10ft Shipping Containers for Sale & Rent

New one-trip and used cargo-worthy 10ft containers, sold or rented, delivered fast from our Houston, TX headquarters to all 50 states.

Overview

The Right-Sized Container for Tight Spaces

A 10ft shipping container is the smallest standard size on the market, and often the most practical choice when space is limited or a full 20ft or 40ft unit is more than you need. TAT Logistics stocks 10ft containers in both new (one-trip) and used cargo-worthy condition, ready to sell or rent, with delivery available anywhere in the continental United States from our Houston headquarters.

Despite the compact footprint, a 10ft container still offers roughly 560 cubic feet of fully secured, weatherproof storage — enough for several pallets of equipment, seasonal inventory, landscaping tools, or the contents of a small apartment. Because it's built from the same corten steel as our full-size containers, it carries the same lockable doors, wind- and water-tight seals, and structural durability that make shipping containers such a popular alternative to flimsy site boxes or plastic storage sheds.

Choosing Your Condition

New (one-trip) 10ft containers have made a single ocean voyage from the factory and arrive in near-pristine condition — no rust, no dents, minimal cosmetic wear. They're the right call if the container will be visible to customers, used as a branded structure, or needs to look sharp for years to come.

Used, cargo-worthy 10ft containers are inspected and certified wind- and water-tight, with cosmetic dings and surface rust that don't affect performance. They cost meaningfully less and are the practical choice for job-site storage, backyard use, or anywhere appearance isn't the priority.

Common Uses

Who Buys a 10ft Container

  • Homeowners needing secure backyard or driveway storage
  • Contractors storing tools and small equipment on tight job sites
  • Retailers and event organizers needing a compact pop-up counter or lockup
  • Farms and ranches storing feed, tools, or seasonal supplies
  • Businesses needing overflow storage without committing to a full-size unit

Pricing

What Affects the Price of a 10ft shipping container

Pricing on a 10ft shipping container depends on a handful of factors: new versus used condition, current steel and freight market rates, how far the unit needs to travel from the nearest stocked location, and any add-ons like locking boxes or delivery-day placement requirements. Because container pricing shifts with market conditions, we don't publish fixed prices online — instead, every quote is put together based on current availability and your specific delivery location, so you get an accurate, all-in number rather than a rough estimate that changes at checkout.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the exact dimensions of a 10ft shipping container?

A standard 10ft shipping container measures 10ft long x 8ft wide x 8ft 6in tall on the outside, with roughly 9ft 4in x 7ft 8in x 7ft 10in of usable interior space, giving about 560 cubic feet of storage.

What is a 10ft container good for?

10ft containers are ideal for tight job sites, backyard storage, small equipment or tool lockups, pop-up retail counters, and locations where a full 20ft or 40ft unit won't fit or isn't needed.

Should I buy new or used?
