Any Way You Want It Moving & Storage delivers shipping containers to Faribault, MN from our Ellendale container yard. The yard sits about 33 road miles south of town. That is about a 40-minute drive up I-35.
You can rent, buy, or rent-to-own new and used storage containers in 10, 20, and 40 foot sizes.
We have sold and rented steel boxes in this part of the state since 1997. Call (800) 542-0036 or request a free container quote. We will price it for your address.
Faribault Container Delivery From Our Ellendale Yard
Our Ellendale yard is at 3598 State Hwy 30, just off I-35. The route to Faribault runs straight north through Owatonna and Medford. That keeps delivery simple and avoids long detours on county roads.
Our drivers also reach homes and job sites across the rest of Rice County. We deliver to:
- Faribault and farms off Highways 3, 21, and 60
- Northfield and Dundas to the north
- Lonsdale to the northwest
- Morristown and Warsaw to the west
- Nerstrand to the east
We use tilt-bed and side-loading trailers. A tilt-bed slides the container onto open ground. A side-loader lifts it into tighter spots, like a narrow driveway or fenced lot.

How Much Space Your Container Needs
A 20-foot container needs a flat spot about 8 feet wide and 22 feet long. A 40-foot unit needs about twice that length. The truck also needs a clear, straight approach and open overhead space.
Look up before you pick a spot. Power lines, tree limbs, and gutters can block a drop. Our guide to what happens on delivery day covers truck room and spring road limits.
Shipping Container Rental in Faribault
A rental works best when you need storage for a set project or season. You can rent by the day, week, month, or year. When you finish, call us and we pick the container up.
Faribault customers often rent a container for:
- Home remodels, roof jobs, and flood cleanups
- Moves, including staged moves between two homes
- Seasonal retail stock or holiday inventory
- Event gear for school, church, or fair season
Our shipping container rentals page explains terms and options. Not sure if you want to keep it? Rent-to-own lets you apply a rental toward buying the unit later.
New and Used Shipping Containers for Sale in Faribault
Buying makes sense when you need storage for more than a year. You own the unit, so you can move it, modify it, or resell it.
We sell both new and used containers:
- New containers, often called one-trip units, have made one cargo trip or none. They have clean walls and fresh paint.
- Used shipping containers cost less. They show dents and faded paint, but stay wind and watertight.
You can visit the Ellendale yard and pick the exact unit you want. Our guide to new versus used shipping containers breaks down the tradeoffs. When you are ready, see how to buy a shipping container from us.
Conex Container Sizes for Faribault Projects
Many people in Faribault call these units conex containers or conex boxes. The name means the same steel storage box.
Standard units are 8 feet wide and 8 feet 6 inches tall. We also offer 9.5-foot high-cube units.
Pick the size that fits your space and your load:
- 10-foot containers fit small lots, side yards, and tight commercial spaces.
- 20-foot containers are our most popular size. They hold a mid-size home move or a contractor’s tool crib.
- 40-foot containers hold big loads of stock, farm gear, or job site tools.

Portable Storage in Faribault for Contractors, Plants, and Farms
Faribault is the county seat and largest city in Rice County. Many jobs there come from factories, food plants, and builders. Portable storage helps each one in a different way.
Contractors and Job Sites
Builders need safe storage close to the work. A steel box with locking doors keeps tools and supplies safe at night. Our tips on securing construction site storage cover locks and placement.
Manufacturers and Warehouses
Faribault has a large industrial park along I-35. Plants use containers for extra parts, boxes, and seasonal stock. A container adds room without a new building.
Need a site office or workshop? Ask about container modifications like roll-up doors, windows, shelves, and insulation.
Rice County Farms
Rice County had 1,111 farms and nearly 250,000 acres of farmland in the 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture. Growers there store seed, feed, parts, and small equipment in containers near the barn or field. Read more about farm storage with shipping containers.
Faribault Rules for Storage Containers on Your Lot
Check local rules before you place a container. Faribault city code (Sec. 6-180) does not allow shipping containers as a permanent shed on a home lot.
The code does allow short-term storage pods for remodels and moves:
- Up to 6 months without a zoning certificate
- Up to 1 year with a zoning certificate or a building permit
Business lots follow other rules. Land outside city limits falls under Rice County or township zoning. Call Faribault Planning and Zoning at 507-334-0100 to confirm the rules for your lot.
Once you know the rules, we will help you plan where the container goes.
Why Faribault Customers Choose a Local Container Yard
Some online sellers are brokers. They take your order and ship a box from a depot you never see. We own our yards and our trucks.
Here is what that means for you:
- You can inspect your container in person before it ships.
- Our own drivers handle delivery and pickup.
- You talk to the same local team from quote to pickup.
- We have served Minnesota customers since 1997.
