When you own a business or manage one, it's crucial to have efficient, affordable ways to store inventory and supplies, whether it's to grow your business or adapt to changes in the market, like the many caused by the pandemic.

Renting portable offices gives your business more workspace, breakrooms, pop up stores, security booths and more, without the cost and red tape associated with constructing building additions.

If you have a specific need, we can modify shipping containers to build whatever you need to grow your business. Whether it's a portable workspace to run your business, like a pop-up container bar, or a durable facility for scientific research, like a container laboratory, or even a container gym, our unrivaled fabrication facility and modification experts got you covered.

We offer flexible, month-to-month rental agreements and prorate by the day after your first 28-day billing cycle.
With us, you get a dedicated account manager you can rely on, so you can focus on running your business than waste time with a different person every time you call that doesn't know or care as much.
While other companies may have some staff for modifying containers, most outsource the work, so you don't know who is actually doing the modifications or how much they're marking up the price.

When you modify a shipping container for your business, you won't have to worry about expensive, lengthy and complicated construction.
We have modified thousands of containers nationwide and internationally for more than 25 years for NASA, US Navy, GCP Applied Technologies, Helix and Sundt to name a few. And rent containers to Amazon, Walmart and many of other nationally recognized brands.
Our extensive staff makes it possible to custom build multiple projects simultaneously and our 90,000 sq ft indoor fabrication facility prevents contaminants from interfering with fabrication, which delivers better quality and precision.

HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE US TO RENT, BUY OR MODIFY A SHIPPING CONTAINER FOR YOUR HOME:

With an extensive in-house staff and 90,000 sq ft container modification facility, we're able to deliver consistently high quality and work on multiple projects simultaneously for a fast turnaround.

Other companies don't have the facility, staff or resources to modify shipping containers and will outsource the work to various shops who may not have the special experience or tools needed to modify the right way.

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.

Our ISO shipping containers are weatherproof and come with vault-like security, so you don't have to worry about theft or damage to your belongings.

You won't get that level of security from U-Haul or other moving truck companies.

Renting a storage container at your home keeps your belongings close and gives you convenient 24/7 access, so you're always able to retrieve the contents of your container when you need to.

We know move in and move out dates don't always line up. We can store your packed rental container at our secure facility until your new home is ready.

With our mobile storage containers for rent in Catalina Foothills, AZ, you can save up to 40% when compared to full-service long-distance movers, while gaining more flexibility in your schedule.

Renting storage containers and portable offices from us gives you more flexibility when it comes to your schedule and options. If you don't have enough space at your current location or simply would prefer offsite storage, you can keep your rental storage and office containers at your location or ours - whichever is most convenient for you. You also get more options to choose from when it comes to size and features, like portable offices with divided rooms for private meetings or office/storage combos for storage and office space in one container. All while costing a fraction of the price of a pod or self-storage facility.

You can also buy new or used freight containers from us and choose from a variety of add-ons, including lights, electricity, doors and windows. Or fully customize a shipping container to save time, money and energy by skipping the expensive, lengthy process of constructing building additions. We can modify a Conex box into whatever you can imagine for any use you need, from construction tool cribs to office buildings, monitoring stations, mobile communication towers and much more. The possibilities are endless.

HERE'S HOW WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK:

You'll never face hidden fees or surprises with us. We give you transparent billing up front at the best prices.

With us, you get a reliable, dedicated point of contact, who keeps you updated every step of the way. You can rest assured knowing you'll always get what you need, when you need it.

No other company has the breadth and depth of staff and experience that we do when it comes to modifying shipping containers. Our certified welders, engineers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters and painters have more than 500 years of combined experience in fabricating custom steel containers.

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.

TUCSON, Arizona — Reilly Clark effortlessly scores basket and after basket at a recent Catalina Foothills girls basketball practice.

"She's a walking bucket," said head coach Jake Martinez. "I tease her when she walks in the gym that the nets just start making noises."

Now a senior, Clark missed most of her junior season with a broken arm. She was all set to play her final seasons with fellow guard Katie Burns.

"She's my best friend," said Clark. "She's been my point guard since I was six or seven years old."

"She's my best friend," said Burns. "My ride or die." I'd do anything for her."

However, last summer, as the two made plans for their senior season, Burns tore her ACL.

