Shipping Containers in Gresham, OR: Sales, Rentals, and Delivery

Buying or Renting Shipping Containers in Gresham

Grand Box NorthWest offers new and used shipping containers for sale. Available inventory may include standard 20-foot containers, 40-foot high-cube containers, cargo-worthy units, wind-and-watertight containers, and specialty containers with additional doors or access points.

Purchasing a container may be the right choice when you need storage for several years, want to modify the container, or have enough space to keep it permanently on your property.

Purchased containers are commonly used for:

• Household storage
• Construction tools and equipment
• Business inventory
• Property maintenance supplies
• Landscaping equipment
• Commercial materials
• Long-term machinery storage

If your storage needs are temporary, renting a container can provide the additional room you need without requiring a purchase. Rental containers work well during moves, renovations, cleanouts, construction projects, seasonal inventory changes, and temporary business expansions.

Rental options may include compact 8-foot by 6.5-foot units and larger 20-foot and 40-foot containers. Available sizes and monthly rates can change, so contact us for current pricing and availability.

Grand Box NorthWest also provides a rent-to-own option with terms available for up to four years. This allows customers to work towards ownership while making monthly payments.

Choosing the Right Storage Container

The best container for your Gresham property will depend on what you need to store, the amount of available space, and the delivery access.

Compact Storage Containers

An 8-foot by 6.5-foot rental container may be suitable for smaller home projects, apartment moves, decluttering, or properties where space is limited.

20-Foot Containers

A 20-foot container provides approximately 160 square feet of storage. It is commonly used for household belongings, small business inventory, tools, building materials, and residential moves.

This size can be easier to place on residential and commercial properties than a larger 40-foot unit.

40-Foot Containers

A 40-foot container provides approximately 320 square feet of storage. It may be suitable for larger construction sites, industrial equipment, commercial inventory, machinery, or major renovations.

Because of its length, a 40-foot container requires considerably more space for delivery and placement.

High-Cube and Specialty Containers

High-cube containers offer additional interior height for tall shelving, machinery, or bulky materials. Specialty options may include double-door, open-side, multi-door, and insulated non-operating refrigerated containers.

Specialty inventory varies, so contact us if your project requires a particular size, access point, or feature.

Professional Shipping Container Delivery in Gresham

Grand Box NorthWest provides container delivery throughout Gresham and the surrounding East Portland metro area.

Gresham includes established residential neighbourhoods, newer developments, commercial properties, industrial areas, and larger properties towards the edges of the city. Delivery requirements can differ considerably between these locations.

Before scheduling your delivery, we will review:

• Street and driveway access
• Gate and driveway width
• The slope and condition of the ground
• Trees and overhead utility lines
• Buildings, fences, vehicles, and other obstacles
• Available turning and unloading space
• The preferred position of the container doors
• Any access restrictions at commercial or industrial properties

The placement surface should be firm, level, and able to support the loaded container. Gravel, asphalt, concrete, railroad ties, or suitable blocks may be used depending on the property and ground conditions.

Photos and measurements can help us assess the delivery route and choose the most appropriate equipment.

Placing a Storage Container in the Gresham Public Right-of-Way

Whenever possible, customers should place their container on private property rather than on a public street or other part of the right-of-way.

Under the current Gresham Revised Code, a right-of-way permit may not be required for a storage container used exclusively for personal household belongings during a residential move when specific requirements are met.

These requirements include:

• The container must serve the property it is placed next to.
• It must be used for a residential relocation.
• It may remain for no more than 14 consecutive days.
• It may not remain in the right-of-way for more than 28 days during a year.
• Every reasonable effort must first be made to place the container on the property instead of the public right-of-way.
• All other applicable laws and placement rules must still be followed.

Different rules may apply to construction storage, commercial use, longer placement periods, traffic lanes, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, easements, or other temporary facilities.

City requirements can change. Contact the City of Gresham before scheduling delivery if any part of the container or delivery equipment will occupy the public right-of-way.

How Gresham Residents and Businesses Use Storage Containers

Moving and Relocation

A portable storage container allows you to pack over several days rather than loading and unloading everything at once. Once your container is packed, Grand Box NorthWest can transport it through our shipping container moving service.

Containers may be used for moves within Gresham, elsewhere in the Portland metro area, or to another approved Oregon location.

Home Renovations

During a kitchen remodel, flooring replacement, addition, roof repair, or whole-home renovation, a container provides space for furniture, appliances, boxes, and building materials.

Keeping belongings at the property means they remain accessible without taking up space inside the work area.

Construction and Contracting

Gresham continues to experience residential and commercial development, including planning and growth in areas such as Pleasant Valley. Contractors can use shipping containers to store tools, equipment, safety supplies, and suitable building materials at the job site.

A lockable steel container helps keep the work area organized and reduces the need to transport tools every day.

Industrial and Manufacturing Storage

Gresham has designated industrial and business areas that support manufacturing, distribution, technology, and other commercial operations. Containers can provide additional space for appropriate tools, machinery, parts, packaging, and non-hazardous materials.

Containers can also support temporary storage during facility repairs, equipment installation, warehouse reorganizations, or business moves.

Retail and Small Businesses

Retailers, restaurants, service providers, and e-commerce businesses may need additional room for seasonal inventory, equipment, furniture, packaging, or promotional materials.

A container can provide temporary overflow storage when indoor space is limited, provided the property and placement comply with applicable rules.

Property Management

Apartment communities, homeowners’ associations, and commercial property managers can use containers during renovations, tenant improvements, landscaping projects, cleanouts, or maintenance work.

Landscaping and Property Maintenance

Landscapers, grounds crews, and property owners can use containers for mowers, hand tools, irrigation supplies, seasonal equipment, and suitable maintenance materials.

Planning for Rain, Heat, and Condensation

Containers sold or rented as wind and watertight are inspected to help prevent outside rain and wind from entering. However, a wind-and-watertight container is not automatically climate controlled.

Seasonal temperature changes can cause condensation inside a steel container. Moisture can also be introduced through wet furniture, building materials, equipment, or frequent door opening.

For moisture-sensitive items, consider:

• Adding ventilation
• Using moisture-control products
• Keeping boxes and furniture off the floor
• Installing suitable shelving
• Adding insulation or interior lining
• Choosing an insulated non-operating refrigerated container
• Checking the container regularly during long-term storage

The placement area should also have suitable drainage. Avoid positioning the container where water regularly collects or where soft ground could cause it to shift.

Container Moving and Modification Options

Grand Box NorthWest can move suitable loaded containers between approved locations. This allows customers to use one container for packing, storage, and relocation.

If you purchase a container, you may also request shipping container modifications. Available modifications may include:

• Personnel doors
• Roll-up doors
• Additional cargo doors
• Windows and vents
• Lockboxes
• Shelving and partitions
• Insulation and interior lining
• Exterior paint

The available options depend on the container, materials, intended use, and budget. Modified containers used as offices, workshops, or occupied spaces may require zoning, building, fire, electrical, or other approvals.

Container Delivery Methods

Grand Box NorthWest uses three delivery methods. The correct option depends on the container size, property layout, access route, and placement location.

Tiltdeck Delivery

Tiltdeck delivery is generally the most affordable option. It requires enough space for the truck and trailer to enter, position the container, and leave safely.

Rollback Delivery

Rollback delivery is faster and provides greater manoeuvrability in some locations. It may be suitable for properties where a standard tiltdeck has limited turning room.

Mule Delivery

The Mule provides the most precise placement. It can help position a container in a tighter area after the unit has been unloaded from the delivery vehicle.

Send us photos and measurements of the site so we can recommend the most suitable method.
