What are the 20ft storage container dimensions and weight?
A standard 20ft storage container measures about 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8.5 feet tall, the same footprint you will see on any storage container rental in Woodbury, and comparable in scale to a 20 yard dumpster rental sitting on the same lot. Empty, it weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 pounds depending on steel gauge and whether it is a cold storage container or a standard dry box. Loaded, weight depends entirely on what you put inside, so check your site's ground bearing before you commit to a spot. If 20ft feels tight for a full renovation, look at the 40ft storage container instead, since it doubles your floor space on the same delivery truck. Woodbury contractors running a kitchen remodel or a roofing job usually find 20ft covers tools, fixtures, and staged materials without crowding a driveway. Compare that against a mobile office trailer rental if you need a desk and heat, not just steel walls, since the container itself has neither.
How much does a 20ft storage container cost to rent?
Monthly pricing for a 20ft unit typically lands between 100 and 250 dollars, with most Woodbury customers paying closer to the middle of that range for a standard dry box. Delivery is billed separately and depends on distance and access. Below is a rough breakdown by duration for planning purposes.
| Duration | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| One month | $100 - $250 |
| Multiple months | Ask for a term rate |
| Delivery fee | $120 - $420 |
Longer rentals bring the per-month cost down, and a full storage container rental cost breakdown covers what changes the number, including site distance and container condition. Woodbury Porta Pros quotes delivery based on your actual address, not a flat citywide number, since a container heading to a job near Cottage Grove, 8.1 miles south, costs differently to move than one staying inside city limits, and the same distance math applies whether you're comparing our porta potty rental cost or a container quote.
Can I get a 20ft mobile office container with a trailer?
Yes, some 20ft units come mounted for towing, which matters if you need the box to follow equipment between sites rather than sit fixed on one lot, much like a restroom trailer rental that relocates as a job progresses. A 20ft mobile office container with trailer setup still needs a stable, level surface once parked, per the same ground rules as any stationary unit. If your project moves between locations, ask about scheduling relocation ahead of time rather than after the container is loaded. For crews juggling both a jobsite office and a storage need, pairing a container with a mobile office trailer rental covers both without doubling delivery trips. Woodbury sites near Oakdale, 7.1 miles north, or Maplewood, 14.3 miles northwest, are within normal delivery range without extra mileage charges, though anything past our standard radius gets quoted separately.
Woodbury building projects also tend to need more than just storage. If you are running a renovation with a crew on-site daily, pair the container with a portable toilet rental sized for your crew count under OSHA 1926.51(c), or a roll-off dumpster rental for debris that would otherwise eat your container space. A 10 yard dumpster rental handles most single-room jobs, while a temporary fence rental secures the whole footprint if the container and dumpster are both sitting in a driveway near the street.
How long can I keep a 20ft storage container on my property?
There is no fixed limit from us; rentals run month to month and extend as long as you need. Check whether your Woodbury property sits under any placement restriction before delivery, since municipal rules vary by lot and zoning, the same way our porta potty placement guide covers siting rules for restrooms.
Does a 20ft storage container need a permit in Woodbury?
Sometimes, depending on placement and duration. Confirm with the city before delivery if the container will sit in a driveway visible from the street or stay longer than a few weeks. See our porta potty permit requirements page for how we handle permit questions generally.
What is a 20ft cold storage container?
A cold storage container is a refrigerated unit, useful for produce, catering, or event food service rather than tools and equipment. It costs more than a standard dry box due to the refrigeration unit and power draw, and pairs well with event planning the way a festival restroom rental or wedding restroom rental supports catering needs on site. Ask us directly for cold storage availability and specs, or check request a quote to get pricing alongside any other equipment you need.
Can I place the container myself or does Woodbury Porta Pros position it?
We position it during delivery based on your access and the ground surface. Tell us your preferred spot in advance; we will confirm it works for the delivery truck, which needs a straight approach similar to what a roll-off dumpster rental requires.
What else do I need for a construction site besides storage?
Most active sites also need construction site services like restrooms, a dumpster, a handwashing station rental for crews handling materials, and sometimes a light tower rental for early or late hours. Ask us to bundle a container with the rest of your setup in one visit, and check our FAQ or about pages if you want more on how Woodbury Porta Pros handles multi-equipment deliveries.