"There were a lot of tears," said Clarke. "I was heartbroken."

"It was devastating," said Burns. "I felt like my whole life was in shambles because I couldn't play the game I loved."

"There were a lot of tears," said Martinez. "There was a lot of frustration. "We just said, 'This is what we have to do.' And, we stared rebuilding.

"For me, I kind of dedicated this season to her, personally," said Clark. I wanted to do it for her, this year, the way she did it for me, last year."

Clark became the AIA class 5A Southern Region Player of the Year. Other players took on added roles, and the team responded to Martinez, who's in his first season as head coach. Still, something was missing.

"I wanted to get back because it's my senior year, and I wanted to get back to what I loved as soon as I could," said Burns.

Burns continued her rehabilitation. Then, on senior night, Burns was introduced as a starter, as she stepped on the court for the first time this season.

"Getting back was a mission," said Burns. "I'm so happy to be back."

Just seconds after the opening tip, Burns passed to Reilly for the game's first score. Reilly still wears a brace for extra stability. They're practicing for Wednesday's class 5A state semifinal game Tuesday at Canyon View. The Flacons haven't reached this far since their 1997 title winning season.

"Just hearing you say that gives me the chills," said Martinez. "The number 97 up there looks a little lonely and I'd love to add some digits to that this year if it's possible."

After nearly a month of thrilling games all over the state, the Arizona girls’ high school basketball playoffs wrapped up this weekend with four championship games at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Here are the top performers from those tournaments, from the inaugural Open Division all the way down to 1A:

Open

Jerzy Robinson, Desert Vista

Here’s a scary thought: Imagine Jerzy Robinson as a senior, three years from now. Robinson was already outrageous as a freshman. She had 21 points and nine rebounds despite sitting most of the fourth quarter in Saturday’s championship game blowout over Millennium. In the semis, she dropped 32 on Xavier Prep.

Shay Ijiwoye, Desert Vista

Ijiwoye’s stats might not blow you away, because Desert Vista splits the scoring throughout its rotation. But her playmaking throughout this postseason was key to the Thunder’s success. She’s one of the silkiest players in Arizona.

Elli Guiney, Millennium

Guiney’s 20-point first half against Perry in the semis was a stunning display. Everything that came off her hands seemed to fall, helping lead Millennium to the Open’s most surprising upset. In the championship, Desert Vista had to center its defensive efforts on her to stop the Tigers.

Khamil Pierre, Perry

Pierre wasn’t at her showstopping best against Millennium, but she still scored a team-high 21 points to go with 14 rebounds. That came one game after she scored 38 in the quarterfinal against Pinnacle.

Dominique Nesland, Xavier Prep

Nesland finished her season having scored in double figures in all but one contest. She averaged 18.3 points and 5.0 assists in Xavier Prep’s run to the semis.

Aiyanna Perkins, McClintock

No. 21 seed McClintock’s dream run ended in the Open quarters, but Perkins produced some heroic performances to get that far. She scored 20, 42 and 26 in the Chargers’ three upset wins.

Taliyah Henderson, Salpointe Catholic

Henderson had three straight double-doubles to lead Salpointe to the Open quarters, where its season ended at the hands of Desert Vista. Normally, that type of run is the domain of post-players. Henderson did it as a ball-handling wing.

Mia Singstock, Pinnacle

It was a quietly dominant season for Singstock, who averaged 19.4 points per game. The Open was no different, as she scored 31 in the first round and then followed that up with performances of 22, 21 and 23.

6A

Olivia Arvallo, Valley Vista

Arvallo had a nice postseason from start to finish, but her shining moment came in the final seconds of the 6A championship game. That’s when she went alone, driving coast-to-coast to scoop home an acrobatic layup and give Valley Vista its fourth-straight title.

Ahdiayh Chee, Dobson

It takes a special player to post a career-high on the biggest stage they’ve ever played in. That’s what Chee did in the quarterfinals against Mountain Ridge, when she scored 29. She also had a team-high 17 in the championship loss to Valley Vista.

Savanna Creal, Hamilton

Creal averaged 17.8 points per game in Hamilton’s first four games across the Open and 6A playoffs. She eventually helped lead the top-seeded Huskies to the 6A semis.

