We sell new and used containers, deliver them quickly, and offer custom modifications for offices, storage, industrial use, and more.
Whether you’re in Winnipeg, Brandon, Steinbach, Portage la Prairie, Thompson, Kenora, Thunder Bay, Dryden, Fort Frances, Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Fort McMurray, Regina, Saskatoon, Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Abbotsford, Victoria, Kelowna, Kamloops, Nanaimo, or surrounding towns, Cantrans Containers delivers reliability, quality, and transparency Canadians expect.
Every container is inspected, certified, and ready for your unique needs.
Understanding Used Containers
Not all used containers are equal. We categorize them into three types:
- “As-Is” / Damaged Containers
- Cheapest option, often with holes, broken floors, or hard-to-operate doors
- Cannot go overseas, sold final with no returns
- Wind and Watertight (WWT) Containers
- Structurally sound with no holes
- Doors may be rusty or hard to open
- Suitable for local storage, construction, or farms, but not for overseas shipping
- Cargo Worthy (CW) Containers
- Fully inspected, repaired, and certified to go overseas
- Hinges lubricated, floors and cross members repaired
- Slightly more expensive but reliable and safe
Always confirm the type of container before purchase.
Understanding New Containers
Even new containers differ in quality and features. Look for:
- Ventilation: Prevents moisture buildup
- Forklift pockets: Four-side pockets for easy lifting
- Lockbox: Protects your lock from tampering
- PU-coated floors: Protects plywood from snow, ice, and rain
At Cantrans Containers, we provide premium new containers built for Canadian winters and industrial use.
Custom Container Modifications
We specialize in modifying containers to meet your unique needs:
- Mobile and site offices
- Roll-up doors and personnel doors
- Electrical wiring and interior lighting
- Bathrooms or washrooms
- Spray foam insulation and plywood finishing
We serve industries across Canada including construction, mining, hydro, winter roads, and retail, in Winnipeg, Brandon, Steinbach, Thompson, Kenora, Thunder Bay, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Vancouver, and surrounding towns.
Modifications are fast — often same-day or next-day delivery.
