Rent or Buy Shipping Containers in Fort Worth, TX
Texas State Modular rents and sells converted shipping containers for Fort Worth job sites, shops, and events. We build conex offices, restrooms, guard shacks, and break rooms. Then we deliver them and set them up.
Our yard sits at 9120 Sally’s Way in Alvarado, about 26 miles south of downtown Fort Worth on I-35W. When you call, you reach a locally owned and operated team and one project manager. See recent units in our container and modular project gallery.
Shipping container rentals and sales in Fort Worth
Every conex unit is available to rent or to buy. The right choice depends on how long the space stays in place.
- Rent when the job has an end date. Build-outs, seasonal work, and short events fit here. See what drives rental costs in Texas before you budget.
- Buy when the unit stays for years or moves with your crews. With minimal maintenance, a conex unit stays functional for more than 25 years.

Custom container conversions for Fort Worth sites
A stock container is a steel shell. We convert it to fit the job. Common add-ons:
- Electrical outlets and lighting
- HVAC for heating and cooling
- Plumbing and integrated half-baths
- Windows for natural light
- Walk-through doors and roll-up doors
- ADA decks, ramps, and steps for safe entry

Conex offices, restrooms, and guard shacks in Fort Worth
Here is what we build and deliver for Fort Worth sites:
- Conex office units sit at ground level. They work as site offices, sales offices, or private meeting rooms.
- Conex restroom units have flush toilets, stainless steel fixtures, and slip-resistant floors. They need no weekly pump-outs.
- Guard shacks and security booths staff gates and entry drives. We build them from containers too.
- Modular break rooms give crews a climate-controlled place to rest.
- Secure storage keeps tools and equipment locked up on unattended sites overnight.
Container office or mobile office trailer?
A conex office wins on security and ground-level entry. A trailer wins on floor space per dollar.
- Pick a conex unit for a small crew, tools on site, or a post that stays for years.
- Pick mobile office trailers for private offices and meeting space. Our in-stock fleet runs from 160 to 1,920 square feet.
- Pick modular buildings for rent when you need classrooms or a larger multi-section space.

Where Fort Worth sites put container units to work
Fort Worth has more than 1 million residents, and site conditions change from one district to the next. Here is how the units match local work.
Alliance and north Fort Worth (76177, 76244)
AllianceTexas is a 27,000-acre hub built around Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport and the BNSF Alliance Intermodal Facility. In November 2025, the city approved the new 1,400-acre Alliance Logistics District there. Most sites reach it from I-35W or SH 170.
Warehouse sites here see heavy truck traffic. A guard shack at the gate checks each truck. A conex office gives the build team a secure base.
Downtown and the Near Southside (76102, 76104)
Lots are tight downtown and around the hospitals just south of it. A trailer needs steps and a long ramp run beside it. A ground-level conex unit needs neither, so it fits where laydown space is short.
The Stockyards and Northside (76164)
The Stockyards host rodeos, concerts, and festivals near Exchange Avenue. Conex restroom units rent for a single event. They bring flush toilets and climate control that portable toilets lack.
South Fort Worth
South-side sites sit closest to our Alvarado yard. I-35W and the Chisholm Trail Parkway both serve this side of the city. The parkway is a 27.6-mile toll road that runs from downtown Fort Worth to Cleburne.

Container delivery and site prep across Fort Worth
I-35W links our Alvarado yard to downtown, Loop 820, and Alliance. Most other sites sit off I-30 or I-20.
Conex units sit at ground level. They need no foundation, only a firm, level surface. A compacted gravel or concrete pad works well.
Walk the delivery path a week ahead and check:
- Gate width and the truck’s turning path
- Low branches and overhead power lines
- Ground firmness after rain, since North Texas clay softens when wet
- The power run, plus water and sewer if the unit has a restroom
Loads wider than 8 feet 6 inches need a TxDMV oversize permit. Our guard shack delivery guide covers Texas transport limits in more detail.
We review your site before delivery. As a full-service general contractor, we also handle site prep, foundations, parking lots, and utility connections.
Fort Worth permits for container offices and job trailers
Most commercial sites in Fort Worth need permits before a unit goes into service. The city’s Development Services department issues them.
- New units. A new accessory structure on a commercial site needs a building permit. Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits come after it.
- Moving a unit. Moving a portable office or job trailer inside city limits needs a Commercial Moving Permit.
- Plan ahead. The city’s online CFW Permit Assist tool scopes a project before you apply.
Getting permits is part of our turnkey general contractor services. We work through the city process so you are not chasing paperwork yourself.
What Texas State Modular builds in Fort Worth
We build commercial workspace from containers and modular units. That covers offices, restrooms, break rooms, guard booths, and secure storage.
We are not a moving-pod service. For a household move, a pod company is the better call. For workspace or secure storage on a Fort Worth site, we are a strong fit.
Why Fort Worth teams choose Texas State Modular
- One project manager. You keep one contact from quote through setup.
- A yard on I-35W. Units ship from Alvarado, 26 miles south of downtown, not from another state.
- Turnkey service. We handle permits, site prep, and utility hookups.
- Built for Texas. We design units for Texas weather, codes, and terrain.
- Flexible terms. Rent or buy the same unit, and ask about relocation or trade-ins later.

Fort Worth shipping container FAQs
Do you deliver shipping containers anywhere in Fort Worth?
Yes. We deliver across Fort Worth from our Alvarado yard, including Alliance, downtown, the Near Southside, and the Stockyards. Delivery cost depends on the distance from the yard.
Do I need a permit for a container office in Fort Worth?
Usually, yes. A new unit on a commercial site needs a building permit. Moving a job trailer inside city limits needs a Commercial Moving Permit.
We get permits for you as part of our turnkey service.
Does a conex unit need a concrete slab?
No. A conex unit sits at ground level on a firm, level surface, such as compacted gravel or a concrete pad. We can add decks or ramps if your site needs them.
Can I rent a conex restroom for one Fort Worth event?
Yes. We rent restroom units short term for weddings, concerts, and expos. We also place them long term on construction sites. Our team handles delivery, setup, and support.
Can you move a unit we already own to a new Fort Worth site?
Yes. We move, remove, and sell units you own, and we offer trade-ins. A move inside Fort Worth city limits needs a Commercial Moving Permit.
How fast can you deliver to a Fort Worth job site?
Timing depends on the unit and the work it needs. In-stock units move fastest. Call us with your dates and we will give you a real timeline.