Meisha Caserio, Gilbert

Caserio scored 15 and 17 in the first two rounds of the 6A playoffs. The latter was particularly impressive as it came in a thrilling 51-50 upset win over Sandra Day O’Connor that sent Gilbert to a surprising semifinal appearance.

5A

Mackenzie Dunham, Sunrise Mountain

Dunham’s impact in the 5A title game can’t be overstated. When she was off the floor due to foul trouble, Canyon View went on a 24-10 run. When she was on the floor, Sunrise Mountain led, 42-23, just enough to eke out a five-point win. Dunham finished with 13 points and 20 rebounds.

Mackenzie Nielsen, Sunrise Mountain

Nielsen’s 3-point shooting was the perfect complement to Dunham’s interior presence on Sunrise Mountain’s run. She finished her career with 14 points in the championship game.

Jaila Flowers, Canyon View

Flowers led Canyon View with 14 in the championship, but her most impressive outing came in the semifinals when she scored 30 in a 72-62 win over Catalina Foothills.

Reilly Clark, Catalina Foothills

In the same game in which Flowers scored 30, Clark dropped 32. She averaged 23.0 per game in the playoffs.

4A

Bella Burcar, Flagstaff

Burcar — the daughter of NAU men’s coach Shane Burcar — had an incredible freshman season, averaging 12.6 points per game. She scored a team-high 19 in the championship game win over Pueblo.

Victoria Cazares, Pueblo

Cazares capped a fantastic career in style, scoring 27 in the championship game and nearly leading Pueblo to the first championship in school history.

America Cazares, Pueblo

Pueblo will miss Victoria Cazares next year, but the Warriors are in good hands with her younger sister, America, who scored 18 in the championship game. She was one of the best freshmen in the state all season and capped her campaign off by averaging 15.4 in the playoffs.

Small schools

Jenieth Sanchez, Alchesay

Much like No. 8 seed Alchesay did as a team, Sanchez seemed to find her groove in the playoffs. After averaging just over 10 points per game on the season, she led the way with 18 in the 3A championship game, helping the Falcons to a second-straight title.

Aila Kaibara, Phoenix Country Day

Kaibara scored an efficient team-high 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting in the 2A championship game, helping PCDS to its first title in 23 years.

Olivia Owens, Phoenix Country Day

Owens, meanwhile, was the rebounding force for the Eagles. She had 33 total rebounds in the final three rounds, while also adding a scoring punch with 17 in the championship.

Ashlynn Chlarson, Pima

Despite Pima’s losing effort, Chlarson was the star of the show in the championship game, scoring 29 points. She scored at least 20 in three of four playoff games, averaging 21.8.

Anna Begay, Rock Point

Begay’s biggest outing came in the semis, when she scored 36 in a win over St. Thomas. She then followed that up with a tidy 13 to help Rock Point claim its second 1A championship in a row with a 49-45 win over Joseph City.

Lady Wranglers win two of five games in tourney

Sun CorrespondentFirst, it was junior Emma Wayas’ second-inning, three-run home run that launched the Lady Wranglers to a 15-2 victory against Thunderbird in their tournament opener. Then it was sophomore Maleigh Colvin’s dramatic grand slam home run to secure the Lady Wranglers’ 6-2 extra-inning victory to eliminate Lee Williams of Kingman in their Purple Bracket opener Saturday. Colvin attempted to do it again Saturday afternoon when she doubled home two runs for a 4-2 lead in the final inning of the Purple Brack...

