Why Choose an 18-Foot Shipping Container?
There are so many reasons why our extra-wide18ft shipping containers are a great option for your commercial storage needs. Extra-wide means that you have more room to store large or oversized items. Our 18ft storage containers are perfect for a diverse range of job sites, including construction sites, government facilities, retail stores and hospitality sites, and agriculture projects.
We’ve designed our units to be as compact as possible, allowing you to keep them on-site without taking away valuable retail space or customer square footage. Most of our units fit within a standard parking space and come freshly painted, giving you an aesthetically pleasing, utility-forward unit that won’t be an eyesore to customers or distract from daily operations.
These versatile units can handle items large and small, but our customers most commonly use our 18-foot shipping containers to store:
- High-value inventory
- Construction equipment and supplies
- Records and documents
- Automotive parts and equipment
- Educational supplies
- Janitorial supplies
- Medical supplies
- Agriculture supplies
- Landscaping tools
- Excess or unused inventory
Our customers come from over 20 industries and sectors, making our storage units multi-purpose and multi-use. Some examples of the industries we serve include:
- Medical Storage: Our 18ft shipping containers are great for housing first response medical supplies and other emergency medical equipment. Hospitals, clinics, and medical offices use these units to create easy access to these items right on-site.
- Retail Storage: Retail stores love our 18-foot shipping containers because they free up stockroom and showroom space by housing seasonal and excess inventory, documents and records, seasonal decorations and promotional items, and unused equipment and storage displays.

Benefits of an 18ft Shipping Container
When it comes to benefits, our 18-foot shipping containers are not in short supply. The top benefits that our customers get from these units include:
- Fully Weatherproof: Our 18ft storage containers are fully weatherproof and designed to withstand just about any weather. The secret to their strength is their corrugated steel construction and sealed seams, which keep water, moisture, and other contaminants away from your unit and your equipment.
- 100%Secure: When it comes to security, Mobile Mini doesn’t play around. Like all of our storage containers, our 18ft shipping containers come standard with our specially designed tri-cam locking system. These locks were customized to seamlessly integrate with our storage containers, offering pick-proof, cut-proof, tamper-proof protection that’s virtually impenetrable.
- Portable and Transportable: As we mentioned, our 18-foot shipping containers are easy to transport from location to location. Relocation of empty units comes standard with Mobile Mini rental orders so you never have to worry about your unit breaking or becoming damaged in transport. With this in mind, these units work extremely well for clients who have storage needs spread across multiple regions, cities, or states.
