When you need dependable storage or moving space, a 40-foot shipping container gives you the room and durability to get the job done. At Any Way You Want It Moving & Storage, we’ve been supplying containers to Minnesota homeowners, businesses, and farms since 1997. For over 25 years, Northland families, farmers, and businesses have trusted us for containers that address everyday storage and moving challenges.
With container yards in Grand Rapids, Stewartville, and Ellendale, we keep a large inventory of 40-foot units on hand. Whether you need a container for a month or for the next decade, we make it simple to rent, buy, or rent-to-own.
Why Choose a 40-Foot Shipping Container?
Customers often ask us whether they should go with a 20-foot or a 40-foot unit. After years of experience, here’s what we’ve learned:
- The 40-foot size provides double the space at only a fraction more in cost.
- You’ll save money per square foot compared to smaller containers.
- The extra capacity gives you peace of mind if your storage needs grow.
- It works for both short-term and permanent projects.
For families relocating, farmers storing equipment, or businesses safeguarding inventory, the larger size often proves to be the best long-term value.
