Hospitality Storage Containers for Hotels, Restaurants & Special Events

Jake Containers provides portable storage containers for hotels, restaurants, resorts, and special event venues. These containers offer convenient, secure, ground-level storage for furniture, equipment, seasonal inventory, and renovation materials. As a family-owned company based in Ridgefield Park, NJ, we sell containers to hospitality businesses throughout New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and more, with rentals available in New Jersey.

A container on your property keeps what you need within steps of your staff, whether you are remodeling guest rooms, closing out a patio season, or running a multi-day event. Our containers support short-term projects and long-term storage needs alike. You can buy one outright or, in New Jersey, rent one for the length of your project.

“We just purchased a 20Ft container yesterday from Jake Containers. The owner Darrin took the order himself and assured us a quality container. The process was fast and very smooth. The container was delivered the next day. Delivery was also smooth and the container was exactly as described. We are very happy customers. This is a very good company, looking forward to doing business again.” — The Port Tavern Bar & Grill

Storage Containers for the Hospitality Industry

Hospitality properties are built around guests, which leaves little room behind the scenes. Back-of-house storage fills up quickly, seasonal inventory rotates in and out, and renovations push furniture and fixtures out of the spaces where they normally live. An on-site container adds dedicated storage without giving up guest-facing square footage. Jake Containers works with four main groups of hospitality customers.

Hotel & Resort Storage Containers

Hotels and resorts use containers to hold guest room furniture during renovations, along with maintenance equipment, poolside and patio furnishings, and seasonal supplies. A resort that closes its outdoor dining area for the winter, for example, can move tables and chairs into a container and have them ready when the season reopens.

Restaurant & Foodservice Storage

Restaurants store dining room furniture, patio equipment, fixtures, and nonperishable supplies in containers, particularly during a remodel. Standard steel containers are not refrigerated or climate-controlled, so they are not a substitute for food storage that requires temperature control.

Event Venue & Special Event Storage

Event venues and organizers keep decorations, signage, staging materials, equipment, and vendor merchandise in containers between event days, which avoids hauling inventory back and forth for a recurring festival or market.

Theme Park & Entertainment Venue Storage

Theme parks and entertainment venues rely on containers for seasonal decorations, merchandise, groundskeeping equipment, and event supplies that need a home close to where they are used.

“We had a container delivered to our Hotel by Jake Storage Containers and the service throughout this process was great. The delivery man was easy to work with and pleasant, we thank you for the wonderful services.” — Boom H.

Common Uses for Hospitality Storage Containers

What are shipping containers used for in hotels? Hotels use shipping containers for secure, on-site storage of furniture, fixtures, and materials during renovations, for seasonal furniture and equipment, and for overflow supplies and maintenance gear. Containers sit at ground level on the property, so staff can load and retrieve items without leaving the site.

Hotel Renovation & Remodeling Storage

Renovations are a regular cost of staying competitive in the hotel business, and every project displaces furniture. Containers hold beds, chairs, tables, fixtures, and renovation materials in one secure place on the property, so rooms and common areas can be cleared quickly without tying up guest rooms or operational spaces. Because materials stay on-site, contractors and staff can reach them when needed, and a property improvement plan can move forward without a separate storage facility.

Seasonal Furniture & Equipment Storage

Patio furniture, outdoor dining equipment, poolside furnishings, landscaping tools, and seasonal decorations all have an off-season. A container gives them a lockable home near where they are used instead of crowding a basement or a maintenance room.

Restaurant Renovation Storage

When a restaurant remodels, the dining room has to go somewhere. Containers hold tables, chairs, fixtures, equipment, and nonperishable inventory for the duration of the work and keep everything close for reinstallation.

Special Event & Festival Storage

Organizers and vendors can store supplies, merchandise, and equipment in a container between event days or throughout a multi-day event, rather than carrying goods in and out each time.

Overflow Inventory & Maintenance Storage

Spare equipment, maintenance materials, and overflow supplies often outgrow the space a property has. A container adds storage capacity without a building project.

“I am very happy with Darrin and his company, the container he sent was beautiful just like he said it would be and was very honest from start to the finish of the transaction. DO NOT HESITATE TO WORK WITH THIS COMPANY!!! Thanks for all the great service and it was a pleasure.” — Joe H.

