An Example of an Oakland Business Using a Used Shipping Container
Bay Renovations Inc., a local general contractor, purchased a 20-foot Used Cargo Worthy shipping container for a major renovation project. The unit was delivered to their site within a week, and they paid after delivery once they inspected the container’s excellent, structurally sound condition. The team used it as a secure on-site storage solution for tools, equipment, and materials. It protected their valuable items from theft and a surprise rainstorm, helping them finish the project two days ahead of schedule.
