Why Use Shipping Containers on Farms?

From equipment protection to storage overflow, containers bring unmatched versatility to agricultural settings. Here’s how farmers are putting them to work:

  • Secure Equipment & Tool Storage Containers: Lockable containers protect valuable tools and machinery from theft and weather damage.
  • Feed, Seed & Fertilizer Storage: Keep essential supplies dry, organized, and shielded from pests and moisture.
  • Seasonal or Overflow Storage: Add capacity during peak planting or harvest times without permanent construction.
  • Weatherproof & Pest-Resistant: Steel containers are built to endure the elements and keep critters out.
  • Mobile & Adaptable: Easily relocate containers around your property as your needs evolve.

Mobile storage in agriculture is a time-saving, cost-effective way to increase efficiency.

Onsite & Mobile Storage Solutions for Agriculture

Shipping containers are ideal for both onsite and mobile storage in agricultural settings. Whether you need a secure place to store feed near the barn or a portable unit near the fields during harvest, container-based storage gives you the flexibility to adapt quickly and affordably. These solutions help:

  • Eliminate the need to haul supplies back and forth
  • Cut down on infrastructure costs
  • Bring storage directly to where work is happening
  • Provide peace of mind with lockable, weatherproof protection

From equipment and tool storage to mobile supply stations, our containers provide durable, on-farm storage that moves with you.

Using Shipping Containers to Ship Agricultural Products

While many farms use containers for storage, others rely on them for their original purpose—shipping. For agricultural businesses involved in regional or international distribution, shipping containers offer a rugged, standardized way to move products safely and efficiently. Farms use containers to ship:

  • Fresh Produce: Refrigerated (reefer) containers help maintain cold-chain integrity during transport.
  • Grains, Feed & Bulk Commodities: Standard or high cube containers can handle large volumes for domestic or overseas shipping.
  • Farm Equipment & Supplies: Transport everything from irrigation components to packaged fertilizers.
  • Value-Added Goods: Ship bottled sauces, canned goods, honey, or packaged snacks made on-site.

Advanced Container Co. offers new, 1-trip, cargo-worthy containers ready for transport by truck, rail, or ship. We ensure each unit meets industry standards and can help match you with the right container type based on your product and shipping method.

If your operation includes direct-to-market sales, bulk distribution, or export, we’ll help you integrate containers into your logistics process with confidence.