Why Hospitality Businesses Choose Steel Storage Containers

Hospitality managers choose steel containers for practical reasons.

  • Security: Lockable steel containers help protect stored equipment, furniture, and supplies.
  • Convenience: Ground-level storage makes loading and unloading straightforward for your team and your contractors.
  • Flexibility: Containers can support a temporary renovation or a long-term storage requirement.
  • On-site accessibility: Staff can retrieve supplies without traveling to an off-site facility.
  • Durability: Steel provides protection from ordinary outdoor exposure when the container is properly maintained and kept closed.
  • Space management: Additional storage capacity helps keep operational and guest-facing areas organized.

“Needing more storage space for our club, we recently purchased a container from Jake’s. Having a local business handle the transaction was a benefit as there was a delivery delay on our end as we prepared the site. The customer service could not have been any better. Darrin, Amira and Gabriella were incredibly helpful, cheerful and understanding. The container arrived in excellent condition and we could not recommend Jake’s enough. Thank you again.” — Gordon A.

Buy or Rent a Hospitality Storage Container

Jake Containers offers both options, and the right choice depends on how long you need the space.

Container Purchases for Long-Term Storage

Buying a container is the best fit for properties that consistently need extra storage capacity, such as a resort with seasonal inventory every year or a venue with recurring events. A purchased container is yours to keep, and it can be customized. Modifications such as shelving, electrical, roll-up doors, and branding are available on purchased containers. 

Container Rentals for Temporary Hospitality Storage

Container rentals suit hotel renovations, a single event season, and other short-term or project-based needs. Rentals are available throughout our New Jersey service area. 

Choosing the Right Storage Container for Your Hospitality Property

A few questions help narrow the choice before you request a quote.

  • Container size: 20-foot and 40-foot units are the most common, subject to inventory availability.
  • Capacity and contents: Consider the volume and type of material you are storing, from furniture sets to fixtures to event supplies.
  • Delivery access and placement: Note the available ground space, access points, and route a delivery truck will need.
  • Duration and future needs: A one-time renovation points toward a rental in New Jersey, while recurring needs point toward a purchase.
  • Security and accessibility: Decide how often staff will need to reach the contents and who should have access.

Typical hospitality applications by size:

  • 20-foot containers: A restaurant remodel, seasonal patio furniture, or a single phase of a hotel renovation.
  • 40-foot containers: Larger renovations, such as furniture and fixtures from multiple guest rooms, or the supplies for a large event.
  • 40-foot high cube containers: bulkier or taller items that benefit from extra interior height.

“They provided great service and a good quality container to keep all our supplies dry and safe. Very happy with our order.” — Justin W.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospitality Storage Containers

Hotels use storage containers for secure, on-site storage of furniture and fixtures during renovations, seasonal items such as patio and poolside furniture, landscaping and maintenance equipment, and overflow supplies. A ground-level steel container keeps these items on the property without taking up guest rooms or back-of-house space.

Yes. An on-site container gives a hotel temporary space for beds, chairs, tables, fixtures, and materials while rooms or common areas are renovated. Keeping everything on the property means staff and contractors can reach items when needed, and the project does not depend on an off-site storage facility.

Yes, for the right items. Restaurants use containers for nonperishable supplies, equipment, outdoor furniture, and dining room furnishings during a remodel. Standard containers are not refrigerated or climate-controlled, so perishable food and anything temperature-sensitive should stay in proper food storage.

In New Jersey, yes. Rentals work well for renovations, seasonal operations, and temporary events. Hotels elsewhere in our sales territory with a longer-term need can purchase a container instead. Contact Jake Containers to confirm rental terms, availability, and delivery timing for your property.

It depends on how much you are storing, the space available, and how you will access the contents. A 20-foot container suits smaller projects such as a restaurant remodel or seasonal patio furniture, while a 40-foot container fits larger renovations. Tell us what you plan to store and we will recommend a size, subject to inventory.

Yes. Containers are delivered to your property, but delivery requires suitable truck access and a level placement area. Share the location, access points, and available ground space when you request a quote so we can plan the delivery. We can often deliver in as little as 48 hours, depending on availability.

Yes. Containers commonly hold patio sets, outdoor dining equipment, and poolside furnishings during the off-season. Sensitive materials, such as cushions or upholstered items, may need extra protection like covers, so pack them carefully and keep the container doors closed.
