How Memphis Businesses Use Cargo Containers & Storage Containers
The use of repurposed shipping containers is growing rapidly in Memphis, Tennessee. The abundance of shipping containers flowing through the city's port and rail lines keeps supply high and prices competitive. Local businesses are taking advantage of the cost savings and durability of these weather-resistant boxes for commercial storage solutions.
This trend has also created a thriving niche market for businesses specializing in container modifications. From building shipping container homes in Memphis to creating mobile office containers and pop-up retail spaces, these steel structures are helping to revitalize older buildings and underutilized areas of the city. As the trend continues, it is likely we will see even more container-based structures appear in Memphis, including innovative and affordable housing solutions.

Memphis Customer Success Story — Cargo Container Delivery

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of shipping containers do you sell in Memphis?
US Conex sells new and used conex containers, shipping containers, storage containers, cargo containers, and sea containers in the Memphis, TN area. All units are built from heavy-duty CORTEN anti-corrosive steel to withstand Tennessee's humid summers and severe weather. Available in three grades:
-
New One-Trip — made one journey from the factory to the US, essentially brand new
-
Used Cargo Worthy (CW) — certified for ocean export, structurally sound
-
Used Wind & Watertight (WWT) — fully weatherproof, most affordable option
Available in 20ft standard, 40ft standard, and 40ft High Cube sizes. See current pricing in the table above.
What is the difference between a WWT and a CW container?
WWT (Wind & Watertight) containers are weatherproof and structurally sound — guaranteed no holes or leaks — but are not certified for ocean transport. They are the most affordable and popular option for on-site storage, residential use, and commercial projects across Tennessee.
CW (Cargo Worthy) containers are certified for international ocean freight. They meet stricter structural standards and are the right choice if you need to export goods, require certified containers for shipping, or want the highest-quality used unit for a modification project.
Both grades are inspected before delivery and backed by our 25-year structural and leak warranty.
Can I rent a portable storage container in Memphis?
Yes. If you need storage containers in Memphis temporarily, US Conex offers portable rental units across the metro area with flexible terms from 1 to 24 months — no credit check and no security deposit required. We also offer a rent-to-own option where monthly payments go toward purchasing the unit outright. This is ideal for construction contractors, logistics businesses needing secure inventory storage, or residents requiring temporary space.
To get started, fill out our rental application on the Rent page and we'll review it within two business days.
Which cities do you deliver storage containers to from Memphis?
From our Memphis-area depots, we deliver Tennessee shipping containers across the region and the surrounding 200-mile radius, including:
-
Metro Memphis — Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, and Southaven (MS)
-
Other Tennessee Hubs — Jackson and Dyersburg
-
Arkansas & Mississippi — West Memphis (MS), Jonesboro (AR), and Tupelo (AR)
We leverage major interstates like I-40, I-55, and I-269 to ensure fast, affordable tilt-bed delivery directly to your property.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Memphis, TN?
Permit requirements in Memphis depend on your intended use and duration:
-
Temporary on-site storage: Generally no permit required for active, permitted construction sites.
-
Permanent placement or structural modifications: Contact Develop901 / Memphis Construction Code Enforcement at (901) 636-7384.
-
Zoning: Be sure to check local Shelby County zoning laws, as residential zones and commercial/agricultural zones often have different allowances for container placement.
We recommend confirming local requirements before ordering a container for permanent installation.
Can I inspect the conex box before I pay?
Depot visits are not allowed for safety and liability reasons, but our pay-after-delivery option provides complete peace of mind. The container is delivered to your Memphis-area property, you inspect it on-site, and only then do you complete payment. If the unit does not match the agreed grade or condition, you are not obligated to accept it.
Every container is also covered by our 25-year structural and leak warranty from the date of delivery.
Can your containers handle Tennessee's weather?
Absolutely. All of our containers are built from CORTEN anti-corrosive steel, which is specifically engineered to resist rust in humid and rainy conditions. WWT and CW units are guaranteed watertight — no holes or leaks — so your contents stay completely dry through Tennessee's severe spring storms and wet seasons.
How do I get a price for delivery to my address?
Enter your ZIP code in the quote tool on this page. Our system will identify your nearest Memphis-area depot, calculate the delivery cost, and provide a total delivered price. A container specialist will then contact you within 3 business days to confirm availability and walk you through the order process. There is no upfront payment required to place an order.
