You can rest assured knowing your custom container is safe in our hands. Our certified weld and quality control inspectors ensure everything is structurally sound and built to your specifications through every step of the process.
Renting a moving container from us makes your move much less stressful because you won't have to rush to pack your whole house into a moving truck in one day. Instead, you can take your time packing over the course of a month.

We prorate your rent by the day after the first 28-day billing cycle, so you don't have to pay for a full month when you only have your mobile containers and offices for a few days.
While other companies may be able to do small container modifications, most don't have an in-house fabrication staff or 90,000 sq ft fabrication facility like we do. As a result, they outsource the work on your custom container, so you don't know who's actually building it.
Rest assured knowing your modified shipping container will be built to the highest quality standards. Our certified weld and quality control inspectors check every step of the fabrication process to ensure everything is structurally sound and built to your specifications.

Do you need to keep your shipping container at our location? Prefer to have our team deliver your packed container to a location of your choice? Let us know, and we'll be by your side to work out the logistics.
Let our team know where we should deliver your mobile storage container for rent in Wheat Ridge, CO. Be sure to let us know if there are any special conditions that might prevent our drivers from entering your chosen destination. Before you schedule your delivery, let us know which direction you would like the doors of your container to face.
Our drivers can deliver your storage container Monday-Friday, between the hours of 6AM and 2PM local time. Our two-hour delivery window is the most precise in the industry. If you desire another delivery time outside of our standard delivery options, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. As a courtesy, our driver will call you at least 30 minutes before they arrive at your drop-off destination.
Before we deliver your Conex box, prepare your delivery area by ensuring that there are no low overhangs, arches, wires, trees or any other obstacles that could interfere with your delivery. It's a good idea to mark the space where you would like your steel container placed.
When our driver arrives, they will back our truck into the space where you would like your shipping container placed. Once we arrive, we will ensure that your container is delivered safely and securely. If placed on asphalt or pavement, we will use wood dunnage pads to make sure your ground surface is protected and the container is level.

The demand was big: $5 million to unlock Wheat Ridge’s municipal data and computer systems seized by a shadowy overseas ransomware operation.
The response was defiant: We’ll keep our money and fix the mess you made ourselves.
“The city has made the determination not to pay a ransom,” Amanda Harrison, a Wheat Ridge spokeswoman, said this week. “The city’s IT professionals are working diligently to restore files stored within the city’s network from viable backups.”
But the decision not to play ball with the digital thief, who the city describes as a “foreign agent” likely from Eastern Europe, was not an easy one. It took three weeks from the Aug. 29 cyberattack for Wheat Ridge to determine that it had adequate redundancies and the know-how to put its databases and systems back into operation without the help of the hackers, who demanded payment in a hard-to-trace cryptocurrency known as Monero.
Following the attack, Wheat Ridge had to shut down its phones and email servers to assess the damage the cybercriminals had done to its network. That, in turn, prompted the city to close down City Hall to the public for more than a week.
Things have slowly returned to normal since the intrusion, with the help of the FBI. Harrison said the city “is prepared to inform any residents, businesses, and employees if it is determined their personal information was compromised. That aspect of the investigation is still ongoing.”
Wheat Ridge is the second Colorado municipality to recently get knocked offline by a relatively new ransomware attack known as BlackCat, which cybersecurity experts characterize as particularly pernicious and aggressive. BlackCat is encoded with a more stable and robust programming language, called Rust, that is harder for system administrators to detect.
Fremont County, southwest of Colorado Springs, was a BlackCat victim last month and its website is still down more than a month later.
“This has been a mess,” said Mykel Kroll, manager of emergency services for Fremont County. “It affected all of our county systems.”
Some county employees, he said, have been sent notifications about potential data compromise. On Monday, the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office posted online that its inmate accounting systems “have been deemed unrecoverable” because of the ransomware attack. That means any money that may have been added to a prisoner’s account following the Aug. 15 attack “has been lost.”
“The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office will honor deposits made to an account after the inmates’ last known balance with proof of a receipt for the transaction,” the sheriff’s office said in its posting.
Brandi Wildfang Simmons, a spokeswoman for the Governor’s Office of Information Technology, said her agency has been working with Fremont County to clean up the mess wrought by BlackCat.
“The state deployed resources to Fremont County for five weeks to assist with this incident from both an emergency management and security perspective,” she said. “We have alerted counties, municipalities and agencies throughout the state so they can take the necessary steps to protect against the BlackCat ransomware variant.”
Ransomware is malicious computer code that can be inserted into an organization’s computer network, where it encrypts — or locks up — files and databases. Typically, payment of a ransom is demanded to unlock the seized data. Cyber thieves can gain access to a network by tricking employees into downloading an infected file or revealing sensitive information.
BlackCat, which first appeared in November, has been implicated in an attack on OilTanking GmbH, a German fuel company, along with aviation firm Swissport. Last month, a BlackCat perpetrator claimed to have stolen “700 gigabytes of data from networks controlled by Italy’s GSE energy agency,” according to a report from Bloomberg.
Closer to home, the servers of Suffolk County on New York’s Long Island, was hacked by a BlackCat actor last week. The thieves leaked some of the files they had obtained — containing personal information of residents — and threatened to publish more unless the county paid them off.
Neither Fremont County nor Wheat Ridge will say how their systems were infiltrated, though Harrison said Wheat Ridge doesn’t suspect that it was due to “employee error.” Like the Denver suburb, Fremont County has no intention of paying off the thieves, Kroll said.
“There will be no ransom paid,” he said.
Simmons, with the state, said organizations are discouraged from paying ransoms to hackers.
“Federal and state guidance is to not pay the ransomware demand as it funds cyberterrorism, perpetuates cybercrime, and entities are not guaranteed they will get their systems back online or regain access to their data,” she said.
But the ability to withhold payment comes down to the nature of the attack and the data stolen. In 2019, Regis University in Denver paid an undisclosed sum to cybercriminals who had infiltrated its network and ground operations to a halt. A year later, Lafayette paid $45,000 to ransomware hackers to restore its network.
City spokeswoman Debbie Wilmot said after the attack, Lafeyette “deployed additional cybersecurity systems, implemented regular vulnerability assessments, and initiated additional security protocols.”
It also sent some of its IT folks down to Wheat Ridge for a day to help the city with its intrusion, Wilmot said. Harrison, the Wheat Ridge spokeswoman, said the city has taken several steps to increase security — two-step verification is now required on all electronic devices used by city employees and monitoring software has been implemented across its systems.
Simmons said those are all good steps but she’s under no illusion that they will stop the most dogged of cybercriminals, especially as hackers’ tools become more sophisticated and sneaky.
“Are we worried?” she said. “Yes, we are always on guard because in the world of cybersecurity, it is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ entities will come under attack from hackers.”

