Davis-Monthan AFB and the Aerospace Boneyard: Davis-Monthan Air Force Base occupies over 10,000 acres on the southeast edge of Tucson and is one of the most unique military installations in the United States. The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, universally known as the Boneyard or AMARG, stores over 4,400 military aircraft in various stages of preservation, maintenance, and parts reclamation. AMARG is the only facility of its kind in the world. The base also hosts the 355th Wing, the Air Force's largest combat search and rescue wing. Davis-Monthan's aircraft maintenance, regeneration, and parts harvesting mission supports a significant ecosystem of aerospace maintenance contractors, supply chain logistics firms, and engineering support companies who require shipping containers for tools, components, equipment, and contractor logistics staging. The low humidity of the Sonoran Desert is actually one reason AMARG is located in Tucson. The dry air preserves aircraft better than any other location in the country.


Raytheon Missiles and Defense: Raytheon Missiles and Defense, a division of RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon Technologies), is headquartered in Tucson and is the world's largest missile manufacturer. The company employs over 15,000 people in Tucson and produces the Tomahawk cruise missile, Stinger, AMRAAM, Javelin, Standard Missile, and dozens of other weapons systems for the US military and allied nations. Raytheon is one of the two or three largest private employers in Tucson and operates multiple manufacturing, testing, and development facilities across the metro. The company's Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier network, engineering contractors, and facilities management operations create consistent container demand for precision component staging, secure equipment storage, and contractor site logistics. Container One supplies both direct Raytheon contractors and the broader aerospace supply chain in the Tucson area.

Using Shipping Containers in Tucson: What You Need to Know

Before placing a shipping container on your Tucson property, check requirements with the City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department. Pima County's mix of urban, suburban, and rural Sonoran Desert land means requirements vary significantly by location and intended use.

  • Temporary construction job-site use: generally permitted under a construction permit from the City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department. Confirm requirements for your specific project zone.
  • Permanent placement for storage or residential use: may require a zoning review or development package from the City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department. Pima County rural areas are generally more permissive for ranch and farm container use.
  • Residential zones: Tucson's residential zoning varies across the metro. Some areas permit accessory storage structures; others restrict visible containers. Check with the City of Tucson before ordering.
  • Container homes and ADU builds: require full City of Tucson building permits and must comply with the Arizona Building Code and applicable zoning regulations. Arizona has adopted ADU-permitting policies designed to streamline the process relative to older state regulations.
  • Commercial and industrial zones: generally permissive for container storage and operational use across Pima County, particularly in the I-10 industrial corridor and the industrial zones adjacent to Davis-Monthan.

You can buy shipping containers in Tucson, AZ directly from Container One at containerone.net. Enter your Tucson ZIP code for instant, all-inclusive pricing with delivery included from 300+ nationwide depots, including Arizona and Southwest locations with fast turnaround to all Tucson and Pima County addresses.


Q: What are the prices for shipping containers in Tucson, AZ?


Prices vary by size, condition, and delivery ZIP code. Used 20ft WWT containers typically range from $2,000 to $3,600. New one-trip 40ft units can range from $4,500 to $7,500 and above. All Container One pricing is all-inclusive with delivery to your Tucson address and no hidden fees. For bulk or multi-unit orders, call (330) 286-0526 for volume pricing.


Q: How do Davis-Monthan AFB and Raytheon shape the Tucson container market?


Davis-Monthan AFB hosts AMARG, the US military's only aircraft storage and regeneration facility with over 4,400 aircraft, supporting a significant aerospace maintenance contractor ecosystem. Raytheon Missiles and Defense employs over 15,000 people in Tucson as the world's largest missile manufacturer. Together they anchor a defense and aerospace supply chain that creates consistent container demand for component staging, contractor equipment storage, and precision materials management that Container One regularly supplies.


Q: How does Tucson heat affect shipping containers and stored goods?


Tucson summer temperatures regularly exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Standard corten steel containers handle these temperatures without structural degradation, making them superior to wood or fabric alternatives. However, interior container temperatures in direct Sonoran Desert sun can reach 140 to 150 degrees without insulation or venting, which would destroy electronics, pharmaceuticals, and precision equipment. Container One strongly recommends insulated or climate-controlled containers for any sensitive goods stored outdoors in Tucson. Vents are essential even for basic applications.


Q: Are used shipping containers available in Tucson, AZ?


Yes. Container One offers WWT, Cargo Worthy, Multi-Trip, and Economy used containers for delivery to Tucson and all Pima County communities. Strong Arizona and Southwest depot availability means consistent used container supply year-round. All used containers are structurally sound and backed by our industry-leading warranty on modified products.

Container One offers 20ft standard, 40ft standard, 40ft high-cube, insulated, climate-controlled, and fully modified containers for delivery to Tucson, AZ. All sizes are available in five condition grades: One-Trip, Multi-Trip, Wind and Water Tight (WWT), Cargo Worthy (CW), and Economy.


Q: How long does container delivery take to Tucson, AZ?


Most deliveries to Tucson and Pima County are completed within 3-7 business days from Arizona and Southwest depot locations. Delivery is always included in the all-in price with no hidden transport fees.


Q: Are shipping containers inspected before delivery to Tucson?


Yes. Every Container One container undergoes a dual inspection process before delivery to your Tucson address, inspected at the depot and again before dispatch to verify structural integrity and weatherproofing. Learn more at containerone.net/pages/shipping-container-inspection-process.


Q: Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Tucson, AZ?


It depends on your intended use and zoning district. Temporary containers on active construction sites are generally covered under your City of Tucson building permit. Permanent placement for storage or residential use may require a zoning review from the City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department. Container ADU builds require full permits under the Arizona Building Code. Pima County rural areas are generally more permissive for ranch and farm storage. Container One's team is available 24/7 to advise.
