Portable Storage Industry
TRADER Containers is a valued partner to the on-site storage industry. We are a service-oriented company known for providing quality cargo containers in the right places – where our customers need them.
The portable storage industry provides a critical service to commercial and residential customers. Cargo containers used for the portable storage industry provide a safe, secure, on-site alternative to expensive off-site storage facilities. Once retired from marine use, cargo containers are painted, refurbished and rebranded for service in the portable storage industry. They are delivered on tilt-bed trailers to construction contractors, schools, universities and retailers who find the ease of use of rugged steel cargo containers a safe and secure storage solution.
TRADER Containers is a proud charter member of the National Portable Storage Association (NPSA). NPSA is a non-profit membership association dedicated to the advancement of the portable storage industry.

Construction / Infrastructure / Offshore
Multinational construction and engineering firms have complex logistics requirements to get their projects supported with critical supplies of materials and machinery. In many cases, sourcing and mobilizing large volumes of cargo-worthy shipping containers for export can be a daunting task. TRADER Containers has been a valued supply partner to such large international firms as Bechtel, SNC Lavalin and Kellogg Brown and Root, among others. Our global capability has not only been valuable in terms of supply of cargo-worthy shipping containers, but also providing disposal solutions once their containers finish their mission. This is particularly valuable in developing nations, where there is not easily known resale opportunities.
