New, used & refurbished containers for sale in Fremont
Fremont is where the Bay Area actually builds things. Home to the largest car plant on the West Coast, a deep bench of contract manufacturers, semiconductor and hardware suppliers, and the Warm Springs innovation district, it runs on physical production rather than office space — and that means constant demand for equipment storage, parts inventory, construction staging, and warehouse overflow.
Hardware moves in steps, and containers suit the awkward middle. A pilot line outgrows its bay before the new lease starts. A facility fit-out needs tooling secured on site for four months. A supplier takes on volume that arrives before the racking does. We deliver 20ft, 40ft, and high-cube units for exactly those gaps, to buy or to rent, and collect them again when the space catches up.
All units are wind and water tight, lockable, and fitted with a lock box that shields the padlock from bolt cutters. Modifications are done in our own shop — personnel doors, lighting, power, ventilation, insulation, and shelving. Same-day quotes, multi-unit pricing, and delivery across southern Alameda County typically within 3–7 business days.
Watertight roof, hole-free floors, sealing doors — inspected before dispatch.
Our drivers, our tilt-bed trucks, Fremont 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 Fremont
Fremont has no container-specific ordinance. What it does have is a tight set of accessory structure standards, and a standard shipping container fails one of them before you have even chosen a spot.
| Rule | What the city requires |
|---|---|
| Accessory structure height (FMC 18.153) | Maximum 12 feet. A standard container is 8 ft 6 in and a high cube is 9 ft 6 in — both fit |
| Setback | Exterior walls set back 5 feet from any property line |
| Separation | At least 6 feet between the accessory structure and any other structure on the property |
| Yard coverage | Cannot exceed 30% of the area of the minimum required rear or side yard |
| Relaxed rules threshold | Only for structures under 120 sq ft and under 6 ft 6 in high with no utilities. A 20ft container is 160 sq ft — so the full standards apply |
| Industrial exterior storage (§ 18.50.050) | Prohibited in required front and street side yards. All exterior storage must be screened by view-obstructing fencing or landscaping so it is not visible from any public street, freeway or frontage road |
| Container-specific interpretation | None published. Fremont has not said in writing how these standards apply to containers |
The honest position: the numbers above are real and they are the ones a planner will reach for, but Fremont has never published a container interpretation. Treat the 5-foot setback and 6-foot separation as the working assumption and confirm with Planning before you order.
Fremont reports over 900 manufacturing and hardware companies, with advanced manufacturing accounting for one in every four jobs and the largest industrial real estate inventory in the Bay Area. Most Fremont containers go to that base — equipment storage, materials staging and overflow for firms with more inventory than mezzanine. On industrial land the screening requirement is the rule that actually bites.
Container delivery in Fremont
Fremont is one of the easier Bay Area cities to deliver into. Flat, planned, and laid out around a very large industrial base.
- Industrial parks and the Warm Springs corridor — wide aprons, level concrete, turning radii designed for full-size trailers. Straightforward.
- Tract neighbourhoods — standard driveways, usually workable. The gate and the side-yard gap are the constraints, not the street.
- Niles and the older districts — narrower streets, mature trees, rail crossings on some approaches. Worth a photo.
- Bay-edge and fill ground — parts of western Fremont sit on soft ground that changes after winter rain. If your site holds water, say so.
- Screening requirement — on industrial parcels plan where the fencing or landscaping goes before the container lands, not after. Moving it later costs more than placing it right.
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. Photos of the route in and the drop spot settle the truck choice in seconds.
