Union County is one of New Jersey’s most active commercial and industrial hubs, home to major distribution centers, manufacturers, logistics operations, and warehouses stretching from Elizabeth to Cranford. When your business needs serious, long-term storage capacity, a shipping container is one of the smartest investments you can make. 

Jake Containers sells new and used Union County storage containers directly to businesses of all sizes. Whether you need one unit on a job site in Linden or a fleet of containers at a warehouse in Rahway, we deliver throughout the county with competitive pricing and zero sales-rep runaround. 

Unlike renting (where monthly costs add up indefinitely), buying a storage container gives your business a permanent, owned asset. No ongoing fees. No return obligations. Just a durable, weatherproof steel unit that works as hard as your operation does. 

We stock multiple sizes of commercial-grade steel shipping containers for purchase. All units are weatherproof and secure, and we deliver directly to your Union County location.

In addition to these standard and high-cube options, we also offer a wide array of specialized containers, including flat rack, open top, double-door, and tri-door.  

For Union County businesses dealing with inventory overflow, equipment storage, or on-site supply management, a purchased shipping container delivers long-term value that renting simply can’t match. 

Built to Industrial Standards 

Our steel containers are built to ISO shipping standards, engineered to withstand extreme weather, stacking loads, and heavy daily use. They’re as tough as any permanent structure on your property. 

Own It, Stop Paying Forever 

Buying a container is a one-time capital investment. Once it’s yours, there are no monthly fees, no lease renewals, and no price increases. For ongoing storage needs, ownership always wins financially. 

Serious Security 

Heavy-gauge steel construction, lockbox-capable door hardware, and no windows mean your inventory, equipment, or materials stay protected far beyond what traditional storage sheds can offer. 

Customizable to Your Operation 

Need additional doors, ventilation, shelving, or electrical? Jake Containers offers modifications, so your unit can be configured to fit your exact workflow and workspace requirements. 

Scalable Storage Capacity 

From a single 20-foot unit to a multi-container configuration, you can scale your storage footprint as your business grows, without the overhead of additional warehouse square footage. 

Residual Value 

Unlike rented equipment that generates zero equity, a purchased container retains resale value. If your storage needs change, used containers remain in demand and can be resold or repurposed. 

Union County’s economy spans logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and construction, all industries that benefit directly from on-site, owned container storage. Here’s who we most commonly supply when businesses buy shipping containers in Union County: 

• Distribution & Logistics: Elizabeth’s port-adjacent warehouses and third-party logistics firms use containers for overflow staging and loading dock buffer storage. 

• Manufacturing & Industrial: Union County manufacturers store raw materials, finished goods, and equipment components in secure on-site containers to streamline operations. 

• Construction: General contractors and site managers use containers to lock up tools, materials, and machinery on active job sites across the county. 

• Retail & E-Commerce: Growing retail and fulfillment operations use purchased containers as cost-effective overflow inventory storage adjacent to existing facilities. 

• Automotive & Fleet Services: Dealerships, repair shops, and fleet maintenance operations store parts, fluids, and equipment in weather-sealed containers year-round. 

• Municipal & Government: Township departments and public works agencies rely on owned containers for equipment and supply storage at maintenance yards and facilities.

Not all container dealers are the same. When you’re making a capital purchase for your business, you want a local, established supplier you can count on, not a national chain with a call center. 

• Local & Family-Owned: Jake Containers is a family-owned, New Jersey-based company, not a franchise or chain. We’re right here in the region, and we treat every customer like a neighbor, not a ticket number. 

• New & Used Inventory: Choose from one-trip (like-new) containers or quality-inspected used units. Both options deliver the same steel-grade durability — you pick the price point that fits your budget. 

• Quick Delivery to Your Site: We handle logistics. Tell us where you need it in Union County, and we’ll drop it exactly where you need it within days of your order, whether that’s a loading dock, yard, or facility entrance. 

• A+ BBB Rated: Our Better Business Bureau A+ rating reflects years of honest transactions, transparent pricing, and consistent follow-through for commercial and industrial customers throughout New Jersey. 

• 100+ 5 Star Reviews: We’re proud to have over 100 5 star reviews, standing as a testament to our quality of service and customer satisfaction.  

• Modification Services: Need custom doors, vents, or interior features? Our in-house modification capabilities mean your container can be built to spec before it ever arrives at your facility. 

• No Middlemen, No Markups: We sell directly to businesses; no brokers, no resellers padding the price. What you get is straightforward, competitive pricing on quality Union County storage containers. 

We deliver throughout Union County, including Elizabeth, Westfield, Cranford, Clark, Roselle, Linden, Rahway, Union Township, Scotch Plains, Plainfield, Summit, and surrounding areas.