Wellness rooms have access to massage tables and linens, zero gravity reflexology chairs, facial steamers, hot stones, Thai mats, a fully equipped yoga studio, chairs and tables for workshops and classes.

Historic Denver, Inc., a 53-year-old nonprofit, recently named John Deffenbaugh as its president and CEO.

Deffenbaugh recently worked for the RiNo (River North) Art District as senior director of strategy and projects. He also served as executive director of Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods (CHUN) in 2022 and 2023. Deffenbaugh is a Denver East High School alumnus.
“John is a dynamic leader and a thoughtful urbanist with a passion for historic preservation and community engagement,” said John Lucero, chair of the Historic Denver Board of Trustees, in the release. “We are thrilled to bring him on to lead our organization at this pivotal time in our city.”
Andrea Burns has served as Historic Denver interim president and CEO since January and will stay on through May to support the transition.

Denver is full of local hidden gem boutiques and Christmas markets that can help anyone work their way through their Christmas list this year. My favorite shop for eclectic gifts is eXtraOrdinary (XO) Gift Co., with a location on Tennyson Street and another in Wheat Ridge.
I came across XO Gift Co.’s Tennyson store when I was dropping off a package next door and needed a thoughtful card to go with it. There seemed to be something for everyone there, and I couldn’t stop myself from picking up an extra tea towel and hat with funny sayings that were perfect for my friends.
XO Gift Co., which Kat Furr opened in 2013, offers handmade, upcycled and unusual gifts from vendors around the country, with 50 percent of the products made in Colorado. There’s artisan jewelry, quippy tea towels and mugs, Colorado sweatshirts and hats, baby clothes and toys, plants, pillows and art.
Furr said the most popular item right now is a craft cocktail mix with which you can infuse your alcohol. I am a big fan of the baby section, since my new nephew was born in October and he absolutely needed a Colorado onesie.
The XO Gift Co. at 3483 Tennyson St. will close in January so Furr can focus on the store she opened this month in Wheat Ridge’s new Gold’s Marketplace development, which includes other local vendors like Live Slow Brewing, Esters Neighborhood Pub and Rich Spirit Bagels.
XO Gift Co. is currently at 3843 Tennyson St. in Denver and at 10071 W. 26th Ave. in Wheat Ridge’s Gold’s Marketplace. Visit xogiftco.com to check out the shop’s selections.
