When space is tight but security and durability are non-negotiable, the 10-foot shipping container delivers big performance in a small footprint. At Ream Can Inc, we consider the 10-footer a powerhouse of possibility—ideal for residential storage, urban job sites, small business inventory, or creative builds that turn a standard steel box into something extraordinary.

Dimensions & Capacity

Despite its compact exterior, a 10ft container swallows an impressive amount of material—think the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, a full workshop of tools, or a season’s worth of retail inventory.

What Makes the 10ft Container So Popular?

• Tight-Space Friendly: Fits into driveways, narrow laneways, and small commercial lots where a 20ft or 40ft unit simply won’t go. Delivery is often easier and requires less heavy equipment.
• Residential Storage Hero: Whether you’re renovating, decluttering, or moving, a 10ft container keeps your belongings dry, secure, and accessible right on your property.
• Contractor’s Best Friend: Perfect for holding power tools, materials, and site supplies on residential builds or infill projects where larger containers would block access.
• Pop-Up Potential: A favourite for mobile coffee bars, ticket booths, market stalls, and tiny retail spaces. It’s small enough to be transported on a standard flatbed trailer and transformed with windows, counters, and paint.
• Modular Building Block: When paired with other 10ft units, they can create clustered workspaces, tiny home pods, or expandable storage compounds.

Condition Options

We stock 10ft containers in two main grades, so you only pay for the condition that matches your needs:

• One-Trip (New Appearance): These units have completed a single cargo journey. They look nearly factory-fresh—clean paint, smooth floors, tight seals, and rust-free panels. Choose one-trip if appearance matters (retail, customer-facing builds, or backyard placement in a residential area).
• Wind & Watertight (WWT): Our most economical option. These used containers may show cosmetic wear—scratches, dings, surface rust—but are guaranteed structurally solid, leak-free, and equipped with fully functioning double doors and locking gear. Perfect for site storage, industrial use, or any application where function beats form.

Every 10ft unit is inspected by our team before it goes out. We take real photos of the exact container you’re buying, so there are never any surprises.

Standard Equipment & Security

• Double swing-out cargo doors at one end with locking bars and heavy-duty padlock protectors.
• Marine-grade plywood flooring (steel floors available on request).
• Corner castings for lifting, stacking, or securing.
• Forklift pockets for easy on-site repositioning.
• High-security lock box kits available as an add-on.

Custom Modifications

Need something more than a steel box? Our Edmonton modification facility can transform a 10ft container into:

• A fully insulated site office with a personnel door, window, and electrical package.
• A climate-controlled storage unit for temperature-sensitive goods.
• A street-ready food or retail kiosk with serving hatch, lighting, and custom paint.
• A secure tool crib with internal shelving, lockable interior cages, and ventilation.

Modifications are built to code and backed by our craftsmanship warranty.

Delivery Across Canada

Ream Can Inc ships 10ft containers to your address from our multiple depot locations across the country. Because of their size and weight, 10ft units can often be delivered with a flatbed truck and offloaded using a smaller forklift or tilt-bed trailer—meaning easier access to tight residential sites. We’ll provide a firm delivery quote and work with you on scheduling, ground conditions, and placement.
