Cactus Containers is Texas-owned, has been in business three years, and has delivered more than 7,000 containers. Decatur handles a mix that reflects the area: contractor and job-site storage for the Metroplex, residential storage on acreage, and horse-property work such as tack room conversions. Sizes run from compact site boxes to 40ft high cubes, in new (one-trip) and cargo-worthy used condition, plus open-side units and office conversions.
Containers leave the FM 51 yard on a tilt-bed truck and get set exactly where you want them. Freight is priced by distance from Decatur, which is why the Metroplex, Denton County and Wise County hauls stay short.
West or north of here? The Midland yard covers the Permian Basin and the Amarillo yard covers the Texas Panhandle. Order from the closest yard — that is where the freight is cheapest.
