Shipping Containers for Oilfield & Mining Operations

Remote oilfield and mining sites need storage solutions that can handle the conditions — extreme temperatures, long haul roads, high-value equipment, and tight timelines. Mobile-Stor has been delivering containers to the Bakken, the Powder River Basin, and Montana's mining country for years.

Our steel containers arrive job-ready and can be modified to meet the specific demands of oil & gas and mining operations: additional venting, custom shelving, personnel access doors, and more. We know these sites, and we know how to get there.

Common Questions

Can you deliver to Watford City or Williston ND?

Yes — both Watford City and Williston are on our regular delivery routes. We also serve the broader Bakken region including McKenzie and Williams counties.

Can containers be modified for chemical or hazardous material storage?

We can add ventilation, drip containment floors, and secure lockboxes. For specific regulatory requirements, we recommend discussing your needs before ordering so we can ensure the right configuration.

How do containers hold up in North Dakota winters?

Very well. Steel shipping containers are designed to survive ocean transport, which means they handle wind, snow loading, and temperature extremes reliably. Reefer containers are available if you need active temperature control.
