Popular Shipping Container Uses in the Albany Metro Area

The Albany metro area is a major tech hub on the East Coast and a nationwide leader in technology products and services. Therefore, we work with many tech companies to provide temporary and permanent office space and climate-controlled storage. As home to the state government, local municipal organizations often require shipping containers to use as gatehouses, field offices, storage units, and meeting spaces at job sites.
