20′ Shipping Containers for Sale in Atlantic Canada
Local inventory. Clear pricing. No delivery surprises. Sea Can Guys makes it easy to get the container you need, exactly when — and where you need it.
Why 20′ Containers Are So Popular (and Hard to Find)
Compact, secure, and easy to transport, the 20′ shipping container is the go-to choice for contractors, homeowners, businesses, and off-grid builders alike. Its smaller footprint makes it perfect for driveways, job sites, and seasonal properties across Atlantic Canada.
But there’s a catch supply is tight. Because containers don’t circulate through Atlantic ports in high volume, finding one when you actually need it can feel like chasing a moving target.
That’s where we come in.
At Sea Can Guys, we keep real inventory — not vague listings — in our local yards throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland. If it’s listed, it’s here. And it’s ready to go.

No Hidden Delivery Fees Just Clear, Local Pricing That Works
We’ve heard the stories: you find a good price, sign the deal, and then get hit with crane fees, driveway access charges, or fuel surcharges that double your total cost.
We don’t operate like that.
At Sea Can Guys, every quote is reviewed for your specific site and delivery path. That means:
We assess your access road, driveway space, and offload conditions
We determine whether you need tilt-deck or crane delivery
We include everything in your quote — no “extras” hiding behind fine print
And for island or remote locations (hello, Newfoundland), we’ve got a proven system to plan ferry logistics, staging, and weather windows.

Individually inspected and rated
Photographed in detail — inside, outside, flooring, doors
