How Minnesota Businesses Use Conex Boxes & Storage Units
The use of shipping containers has become increasingly popular in Minneapolis due to their versatility, durability, and affordability. Originally designed for intermodal transport, these large steel boxes are now being repurposed across Minnesota for everything from on-site storage and mobile offices to pop-up shops and shipping container homes.
Shipping containers offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional construction, making them ideal for Minnesota's harsh weather conditions. Their watertight steel structure ensures your goods stay dry through heavy snow and rain. Whether you are a business in Woodbury looking for seasonal storage, a contractor in Coon Rapids needing a secure job site box, or a homeowner building a tiny home or accessory dwelling unit, our containers offer the flexibility you need.
Why Our Shipping Container Prices in Minnesota Are the Best
Minnesota’s thriving economy relies heavily on key export industries, which ensures a steady supply of high-quality used cargo containers available for purchase.
-
Agriculture & Farming: Farmers across the state use 20ft and 40ft containers for seed and grain storage, equipment protection, and even as modified barns.
-
Manufacturing & Medical: With giants like 3M and Medtronic in the region, there is a constant flow of 40ft High Cube containers moving through the area, which we source for our inventory.
-
Construction: As the Twin Cities expand, construction storage becomes vital. Our Wind and Watertight (WWT) containers provide secure, mobile warehouses for tools and materials.
Because Minneapolis is a key logistics hub, processing billions in exports to destinations like Canada and China, US Conex can maintain a robust stock of 20-foot and 40-foot containers. This availability allows us to offer the best shipping container prices in Minneapolis, passing the savings directly to you.
Minneapolis Customer Success Story — Conex Box Delivery
Twin Cities Renovators, a Minneapolis home-remodel firm, purchased a 20-ft wind and watertight container for a Uptown kitchen overhaul. Delivered from our St. Paul depot in 7 business days, they inspected on arrival and paid after delivery. The secure conex box protected cabinets and appliances during a spring downpour - no damage, zero delays and helped complete the project two days ahead of schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of shipping containers do you sell in Minneapolis?
US Conex sells new and used conex containers, conex boxes, shipping containers, storage containers, cargo containers, and sea containers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. All units are built from CORTEN anti-corrosive steel — built to withstand Minnesota's harsh winters, heavy snow loads, and freeze-thaw cycles. 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. For Minneapolis customers storing equipment, tools, grain, or farm supplies through a Minnesota winter, a WWT unit provides excellent protection at the lowest price point.
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 or want the highest-integrity used unit for a modification project (such as a container office or ADU).
Both grades are inspected before delivery and backed by our 25-year structural and leak warranty.
Can I rent a conex container in Minneapolis?
Yes. US Conex offers conex container rental in Minneapolis and across the Twin Cities metro 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 popular with contractors and seasonal businesses across Minnesota.
To get started, fill out our rental application on the Rent page and we'll review it within two business days.
Which cities in Minnesota and Wisconsin do you deliver to?
From our Minneapolis-St. Paul yards, we deliver storage containers in MN and across the upper Midwest, including:
-
Twin Cities Metro — Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Minnetonka, Eagan, Woodbury, Coon Rapids, Edina, and Plymouth
-
Greater Minnesota — Rochester, St. Cloud, Duluth, Mankato, and all locations within our 300-mile delivery radius
-
Western Wisconsin — Eau Claire, La Crosse, Hudson, and surrounding communities
Do I need a permit for a storage container in Minneapolis?
Permit requirements in Minneapolis depend on where and how you use the container:
-
Placement on private residential driveway (temporary): Generally no Street Use Permit required, but local zoning rules may still apply.
-
Placement on a public street or right-of-way: Requires a Street Use Permit from the City of Minneapolis. Call 612-673-3000 for details.
-
Permanent installation (office, ADU, permanent structure): Requires a building permit and plan review under the Minnesota State Building Code.
We recommend confirming requirements with Minneapolis Development Review (612-673-3000) before ordering a permanent installation.
Can I inspect the conex container before I pay?
Depot visits are not allowed for safety and liability reasons — but our pay-after-delivery option effectively gives you the same protection. The container is delivered to your Minneapolis-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.
Are your shipping containers suitable for Minnesota winters?
Yes — this is one of the most common questions we receive from Minnesota customers. All of our containers are built from CORTEN anti-corrosive steel, which is specifically engineered to resist rust and corrosion in cold, wet, and freeze-thaw conditions. WWT and CW units are guaranteed watertight — no holes or leaks — so your stored contents stay dry through even the harshest Minnesota winters. Steel containers are also rated to handle significant snow loads on the roof.
How do I get a price for delivery to my Minneapolis address?
Enter your ZIP code in the quote tool on this page. Our system will identify your nearest 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.
