Jake Containers provides secure, ground-level construction site storage containers for contractors, builders, and developers. Buy a container for your tools, equipment, materials, and supplies, with specialty configurations and modifications available, or rent a unit for a project in New Jersey. As a family-owned company, we deliver steel jobsite storage that keeps your equipment protected and your crew working.
Every construction project depends on tools, equipment, and materials, and all of it needs a safe place when the crew goes home. Without secure storage on site, workers load and unload trucks daily, haul equipment back to a yard, and hope nothing disappears overnight. A construction storage container solves that problem where it starts.
Contractors across New Jersey and the tri-state area buy and rent storage containers so the tools and supplies they need are always secure and within reach.
Storage containers support nearly every trade and every stage of a project. These are the most common ways contractors put them to work.
Lock up power tools, hand tools, generators, compressors, small machinery, and other jobsite equipment overnight and on weekends.
Keep lumber, electrical supplies, plumbing materials, fixtures, hardware, and finishing materials enclosed and protected until installation.
When permanent storage does not yet exist, a container becomes the first dependable storage space on site, available from day one.
Store supporting equipment and supplies near the active work area so crews spend less time walking to a distant staging area.
Renovations often leave little room inside the building. A container adds outside storage for commercial renovations, apartment renovations, school projects, healthcare renovations, and retail remodels.
A container can remain on site as project phases change, storing what each phase requires from the first day to the last.
A jobsite container improves how your crew works every day.
Yes. Shipping containers are one of the most secure ways to store tools, equipment, and materials on a construction site. They are built from heavy-gauge steel and close with lockable, latched doors. No storage option removes every risk, but a steel container is far tougher to breach than a trailer, a tarp, or a pile of supplies.
Several features work together to protect what is inside:
Security matters to efficiency. When crews trust that their equipment is locked up, they lose less time replacing stolen tools and reordering materials.
Jake Containers offers a range of sizes and configurations so you can match the container to the job. Choosing the right one comes down to how much you need to store, how tight your site is, and how you plan to load and unload.
Best for smaller sites, renovations, and limited-access locations. A 10-foot container holds tools and supplies where space is limited, making it a smart fit for urban lots, tight driveways, and interior renovation projects.
The go-to choice for general contractor storage. A 20-foot container holds tools, materials, and equipment for most projects and is easy to place on a typical jobsite.
Best for large projects with substantial material inventory or larger equipment requirements. When you need to keep a lot on site at once, a 40-foot container gives you room to organize it.
High-cube units add roughly one foot of height, giving you extra vertical capacity for taller equipment and oversized materials.
Double-end-opening and open-side containers make loading and access easier, especially when you need to reach items at different points along the container.
Modifications are available for purchased containers. If you want a container built around how your crew works, buying is the way to get it. Our options include:
Each modification has a practical jobsite purpose:
Buying is the right move when:
Renting is the right move when:
Jake Containers rents to contractors in New Jersey, while purchases are available across our wider service area.

A construction storage container is a steel shipping container used for secure, ground-level storage at a jobsite. Contractors use them to lock up tools, equipment, materials, and supplies between shifts, keeping everything on site, protected from the weather, and close to the work. Jake Containers sells and rents them in multiple sizes and configurations.
A shipping container gives you a secure, weather-resistant place to store tools and materials right where you are working. It cuts down on trips to a yard or warehouse, keeps valuable equipment locked up overnight, and frees space in active work areas. Heavy-gauge steel walls and lockable doors make containers a practical choice for most jobsites.
Yes. Jake Containers rents storage containers to contractors for projects in New Jersey. Renting works well when your storage need is temporary or tied to a single job, and our rentals come with no hidden fees or cancellation penalties. However, modifications are available on purchased containers only. Contact us for availability and a quote.
Absolutely. Buying is the core of what we do, and many contractors purchase containers for recurring jobsite storage. We sell new and used containers in 10-foot, 20-foot, 40-foot, and high-cube sizes, with delivery throughout the tri-state. Purchased containers can also be modified to fit your trade.
It depends on the project. A 10-foot container suits small sites and tight access, a 20-foot container fits most general contractor needs, and a 40-foot container works for large projects with substantial material or equipment. A high-cube unit adds vertical space for tall items. Tell us about your site, and we will recommend a size.
Yes. Jake’s containers are built from heavy-gauge steel with lockable, latched doors, which makes them a strong deterrent to theft and a reliable shield against weather. You can add a lockbox to a purchased container for extra protection. Like any storage, security improves with quality locks and good jobsite habits.
Yes. Shipping containers are widely used to store power tools, hand tools, generators, compressors, and small machinery. Adding shelving to a purchased container keeps tools organized so crews are not digging through piles, while electrical and lighting modifications make it easier to work inside. Ventilation options help with airflow when tools are stored long-term.
Yes. Containers work well for lumber, electrical supplies, plumbing materials, fixtures, hardware, and finishing materials. The steel enclosure protects supplies from rain and snow and keeps them locked up until they are needed. Choose a 20-foot, 40-foot, or high-cube unit based on the volume and length of your materials.
Yes, when you buy. Available modifications include roll-up doors, personnel doors, windows, ventilation, shelving, electrical, lighting, HVAC, custom paint, and lockboxes. Our in-house modification service can tailor a container to your trade, so talk with our team about the setup you need.
Yes. Jake Containers delivers directly to construction sites, and we have 48-hour delivery capability. Delivery works best when the truck has adequate access, and there is a level, clear area for placement. Tell us your address, access conditions, and timeline, and our team will help plan the drop-off.
Yes. High-cube containers are about one foot taller than standard containers, which adds vertical capacity for tall equipment, oversized materials, and stacked supplies, and makes loading tall items easier. A 40-foot high cube is a popular choice for large projects. Ask us which high-cube options fit your needs.
Rental terms are built around your project schedule, so you can rent for the length of a single job. Jake rents in New Jersey with no hidden fees or cancellation penalties. If new projects keep coming, buying a container may make more sense, and our team can walk you through both options.
Think about delivery truck access, a level placement area, overhead clearance, space around the container, room for the doors to open, distance to the work area, and any local or site-specific restrictions. Confirming these details before delivery day helps the container end up where it is most useful.
Cost depends on the container size, whether it is new or used, any modifications, the delivery location, and, for rentals, the length of the rental. Jake Containers offers a price match guarantee and no hidden fees. Request a quote with your project details, and we will provide accurate pricing for your jobsite.
