New, used & refurbished containers for sale in Oakland
Oakland’s port and industrial corridor drive constant container demand — and unlike the Southern California ports, the Port of Oakland runs on exports, moving Central Valley agricultural freight out to Asia. Shipping Container Depot serves the East Bay with new, used, and specialty containers built for port-proximate placement, warehouse overflow, and fast availability.
Since 2010 we’ve delivered across Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Whether you’re staging port logistics in West Oakland, expanding warehouse storage along the 880 industrial corridor, or supplying a build in Berkeley, Alameda, or San Leandro, we deliver 20ft, 40ft, and high-cube containers — typically within 1–3 days. Same-day quotes.
All containers meet ISO standards. We handle East Bay industrial zoning questions and modify units in our own shop — doors, insulation, electrical, HVAC. Tell us the site and we’ll tell you honestly what fits and when it lands.
Watertight roof, hole-free floors, sealing doors — checked at the depot.
Our drivers, our tilt-bed trucks, the East Bay in 1–3 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!
Byron YoungI would recommend Shipping Container Depot and Phil to any of my business colleagues. They go out of their way to help you — very few companies like them left. Thank you for your expertise.
Andrew SimapayBought a container and could not be happier. The price was very reasonable, cheaper than the other quotes, and it was delivered on time — placed in a very tight spot for no extra money and with a smile. Great job!

Pro tip: the 40ft high cube is the go-to for container homes and offices — that extra foot of interior height makes all the difference once you insulate and finish the ceiling.

Container delivery in Oakland
Here’s our wedge: we run our own truck fleet. Competitors sell you a container and hand you off to a third-party trucker they’ve never worked with. We don’t. Our drivers, our tilt-bed trucks, straight from our LA depot to your site anywhere in the East Bay — typically 1–3 days.
Tell us the size, condition, and delivery ZIP. We price it in one call — no broker in the middle.
One of our own drivers books a window that works for you and confirms site access ahead of time.
The tilt-bed slides the container gently into place. No forklift required — just level ground and clearance.
We deliver across Oakland and the East Bay
A 40ft container on a tilt-bed truck needs about 100 feet of straight clearance to unload. No forklift needed — the truck sets it down for you. Not sure your site fits? We’ll walk it with you over the phone.
