New, used & refurbished containers for sale in San Bernardino
San Bernardino’s fulfillment centres and warehouse networks drive relentless container demand, and the city sits on an unusual piece of infrastructure: the old Norton Air Force Base is now an air cargo hub, with Amazon Air, UPS and FedEx all operating from it. Add the rail yards and the I-10, I-215 and I-15 junctions feeding the Cajon Pass, and freight moves through here by air, rail and road at once.
The county is also the largest in the United States by area, and that changes the job. A drop on the valley floor in Rialto or Fontana is straightforward. A drop up the mountain toward Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear means grades, switchbacks, and winter chain controls. A drop out in the high desert toward Victorville or Barstow means heat and often unpaved ground. Tell us where it is going and we will tell you honestly what the truck can do and when.
We supply new one-trip, used, and refurbished containers in every standard size, plus high cubes for warehouse overflow, all wind and water tight and fitted with a lock box. Modifications are done in our own shop — doors, vents, insulation, lighting, power, and shelving. Same-day quotes, multi-unit pricing for operators running several sites, and delivery typically within 3–7 business days.
Watertight roof, hole-free floors, sealing doors — inspected before dispatch.
Our drivers, our tilt-bed trucks, San Bernardino in 3–7 business days.

On the way back from picking up parts we finally stopped by since we drive past it a lot. Solid spot — the guy working was super helpful and got us in and out quick with the container we needed. Prices seemed fair compared to what everyone else charges online.
A Google UserWorked over a weekend to get us a modified shipping container ahead of schedule at a reasonable price. This company is the best!

Where you can put a container in San Bernardino
San Bernardino has the most container-friendly commercial rule of any city we serve, and almost nobody knows it. Development Code § 19.06.030(1)(B)(2) does not merely allow containers in commercial zones — it requires that outdoor storage happen inside them.
| Rule | What the city requires |
|---|---|
| Commercial zones | “Outside storage, which shall be limited to within cargo containers only, shall be confined to the rear of the principal structure(s) or the rear two-thirds of the site, whichever is the more restrictive” |
| Screening | Screened from public view from adjoining properties and public rights-of-way by walls, fencing and landscaping |
| Approval | A Development Permit is required |
| Industrial zones | Outside storage confined to the rear of the principal structure or the rear two-thirds of the site, screened from public view |
| Vacant parcels | No storage on a vacant parcel |
| Building materials | May be stored on the parcel while a valid building permit is in effect |
| Residential zones | No container provision. Accessory structures: max 16 feet high, no more than 50% of the main structure footprint, at least 10 feet from any other structure |
Read that first row again. In most cities a container is something you have to justify. In San Bernardino commercial zones it is the approved method — loose outdoor storage is what the code is trying to prevent.
San Bernardino’s industrial-light zone exists specifically to serve “major vehicular, rail, and air transportation routes serving the City,” and warehousing and distribution are permitted uses. If you are running a distribution operation in the Inland Empire and need overflow storage that satisfies the code rather than fighting it, containers are the intended answer here. Worth confirming the current chapter version with Planning — the code was amended in 2024.
Container delivery in San Bernardino
San Bernardino sits in the middle of the largest warehouse corridor in the western United States. The roads reflect that, and most deliveries here are among the easiest we do.
- Distribution and warehouse parks — wide aprons, dock-height concrete, turning radii designed for 53-foot trailers. A container truck is a small vehicle in that context.
- Rail-adjacent industrial land — generally straightforward, but check for low rail bridges on the approach. Overhead is the constraint, not width.
- Older residential grids — narrower streets and detached rear garages. Measure the gate at its narrowest point, posts included.
- Foothill properties toward the mountains — grade and unpaved approaches. A tilt-bed needs level ground to place accurately; on a slope it is a crane or side-loader conversation.
- Santa Ana winds — high-wind days are a real scheduling factor for a lifted container. We will move a slot rather than take the risk.
You need roughly 60 feet of straight clear run for a 20ft and 100–120 feet for a 40ft, plus 14 feet of overhead clearance the whole way in. Our full container delivery guide covers site prep, the three ways a container comes off a truck, and the eight things that most often go wrong on the day.
Delivery is quoted to your address before you commit. Send a photo of the approach and the drop spot and we will confirm the truck.
