enter a mine or quarry site ZIP code and see the all-in delivered price. Pricing reflects the five nearest depots, so the quote returned is the lowest available for that address. | We deliver from the depot nearest to each site. This keeps delivery cost down for operators running pits and quarries across several regions. | Three or more units on one purchase order get volume pricing, phased delivery, and multi-address dispatch across sites. |

Mine Site Accessories
A standard mine site build can include these accessories:
Accessory | Site Function |
Shelving Package | Organizes parts and helps with small component storage. Confirm current build spec with the bulk desk. |
Lighting Package | Extends dry shack usable hours and parts cribs without exterior power. Confirm current build spec with the bulk desk. |
Roll-Up Door | Eliminates cargo door swing clearance for full-width access for equipment and heavy parts. |
Lock Box | Shrouds the padlock so bolt cutters cannot reach the shackle |
Container Vents | Prevents condensation from damaging stored parts and lubricants |
Accessories cannot be added to a financing agreement after an order is placed, so specify the full package at checkout. The complete range is on the container accessories collection.
Configurations by Operation Size
Configuration drives both unit count and order route. One or two units go through standard online checkout. Three or more move to the bulk desk, where volume pricing, phased delivery, and multi-address dispatch apply.
Operation | Units | Configuration | Modifications | Order Route |
Single pit or small quarry | 1 | 20ft WWT | Lock box, shelving | Online checkout |
Aggregate operation, single site | 1 to 2 | 40ft WWT | Roll-up door, lighting | Online checkout |
Multi-pit mine site | 2 to 3 | 40ft mix plus office | Shelving, lighting | Bulk desk |
Distributed parts crib program | 3 to 4 | 40ft mix plus office | Roll-up doors, office kit | Bulk desk |
Multi-site mining operator | 4 to 6 | Standardized 40ft spec | Uniform spec, all sites | Bulk desk |
Regional aggregate producer | 5 to 8 | 40ft mix plus welfare unit | Office kit, secure store | Bulk desk |
Standardizing Specification Across a Multi-Site Mine Program
Operators running several pits or quarries get the most value from a single standardized specification held on file.Crews moving between pits already know the layout, replacement parts and keys are interchangeable, and reordering is a phone call rather than a fresh configuration exercise.
It also improves the quote. A standardized multi-unit order dispatched from several depots to several sites is efficient for us to fulfil. That efficiency comes back in the pricing, which matters when downtime at any single site can be costly.
Running more than three active sites? Call (330) 286-0526 and ask the bulk desk to set up a program specification.
Pricing
All prices include delivery to your ZIP code with no separate freight charge. The quote returned is the lowest available rate for that address based on the five nearest depot locations. Remote pit access typically prices higher than sites closer to a depot corridor.
Container | Used Grades | New 1-Trip | Notes |
20ft Standard | $2,000 to $3,800 | $3,500 to $5,500 | WWT is the standard mine site grade |
40ft Standard | $2,800 to $4,500 | $4,500 to $7,500 | Best value per square foot for parts storage |
40ft High Cube | $2,800 to $4,500 | $4,500 to $7,500 | Preferred for conveyor components and tall equipment |
Used grades cover Multi-Trip, Wind and Water Tight, Cargo Worthy, and AS-IS, with WWT being the standard mine site specification.
Bulk and Multi-Site Ordering
Bulk Order Desk: Three or More Units
Call (330) 286-0526 and ask for the bulk desk, or email [email protected] with your site list and unit count.
You get:
Volume pricing rather than per-unit list pricing.
Phased delivery as each site becomes ready.
Multi-address dispatch drawn from the depot nearest each site.
Fast reordering with a standardized specification on file.
A single agreement covering the full order, including modifications.
Payment, Financing, and Section 179
Payment routes available include: card or ACH (immediate purchase), Clicklease equipment financing over 12 to 60 months (60-second approval and a soft credit pull), Affirm at checkout (shorter terms), and pay-on-delivery for qualifying addresses (the unit is inspected before payment clears).
Containers purchased for business use may qualify as Section 179 depreciable assets, allowing the purchase cost to be deducted in the year of acquisition rather than depreciated across several years. Treatment depends on your business circumstances and should be confirmed with your tax advisor. Full payment terms are on the financing options page.
Modifications ordered with the container are covered by the same financing agreement, which is why the full package should be specified up front rather than added afterwards.
Procurement, Purchase Orders, and Vendor Setup
We supply mining companies, aggregate producers, and quarry operators that purchase through formal procurement. 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 on qualifying accounts. Contact the bulk desk before raising the PO so the specification and delivered pricing are confirmed first.
- Vendor Setup: We can supply a W-9 on request after completing standard vendor onboarding packs.
- Certificates of Insurance: Available on request where a site or corporate safety office requires one before delivery.
- Tax-exempt Purchases: Your exemption certificate should be supplied at order so the invoice is raised correctly.
- Consolidated Invoicing: Multi-site orders can be invoiced as a single document or split by site.
Bringing procurement into the conversation early avoids the common delay where a specification is agreed. Call (330) 286-0526 before the PO is issued.
Lead Times
Standard containers ship in 5 to 10 business days from order confirmation. Modified units take longer. If you have a fixed site opening or shutdown-maintenance date, confirm lead time with us before ordering rather than after.
Order Type | Lead Time | Notes |
Standard container, no modifications | 5 to 10 business days | Dispatched from the depot nearest your site |
Container with roll-up door or shelving | Longer than standard | Modification completed before dispatch |
Office kit or full fit-out | Longer than standard | Confirm against your site schedule at order |
Multi-unit with phased delivery | Scheduled to your program | Units arrive as each site becomes ready |
Delivery is by tilt-bed truck. The site needs 12 feet of access width, 60 feet of clear run-out at the drop point, 14 feet of overhead clearance, and firm level ground. Haul road conditions and site safety induction requirements should be confirmed since the delivery is completed by tilt-bed truck. Access on active mine sites often requires advance clearance.
Inspection and Warranty
Every container is inspected before dispatch and again at delivery, with the condition record reviewed with you at the point of handover. New 1-Trip units carry a 10-year structural and 10-year no-leak warranty. Used grades carry shorter terms, which are confirmed at the point of order.
Pay-on-delivery is available for qualifying addresses, which means the container is placed and inspected on your site before payment clears. For operators buying from a supplier for the first time, this removes the risk that the unit delivered does not match the grade ordered. The process is documented on the container inspection process page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer volume pricing on multiple containers for a mine site?
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 sites are included. Call (330) 286-0526 with your site list and unit count.
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.
Can you supply a W-9 and complete vendor onboarding?
Yes. We can complete standard vendor onboarding documentation and supply a W-9 on request. Certificates of insurance are also available where a site or corporate safety office requires one before delivery.
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.
Can one order be delivered to several different mine sites?
Yes. Multi-address dispatch is standard on bulk orders, and each unit is drawn from the depot nearest its destination site rather than shipping everything from one origin. Delivery can be phased so units arrive as each pit becomes ready.
Is delivery included in the price?
Yes. Every price shown includes 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. Full pricing detail is in our 2026 price breakdown.
What is the lead time on a modified container for a parts crib?
Longer than the 5 to 10 business days a standard unit takes, because modification work is completed before the container leaves our facility. If you are working to a fixed site schedule, call (330) 286-0526 to confirm lead time against that date before ordering.
Can I 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.
What warranty comes with the container?
New 1-Trip units carry a 10-year structural and 10-year no-leak warranty. Used grades carry shorter terms, confirmed at point of order. Warranty terms are grade-specific rather than uniform across the range.
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.
