Any Way You Want It Storage
3598 State Hwy 30, Ellendale, MN
Our Ellendale yard sits right on State Highway 30, in the center of Steele County’s farm and small-business corridor. At Any Way You Want It Moving & Storage, we rent, sell, and deliver portable shipping and storage containers to homes, job sites, and farms across southern Minnesota.
We have served this area since 1997. Every container we stock is heavy-duty steel, weatherproof, and lockable. You can visit our yard at 3598 State Hwy 30 to pick the exact unit you want, or call 800-542-0036 and we will bring one to you.
Why Ellendale Residents Choose Portable Storage Containers
Traditional self-storage forces you to drive to a facility, load a truck, unload into a unit, and repeat the process every time you need something. A shipping container removes those steps. We deliver the container to your property, you load it on your schedule, and it stays where you put it.
Steel shipping containers handle Minnesota winters without damage to what is inside. They resist wind, rain, ice, and snow. The lockable doors keep tools, equipment, and personal items secure. You can place a container on a driveway, next to a barn, or on a construction pad.
Homeowners, contractors, and business owners in Ellendale use our containers for:
- Home remodels and renovations
- Construction site tool and material storage
- Business inventory overflow
- Seasonal gear like mowers, snowblowers, and holiday items
- School, church, and event storage
Farm and Ranch Storage for Southern Minnesota Operations
Ellendale sits in the heart of southern Minnesota farm country. Steele County alone produced over 21 million bushels of corn and 6 million bushels of soybeans in recent crop years, and multi-generation family farms still anchor the local economy. Our storage containers give farmers and ranchers a fast, practical way to protect valuable property without building a new structure.
Local ag operations use our containers to store seed, feed, and fertilizer between seasons. A 20-foot container holds planters, sprayers, and smaller implements out of the weather. A 40-foot unit fits a full set of harvest tools, spare parts, and bulk chemical containers side by side. Dairy and livestock producers store veterinary supplies, fencing materials, and mineral blocks in dedicated containers near their barns.
Because storage containers are portable, you can place one at the edge of a field during planting season and move it when the work shifts. That flexibility matters on a working farm where needs change month to month.
Container Sizes for Homes, Farms, and Businesses
We carry three standard sizes. Each one is inspected for structural soundness and cleanliness before it leaves our yard.
10-foot containers fit tight spaces. They work well next to a garage, in a side yard, or on a small residential lot. Use them for personal belongings, apartment moves, or workshop overflow.
20-foot containers are our most popular rental size. They hold enough for a mid-size home move or a moderate commercial project. Most farms start here for seasonal equipment storage.
40-foot containers provide the most space per dollar. They handle large-scale moves, full construction site setups, and heavy farm equipment. If you need room for a combine header, cattle panels, and feed supplies in one unit, this is the size.
Rent, Buy, or Rent-to-Own a Shipping Container
Every customer’s timeline and budget are different. We offer three ways to get a container:
Rent a shipping container when you need storage for a set period. Rentals work well for remodels, seasonal inventory, or short-term farm storage. You pay monthly and we pick it up when you are done.
Buy a shipping container if you want permanent on-site storage. Owning a container lets you add modifications like roll-up doors, insulation, or electrical without worrying about a lease term.
Rent-to-own if you want to spread the cost over time. Start with rental payments, then convert to ownership after a set period. This option keeps your upfront costs low while building toward full ownership.
We stock both new and used containers at our Ellendale yard. Used units cost less and still deliver years of solid service.

Mini Storage Containers for Smaller Jobs
Not every project calls for a full-size unit. We carry compact mini storage containers for lighter loads and tighter spaces.
Mini containers work for:
- Seasonal decorations and sporting gear
- Temporary overflow during a move or downsize
- Students storing belongings between semesters
- Hobbyists with tools or materials that need a dry, secure spot
These units are portable, rodent-resistant, and just as weatherproof as our full-size containers. Keep yours on-site or at our yard.
Custom Modifications for Containers
Our team builds custom container modifications to match your exact needs. We can turn a standard unit into a workshop, mobile office, or climate-controlled storage space.
Common modification options include:
- Roll-up doors and man doors for easier access
- Shelving and interior storage racks
- Custom paint and exterior finishes
- Ventilation and insulation for temperature control
- Electrical wiring, lighting, and outlets
Farmers have used modified containers as on-site chemical storage buildings. Contractors use them as lockable tool cribs. Retailers have turned them into pop-up shops. Tell us what you need and we will build it.
