20ft storage container dimensions run about 8 feet 6 inches wide and roughly 8 feet 6 inches tall, with steel walls built to stack and ship. South Suffolk Porta Pros handles 20 foot storage container rental and 20 ft storage container rental by the month, and 20ft storage container price sits in the same band you will see below.
Monthly rental for a 20ft box typically runs in a set range, and delivery is billed separately depending on distance and site access. Check storage container rental cost for a fuller breakdown before you commit to a term. South Suffolk job sites near Franklin, about 23.8 miles west, and Smithfield, about 22.7 miles north, usually pay a bit more in delivery than sites closer to town, since fuel and drive time factor into that fee.

If you need something bigger for a full renovation crew, the 40ft storage container page covers the larger option, and mobile office trailer rental is worth a look if you need desk space, not just steel walls.
How much does a 20ft storage container weigh matters before delivery day: an empty 20ft steel container weighs several thousand pounds on its own, and that 20ft storage container weight figures into driveway load limits and soft ground. South Suffolk soil near the water table can get soft after rain, so ask about placement before delivery day. A roll-off delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set a container down safely, and that same clearance rule applies whether you are dropping a storage box or a roll-off dumpster rental on the same site. Tight lots in older parts of South Suffolk sometimes cannot give a truck that much room, so measure your access lane before you order. If space is genuinely too tight, a smaller footprint container or a 20ft storage container placed at the curb line instead of deep in a lot usually solves it.
Yes, some 20ft units come outfitted as office space with a hitch-ready trailer base, useful for supervisors who need a desk on site rather than just dead storage. If your crew needs both storage and a place to review plans, pair the container with a mobile office trailer rental instead of trying to make one box do both jobs. For cold-sensitive materials, a 20ft cold storage container is a different unit entirely, insulated and refrigerated rather than a bare steel shell, and it is worth specifying which type you need when you call. Either way, delivery access rules stay the same: enough straight clearance behind the truck, and solid ground under the drop point.
Construction crews renting storage alongside construction site services in South Suffolk often stack a container next to a temporary fence rental perimeter, which keeps tools locked up and the site secured under OSHA 1926.25 housekeeping expectations for clearing debris from work areas. If your crew also needs restrooms on the same lot, portable toilet rental and standard porta potty rental cover that separately, sized against OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) worker counts.
Most renters in South Suffolk keep a container for a month at a time, though longer terms are common on multi-phase builds. Pricing is billed monthly, not daily, so a short one-week need usually costs more per day than committing to a full month upfront.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, so call South Suffolk before setting anything at the curb. On private property, rules vary by lot, and checking porta potty permit requirements as a reference point for how these approvals typically work is a reasonable first step.
Interior space runs close to the exterior footprint of roughly 8.5 feet wide, minus wall thickness, giving usable room for pallets, tools and furniture. It is smaller than a 40ft storage container, which suits bigger renovation or commercial moves.
A loaded container is heavy, and soft or cracked pavement can shift under that weight. Crews walk the drop site first, and gravel or a solid pad reduces risk. Ask about ground conditions during your request a quote call.
Storage containers are billed monthly, not by the weekend, so a short move is usually better served by a roll-off dumpster rental or a short-term 20ft storage container term if you only need a few days of holding space.
