Can I inspect the container before purchasing?

When buying a used shipping container it's important to purchase from a reputable supplier, like one that you'll find with DefPro.com. If you find an ad online and a container is listed at a price that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Are all of the shipping containers that you sell in the same condition?

No, we sell a variety of containers. In El Paso we can deliver new one-trip containers, wind and water tight containers (WWT), IICL5, cargo worthy containers (CW), iso certified containers (I.S.O.), and as is. One trip containers often have minor scratches, but very few dents, and no rust. They are in the best condition and are also the most expensive. Cargo worthy containers are certified for shipping and are in very good condition but the paint won’t be perfect, usually far from it. WWT, or wind and water tight are the most common type of shipping container we sell, and they are also the most economical.

How secure is storage with a shipping container?

When all steel framing is coupled with advanced locking systems, portable storage containers in El Paso are extremely secure. Not only will your valuables be kept safe from pests, rodents and water damage, they'll be kept safe from robbers as well. Simply put, your best option for outdoor storage in El Paso, conex containers are the best option.

What are I.S.O. containers made of?

Intermodal shipping containers are made of extremely strong and durable corrugated steel on the exterior. Steel conex containers in El Paso are built to withstand rough ocean conditions and harsh weather. The interior is typically completely empty, except for the wood flooring which is varnished with a protective coating to make sure that there are no bugs and pests.

Can I buy a custom storage container in El Paso?

Yes, you can purchase custom containers on DefPro.com! Some common customizations are advanced locking systems, ventilation systems, access ramps, additional doors, roll up doors, windows, racks and organization systems, custom paint and more.

Do I need to do anything before my cargo container can be delivered?

El Paso typically doesn’t require a permit to keep a container on your own property but it can be worth checking just in case. The main thing that you need to do is figure out where you will be keeping your unit. Keep in mind that you need a firm, flat surface (grass, dirt, asphalt), and that the delivery truck needs to be able to access the area. Make sure that there's room for the flat-bed delivery truck to drop the container off.
