Absolutely. Many Fort Knox customers use 40-foot containers as business storage — tools, equipment, inventory, and contractor supplies. The steel construction is weather-tight, rodent-proof, and the 24/7 access fits any work schedule. Popular with oil field workers, plumbers, electricians, and landscapers throughout Vernal and the Uintah Basin.

A standard car or small truck can fit inside a 40-foot container, though this limits the space available for other items. For vehicle storage, Fort Knox also offers outdoor parking spaces for cars, trucks, RVs, boats, and campers — often a more practical option. Call James at 435-828-7710 for availability.

Yes! Fort Knox also sells 20ft and 40ft shipping containers. Whether you need one for storage on your property, a job site, or another use, contact James to check current inventory and pricing.

Yes — and this is the #1 reason Vernal residents choose Fort Knox. Fort Knox uses all-steel shipping containers with no wood framing, no drywall, and no gaps. Unlike traditional storage buildings throughout Uintah County where mice, rats, and insects are a known problem, Fort Knox containers are fully sealed steel. There is simply no entry point for rodents or pests.

This makes Fort Knox the safest choice for storing furniture, clothing, electronics, documents, and anything else that can be damaged by pests.

Every unit at Fort Knox has 24/7 fire detection alerts. Unlike most Vernal storage facilities, which have limited or no fire monitoring, Fort Knox steel containers are also inherently fire-resistant — steel does not burn. The fire detection system alerts management immediately, day or night.

Each renter receives a personal access code — only you can access your unit. The facility is gated and well-lit. As a locally-owned business, James is on-call 24/7 and personally monitors the property. Steel containers are also significantly harder to break into than standard storage units with roll-up doors.

Yes. The all-steel sealed construction that makes the containers mouse-proof also keeps spiders and other insects out. This is another common concern in rural Utah that Fort Knox solves simply by using steel shipping containers instead of wood-frame buildings.

Yes — 24/7, 365 days a year. Fort Knox has no restricted access hours. You'll receive a personal code that unlocks the facility at any time of day or night. This is especially important for oil field workers, CDL drivers, and contractors in the Uintah Basin whose schedules don't follow a 9-to-5.

James Richards, the owner and manager, is available 24/7 by phone at 435-828-7710. Because Fort Knox is locally owned, you're always calling the actual owner — not a corporate call center. James can answer questions, set up rentals, and handle any concerns at any hour.

In most cases, yes. Fort Knox typically has immediate availability and the move-in process is simple — call James, choose your size, sign the agreement, get your code, and start moving. Call 435-828-7710 to check current availability.
