Rent or Buy?
Rent for renovations, moves, and anything under about a year. Buy for long-term storage, acreage, and job-site boxes you'll reuse — a used container typically pays for itself versus a storage unit in a couple of years, and it's still yours afterward.
Delivery Across the Black Hills
We deliver to Rapid City, Box Elder, Black Hawk, Summerset, Piedmont, Sturgis, Spearfish, Hill City, Keystone, Custer, Hot Springs and the country in between. Tight site? Send us a photo — we'll tell you before the truck rolls whether it fits. Need the spot leveled first, or a gravel pad or concrete pad under it? Our site crew handles that in the same trip schedule — something no container dealer in the region can offer.
Custom Container Buildings
We don't just sell containers — we build with them. Framed openings, siding, insulation, interiors, full container structures set by crane on prepared foundations. If you're picturing a container shop, cabin, office, or hunting camp in the Hills, we've built them, and the photos below are our work. Tell us what you're picturing and we'll quote the whole thing — site to structure.
What to Check Before You Buy a Used Container
Doors that swing and seal, floors without soft spots, corten steel without rust-through, and honest condition grading ("cargo-worthy" vs. "wind and water tight" mean different things). We walk every unit with you — in person, in Rapid City — before money changes hands.

“Black Hills Property Solutions did an outstanding job on my epoxy chip floor with a custom flake blend. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and paid close attention to every detail.”
★★★★★

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a shipping container cost in Rapid City?+
Used 20-foot containers run around $X,XXX and 40-foot units around $X,XXX, with delivery priced by distance. Rentals start at $XXX/month. Prices move with the container market — call for today's exact numbers.
Do you deliver, and how far?+
Yes — we deliver across Rapid City and the Black Hills, including Box Elder, Black Hawk, Summerset, Piedmont, Sturgis, Spearfish. The truck needs a reasonably level spot and swing room; we'll talk through your site on the phone before we schedule.
Will a container handle a South Dakota winter?+
Better than any shed. Containers are corten steel built to cross oceans — snow load, wind, and hail are light duty. For temperature-sensitive storage, ask about insulation and ventilation options.
Do I need a permit or a pad for a container?+
Rules vary by city and county — some areas are fine with temporary placement, others have zoning notes for permanent ones. We know the local rules and will flag anything your site needs. For a permanent installation, we can also grade the spot or pour a pad.
Rent or buy — which makes sense?+
Renting wins for anything under about a year (renovation, move, seasonal business inventory). Buying wins for long-term storage and job-site boxes you will use again. We sell and rent, so we will tell you straight which math favors you.
Can you modify containers?+
Ask us — doors, windows, shelving, vents, and lock boxes are common requests. Tell us what you are trying to build and we will quote it.