Sun CorrespondentFirst, it was junior Emma Wayas’ second-inning, three-run home run that launched the Lady Wranglers to a 15-2 victory against Thunderbird in their tournament opener. Then it was sophomore Maleigh Colvin’s dramatic grand slam home run to secure the Lady Wranglers’ 6-2 extra-inning victory to eliminate Lee Williams of Kingman in their Purple Bracket opener Saturday. Colvin attempted to do it again Saturday afternoon when she doubled home two runs for a 4-2 lead in the final inning of the Purple Bracket semifinals against Snowflake.And then, of course, there was junior pitcher Daisy Smith who pitched 16 innings, struck out 29 batters and posted a 2-2 record (both one-run losses coming against the same team — Snowflake) through the weekend.Those were the highlights of the Wickenburg High School girls softball team that won two of their five games last weekend in their own 19th Annual Wrangler Classic tournament, which included 17 other teams.The Lady Wranglers opened the tournament late Thursday afternoon with a 15-2 victory against Thunderbird; lost to eventual Purple Bracket champion Flagstaff Friday morning, 16-0; came up short against 3A Snowflake Friday afternoon, 6-5; eliminated 4A Lee Williams 6-2 in an extra inning Saturday; and surrendered a two-run lead in the final inning to eventual Purple Bracket runner-up Snowflake, 5-4.The tournament was set up with three six-team pools, with the top eight teams from the Thursday and Friday pool games advancing to Gold Bracket play on Saturday and the remaining 10 teams in the field competing in the Purple Bracket. Empire, out Vail in Southern Arizona, eventually won the Gold Bracket trophy against Lake Havasu while long-time tournament participant Flagstaff (17 years) captured the Purple Bracket crown.Other Gold Bracket teams included Catalina Foothills of Tucson, Shadow Ridge of Surprise, Liberty of Peoria, Sahuarita of Southern Arizona, River Valley of the Bullhead City area, and Page.The other Purple Bracket participants were Round Valley of Eastern Arizona, Thunderbird of Phoenix, Desert Heights of Glendale, San Manuel, Monument Valley, Lee Williams of Kingman, Salome, Snowflake and Wickenburg.It started with the Lady Wranglers’ thorough rout of a larger school in Thunderbird of Phoenix — rallying behind eight hits at the plate and Smith’s three-hit gem from the pitching circle. Wayas’ three-run blast highlighted a 10-run rally in the third inning, and Colvin gave a preview of her offensive production still to come with a four-for-four performance from the batter’s box that produced four runs. Smith helped secure her first pitching victory of the tournament by going two-for-three with the bat and driving in two runs.Flagstaff no-hit the Lady Wranglers through three innings in the second pool contest, with Coach Keith Peterson giving Smith a break from pitching duties and using mostly reserves in other positions to give them some game experience.Wickenburg’s girls then gave up six early runs to Snowflake through the first two innings in their final pool game, but Wayas ignited a three-run rally in the third inning with a run-scoring single and later scored the third run of the frame.They pulled to within one run of the Lobos in the fourth inning when Wayas singled home two more runs, but that rally was cut short of a tie in the time-limited battle.Smith finished her three innings of work in that one, allowing six runs on six hits while striking out four and walking two.That loss left the Lady Wranglers holding down fifth place in their six-team pool standings and they opened bracket play against the larger school Lee Williams of Kingman.With Smith in the pitching circle again, Coach Peterson’s girls grabbed an early lead with one run in the first inning and another in the top of the fourth. However, Lee Williams tied the score at 2-2 with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth to force an extra inning after the predetermined time limit.Sophomore Ariel Sprecher started a fifth-inning rally with a walk and advanced on Smith’s single and senior Maddalyn Peterson’s walk to load the bases for Colvin’s dramatic grand slam.Still, the Lady Wranglers needed to hold off the Lady Volunteers in the bottom of the inning … and Smith did that with her 10th strikeout of the game.Duplicating its win against Lee Williams, Wickenburg’s girls again scored early in their second meeting against Snowflake in the bracket semifinals.Sprecher doubled and eventually scored to start the game, and then Smith walked and scored on Colvin’s single in the top of the third inning to give the Lady Wranglers a familiar 2-0 lead — only to see Snowflake tie the score in the bottom of the fourth, again forcing an extra inning after time expired.Colvin resumed her hitting heroics with a two-run double in the top of the extra inning, but Snowflake rallied for three runs in the bottom of the frame on two Wrangler defensive errors to qualify for the Purple Bracket championship game against eventual winner Flagstaff.Coach Peterson said he used the tournament to develop some of his lesser-experienced players in preparation of more important 3A North Central Region games that begin next week. For instance, he said, a couple of his planned regular starters will miss a few region games, so he’ll need some of his back-up starters to step up.The Lady Wranglers will host Winslow at 3:45 p.m. today (Wednesday, March 8) and then will travel to Florence the next day before beginning region play against visiting Bourgade Catholic at 3:45 p.m. next Monday, March 13.
