Why Minneapolis Businesses and Depots Choose Spinnaker

Minneapolis sits at a critical crossroads of North American rail, road, and freight logistics. As demand for on-site and off-site bulk storage containers in Minneapolis continues to grow across manufacturing, agriculture, cold chain, and third-party logistics, the need for a reliable, high-volume container supplier has never been greater.

Spinnaker Leasing & Equipment has served container depots, freight operators, and commercial buyers in the Minneapolis metro for years, providing consistent access to large inventories of certified, inspection-ready containers. Our clients source by the lot, building depots, or fulfilling intermodal supply contracts. That’s the business we’re built for.

As the largest North America-based specialized new container provider, Spinnaker brings institutional-scale purchasing power, a global supply network, and dedicated commercial account management to every transaction. We combine the container access of a global lessor with the responsiveness of a regional partner.

Container Types Available in Minneapolis

Spinnaker’s Minneapolis-area inventory includes a comprehensive range of container types to match the operational requirements of any buyer or lessee. All containers meet ISO intermodal standards and are available in new (one-trip) and certified used (cargo-worthy) conditions.

20-Foot Standard Containers

The industry’s most versatile unit. Our 20-foot standard dry containers are ideal for high-density cargo, depot stacking, and intermodal transfer operations. With an internal volume of approximately 1,170 cubic feet and a maximum payload exceeding 47,000 lbs, these units are the backbone of any bulk container inventory. Available new or used, in single or high-volume lots.

40-Foot Standard Containers

Spinnaker’s 40-foot standard containers offer double the floor space of a 20-foot unit and are the preferred choice for logistics operators, storage depot operators, and businesses that need to maximize cubic capacity per unit deployed. Our 40-foot inventory is available at scale, with consistent grading and documentation across the lot.

20-Foot High Cube Containers

For applications where height matters but a smaller footprint is preferred, Spinnaker offers 20-foot high cube units. These containers are increasingly sought after by storage depot operators and custom container builders needing maximum internal volume in a compact format.

40-Foot High Cube Containers

At 9’6″ in exterior height (a full foot taller than a standard container) high cube units are the go-to choice for bulk storage of light, voluminous goods and for operators building modular storage systems. Spinnaker’s 40-foot high cubes are sourced to IICL specification and available in both new and used-grade options, with lot pricing for qualifying buyers.

Refrigerated Containers (Reefers/Frigotainers)

Spinnaker’s refrigerated container inventory (including our proprietary Frigotainer units) serves cold chain operators, food distributors, pharmaceutical logistics companies, and agricultural businesses across the Minneapolis region. Available in 20-foot and 40-foot configurations, our reefer units are equipped with advanced refrigeration systems and are fully inspected prior to delivery. Bulk reefer procurement and fleet leasing arrangements are available for qualifying operators.

Double-Door Containers

Double-door containers (also called tunnel containers) feature cargo doors on both ends of the unit, allowing drive-through access and significantly faster loading and unloading cycles. For depot operators managing high-throughput inventory, and for logistics providers that need to access goods without repositioning the entire load, double-door units are a proven operational upgrade over standard single-door containers. Spinnaker supplies 20-foot and 40-foot double-door containers in both new and used cargo-worthy grades, available in volume lots for qualifying buyers.

Open-Side Containers

Open-side containers replace the standard corrugated steel panels on one or both long sides with full-length swing doors, providing unrestricted lateral access to the entire container interior. This configuration is purpose-built for cargo that is too wide, too long, or too irregularly shaped to load efficiently through end doors, including machinery, lumber, construction materials, and large-format industrial equipment.

New Containers for Sale & Lease (One-Trip)

All new Spinnaker containers are delivered in one-trip condition. New units are sourced directly through Spinnaker’s manufacturing relationships and are ideal for buyers who require documented condition, maximum longevity, and a clean CSC plate.

Used Containers for Sale & Lease (Cargo-Worthy Grade)

Spinnaker’s used container inventory is rigorously inspected and certified cargo-worthy prior to sale or lease. Used units offer substantial cost savings versus new while maintaining the structural integrity and weatherproof performance required for active depot and storage operations. As-is inventory is also available for buyers seeking maximum value on non-operational or modification projects.

Sales and Leasing for Businesses and Depots

Spinnaker Leasing & Equipment operates at the intersection of container sales and container leasing, offering commercial structures that match the way our clients actually do business.

• Bulk Container Sales: Acquire containers by the lot with consistent grading, documentation, and delivery coordination. Spinnaker works with container depots, self-storage operators, logistics companies, and industrial buyers that need reliable supply at volume.
• Fleet Leasing: For businesses that prefer not to tie up capital in owned assets, Spinnaker’s leasing division offers flexible terms across new and used container fleets. Lease structures can be tailored to short-term operational needs or long-duration fleet commitments, with options to purchase at lease end.

All commercial terms are negotiated directly with Spinnaker’s account management team. There are no intermediaries, no hidden fees, and no minimum order thresholds for qualified buyers.
