Conex Box for Sale in New Jersey

Shipping containers in New Jersey

The Port of New York and New Jersey, centered on Port Newark and Port Elizabeth, is the busiest container port on the East Coast. Containers that come off ships and out of leasing fleets often end up in depots nearby, which helps keep used stock close to New Jersey buyers.

That makes it a good place to buy shipping containers in NJ: more choice of sizes and grades, and shorter delivery distances to much of the state.

Sizes and types for New Jersey sites

• 20ft conex box: the best fit for most suburban driveways, small businesses and job sites.
• 10ft and 8ft units: for older towns with tight lots and narrow streets.
• 40ft conex box: for warehouses, farms and sites with plenty of room.
• Refrigerated containers: for restaurants, farms and events.

Delivery in New Jersey

Most deliveries use a tilt-bed truck, which needs a long, straight approach and firm ground. In older towns, check for narrow streets, tight turns into driveways and low wires. On farms and rural lots, check that the ground is firm enough after rain. Describe your site when you request a quote and we’ll confirm access.

Permits and local rules

New Jersey has more than 500 municipalities, and each sets its own zoning rules. Some treat a storage container like a shed, some allow them only for a set period during construction or a move, and some restrict them in front yards or residential zones. HOAs often have their own rules.

Before you order, call your municipal zoning office and ask about:

• Whether a permit is needed, and for how long the container can stay
• Setbacks from property lines
• Rules for front yards and driveways
• Any requirements for screening or painting

Used containers in New Jersey

With a major port nearby, used containers are common in New Jersey. For storage, a wind and watertight grade is usually the best value. Read about used conex containers and their grades, or compare new (one-trip) containers.

Buy, rent or rent-to-own

Buy outright, rent a container for a renovation or project, or spread the cost with rent-to-own.
