Thinking Outside (and Inside) the Box! 📦

Looking for a storage solution that doesn’t involve driving across town to a sketchy, overpriced facility? Whether you’re a farmer prepping for harvest, a local business running out of warehouse space, or a homeowner trying to hide a decade’s worth of "projects," Route 40 Equipment Rental has you covered.

Here is why a high-quality shipping container is the ultimate space-saver:
💰 Buying is an Investment
Think a shipping container is just a metal box? Think again. Buying a container is an investment that holds its value incredibly well. They are wind-resistant, water-tight, rodent-proof, and practically indestructible. Plus, if your needs change down the road, the resale market for these units stays incredibly strong. It’s an asset, not an expense!

🏢 Renting is Smart Business
Need temporary, secure, on-site storage without the long-term commitment? For local businesses and job sites, our rental containers are the most cost-effective solution on the market. We bring the portable storage straight to you, keeping your inventory or equipment safe, dry, and right where you need it.
🚚 Locally owned and operated right here in Effingham, Illinois!

Route 40 Equipment Rental: Because hiding your junk in the garage is temporary, but our steel boxes are forever." 😉

Campus Renovations: Over the past decade, colleges have increasingly used portable storage containers for on-site storage during construction and renovation. Metal containers are typically preferred because they:
1) offer larger capacities favored by contractors;
2) are more durable and secure; and
3) provide superior long-term weather resistance.
On-site containers reduce costs and logistics by avoiding off-site storage and eliminating extra packing and transport time, and they allow items to be returned on the institution’s schedule rather than that of an external provider. 20’ & 40’ units available.
