About Container Trader
Built by people who move containers.
We believe buying and selling shipping containers should be simple, transparent and reliable. Our marketplace was built by people with decades in the container and transportation industries.
Our story
Container Trader wasn’t built by software developers who have never handled a container. It was built by people who have spent decades in the container and trucking business.
Those years gave us an extensive network of industry contacts and a deep understanding of how the container market works. We founded Container Trader LLC to bring those connections together in one place.
Whether you’re buying a single storage container, stocking inventory for your dealership or managing sales across multiple locations, our goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Buying, selling and moving containers
