A 20ft storage container runs about 20 feet long by 8 feet wide, with roughly 8.5 feet of height, and holds around 1,170 cubic feet. Coon Rapids Porta Pros stocks these for job sites, moves and cold storage needs, with storage container rental cost running inside the measured monthly bands most renters see, and a storage container rental can be paired with other equipment for a full site setup.
An empty 20ft steel container typically weighs somewhere in the 5,000 pound range once you account for standard construction, though exact tare weight varies by manufacturer and condition. Loaded weight depends entirely on what goes inside it, so a unit packed with tools and equipment sits far heavier than one holding seasonal inventory. That matters for site planning in Coon Rapids, especially if the container sits on soft ground after a spring thaw or gets placed near a driveway apron, so check our service areas page if you're near the edge of our delivery zone. Coon Rapids Porta Pros checks placement before drop-off so the ground can carry the load without settling or rutting. If you are comparing this unit against a 40ft storage container, remember the larger box weighs more empty and needs a longer, flatter delivery path. For jobsites already running a construction dumpster rental or a roll-off dumpster rental, we coordinate container and dumpster placement together so neither blocks the other's access.
Standard dimensions run 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, about 8.5 feet tall on the exterior, with a door opening close to that width for easy pallet or equipment loading. That footprint fits most residential driveways and job-site staging areas around Coon Rapids without eating the whole lot. Compare that against a 20ft storage container versus a 40ft storage container before you commit, since doubling the length changes both delivery clearance and where it can sit on a tight urban lot, much like sizing a 10 yard dumpster rental against a 20 yard dumpster rental for the same reason. If you are staging a renovation, a home renovation porta potty alongside the container keeps crew sanitation covered without a second delivery trip. Some renters also want a mobile office trailer rental parked next to the container so paperwork and supplies live close together on site, and a nearby handwashing station rental covers crew cleanup between trips in and out.
Monthly storage container rates run in a measured band, and picking the right term matters more than most renters expect.
| Unit | Duration | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Storage container | Month | $100 to $250 |
That range covers standard 20ft units; a 20ft cold storage container, with refrigeration built in, costs more due to the added equipment and power draw, so ask when you request a quote. Delivery adds a separate fee depending on distance and site access, and a 20ft mobile office container with trailer setup carries its own delivery consideration since it needs a different drop path than a standard box, similar to how a restroom trailer rental needs its own level pad. Coon Rapids Porta Pros delivers within Coon Rapids and out to towns like Anoka, 5.8 miles northwest, and Andover, 6.9 miles north, without extra hassle. For contractors juggling multiple rentals, pairing a container with a temporary fence rental secures the whole staging area, and a light tower rental keeps it visible and lit after dark. If your project also needs restrooms, our portable restroom rental page covers OSHA 1926.51(c) toilet ratios for crews working near the container, and our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math for larger crews.
Empty units generally weigh in the low thousands of pounds depending on the manufacturer, with loaded weight varying entirely by contents. We check ground conditions in Coon Rapids before delivery so the unit sits level and doesn't sink into soft soil, especially after heavy rain, the same way we plan clearance for a dumpster sizes and dimensions delivery.
Most run 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and about 8.5 feet tall, with a door wide enough for pallets and standard equipment. That footprint works well for driveways and tighter job-site lots without blocking access lanes.
Yes, cold storage units add refrigeration for perishables or temperature-sensitive materials. They cost more than a standard box due to the equipment, so confirm pricing and power needs when you request a quote through Coon Rapids Porta Pros.
Yes, some configurations pair a storage container with a trailer for combined office and storage use. Delivery access needs vary from a standard drop, so mention this setup when scheduling so our crew plans the right approach.
Rentals run by the month, and longer terms are common for ongoing construction or seasonal storage, much like a monthly porta potty rental works for extended crews. Contact us through request a quote or visit our contact page to lock in dates for your Coon Rapids site.
