Common Uses
Shipping containers are one of the most versatile structures available. In Medicine Hat and across southern Alberta, buyers use them for a wide range of applications:
On-Site Storage
Secure, lockable storage on construction sites, farms, and acreages.
Workshop Conversion
With insulation, electrical, and lighting — a container becomes a functional workspace.
Container Office
Site offices, sales offices, and remote work locations built from a standard 20ft unit.
Custom Projects
Pop-up retail, guest cabins, hunting camps — containers are endlessly adaptable.
Why Buy From Railside?
Buying a container online from an out-of-province seller involves significant risk — condition misrepresentation, hidden transport costs, and no local recourse if something is wrong. When you buy from Railside Storage, you're dealing with a Medicine Hat business that's been here since 2012.
- ✓Inspect the container in person before you commit
- ✓Inspect units on-site before you buy — we do not provide container transport
- ✓Honest condition grading — we describe what we sell
- ✓Post-sale support — we're not going anywhere
- ✓14x Best of Medicine Hat — a reputation built on trust
Current Availability — Call for Stock
Container inventory changes frequently. Rather than maintain an online listing that may be out of date, we recommend calling us directly at (403) 928-5311 to check what's currently in stock.
We can tell you immediately what sizes are available, whether they're new or used, and quote the container price. Transport from our yard is not included — you arrange your own hauler or equipment. No waiting for email callbacks — just a direct answer from the team at Railside Storage.
Not Ready to Buy? Try an Offsite Rental
If you need a container temporarily — for a renovation, a construction project, or a move — our offsite storage rental may be a better fit. Rent an 8×20 unit at our Medicine Hat facility on flexible month-to-month terms — no purchase commitment.
Many customers start with a rental and end up buying when they realize how useful a permanent container is on their property. Either way, Railside Storage has the right option for you.
