Container offices, cabins, field storage, and climate-controlled workspaces, built on the frame of a steel shipping container and delivered across Minnesota where the truck has the access it needs.
A modified shipping container starts with the same Corten steel ISO structure and adds the features that turn it into a functional space. The base unit can be ordered in different grades. See our container condition guide, and our rent vs buy guide if you are weighing how to pay for it.
In Minnesota, a modified container can serve as a job site office, a lockable equipment room on a farm or acreage, a cabin base on rural property, or a field office that moves between sites.
For a Minnesota winter, a site office needs insulation, an air seal and a heater sized for the space, while a storage room needs vents to limit condensation. Plan the power connection and the placement before delivery, and ask the local building official whether the finished unit needs a permit where it will sit.

Container One offers accessories, modifications and pre-modified containers. Describe your project when you request a quote.
Contractors building through a Minnesota winter can use an insulated site office with heat and lighting. In Minneapolis, placing a container in the street takes a city permit, so plan room for the office on the site.
On farms around Rochester and Owatonna, a modified container with a roll-up door and shelving can serve as a parts room or a shop. Inside Rochester, the city code allows storage containers as an accessory use only in the MX-G, LI and SI districts, so check the zoning first.
Around Brainerd and Alexandria, an insulated gear room with a personnel door can hold dock sections, small boats and equipment through the winter. Check the county zoning for the lot before you order.
Crews working near Hibbing, Virginia and Ely can use a modified unit as a field office or a tool room. St. Louis County falls under Minnesota's 60 pound ground snow load, so plan any roof added over the container for snow.
Near Moorhead and Crookston, a modified container can serve as a scale house, a parts room or an office at a farm or an elevator. The valley's poorly drained lake soils call for a raised, well-drained base under the corners.
Describe the intended use, the property location, any access constraints, the timeline, and the budget range. Those details let the quote cover the right container and configuration.
A Container One sales representative prepares the written quote, with delivery to your Minnesota address included.
Once the order is confirmed, modifications are completed before delivery. A modified container takes longer than a standard unit, depending on scope and the current build schedule.
