Containers

Our Containers

At Top Gun Storage Solutions we provide an innovative, industry changing alternative to standard storage facilities. We will offer capacity on demand, security, value, and safety. We are the home of PICK YOUR OWN Container!

  • Structural integrity is inherent in the container. They are manufactured using 14 gauge steel with a thickness of 1.9mm. This is important to understand as a similar storage unit uses 28 gauge steel with a thickness of .38mm, making our material 5 times thicker than that of a standard storage unit.

  • These containers are designed for some of the harshest environments and to be stacked in columns as many as twelve units high.


  • We continually stock 40'HC, 40'ST, 45'HC, and 20'ST containers on our lot at any time. We have access to odd sizes as required. We welcome all of our customers to come PICK your own container. We do not give you a promise of "first one off the stack" like most of our competitors. We purchase, modify, refurbish, and repair containers. When selecting a container provider, make sure you can visit their location and demand to pick your container. We place the best units on our lot so you know exactly what you are paying for...not a promise from a stranger to get a quality offering from a depot that you are NOT allowed to visit. 


  • In the event of a catastrophic circumstance such as a fire, it is highly unlikely the blaze would travel to an adjacent container. In 1977 the USCG conducted a series of tests. These tests concluded that “a fire inside a container (regardless of cause) will not inflict very much harm on the container in question and certainly not on adjacent containers.” Each unit is independent of the next. The tests backed up the theory that shipping containers can contain their own fire. Experts in the industry consider this revelation a good thing from the perspective of 5,000 shipping containers stacked on a container ship. This means that the whole thing won’t go up in smoke! By looking at the construction and design of our development, one can understand why these findings will provide similar fire security in our business. There are two 14-gauge steel walls between each set of goods, greatly minimizing the risk of fire damage from one unit to the next while offering our customer a greater sense of security when considering our location for storage of their most treasured items.


  • We provide multiple levels of security on location. The site has 24 hour video monitoring with the ability to log in and view the facility via an app on anywhere in the world. The units have their own built in security with the 14 gauge steel. It would take a significant effort with a cutting torch to penetrate each unit’s skin. 

  • “Capacity on demand” is an idea that came to me when evaluating the problem of “right size at the right time” Our solution has several factors. First, we can increase or decrease size as needed within days and not months.

  • As we grow and require additional space, we add more containers in a matter of weeks and not months. We have the ability to deliver a container on property in 5-7 business days. One week for fabrication and we have another 320 sqft available to meet our customers needs. In contrast, a standard building takes 4-6 months from the planning phase, permitting, material delivery, and labor contracted. We significantly reduce or eliminate the lack of space problem.

  • The second way we meet “capacity on demand” is quick delivery times for our off site customers. We often provide same day or next day service to our clients as weather and accessibility allows.
