About Dames Point Equipment
Containers, trailers and equipment, shipped direct to you
From a single storage container to a fleet of equipment trailers, we help homeowners, contractors, farms and businesses across the US get the right unit, inspected before listing and shipped direct to their site.
Simplicity and reliability define us
At Dames Point Equipment, our goal is to be a simple and reliable single source for all your container and trailer needs. We offer fast, accurate online pricing and ordering, so you can quickly find the unit that fits your storage or hauling needs. We are an online dealer based in Jacksonville, FL. We buy used containers and trailers from private owners and storage yards, inspect each unit, carry out any needed repairs, photograph it and list it. Each one ships directly from where it is located. Parts are stocked at our small Jacksonville location, where you can pick up or buy parts in person during business hours.
Because we do not run a large sales yard, we keep our costs low and pass the savings on, with free delivery in Florida, a flat $600 delivery fee to other states, and easy and convenient ways to pay.

Where Our Units Come From
Bought From Private Owners and Storage Yards
Dames Point Equipment does not manufacture containers or trailers. We buy one-trip and used units from private owners, storage yards and other sellers, inspect them, carry out any needed repairs, and resell them to you.
We inspect and photograph each unit ourselves before listing it, so we can list it with its real grade, condition and photos. It then ships directly from where it is located to your site. Parts are bought from established distributors and ship free anywhere in the 50 states.

Buying vs Renting
The Benefits of Owning Your Container
Whether it is for commercial or personal use, owning a shipping container has clear advantages over renting one for a set time. When the container is yours, you can modify, alter and transform it into a long-lasting, reliable space built around you, your family, your work or your business.
We stock accessories to help you do that, including windows, vents, locks, doors, shelves and divider walls. Not sure what you need? Ask us.
How Containers Get Used
A Highly Customizable Steel Box
Shipping containers are built to protect and move cargo, and that makes them useful well beyond shipping. Our customers buy them for agriculture and farming, construction, mining, moving and storage, retail, staging, real estate, and industrial, commercial and residential projects.
More small businesses and individuals are buying containers because they are affordable and dependable. We see customers store inventory in them and turn them into offices, pop-up shops, garages and even single-family homes. When you plan a modification, it helps to set aside the usual uses and think of a container as a highly customizable big steel box.
