A 20ft storage container runs roughly 160 square feet of floor space, about 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet tall, and it works for tool storage, overflow inventory or a jobsite lockbox in Waldorf. Waldorf Porta Pros delivers them ready to load, no assembly needed.
An empty 20ft steel container weighs somewhere in the range of a few thousand pounds depending on the manufacturer and condition, and that empty weight matters for anyone planning a driveway or gravel pad delivery. Waldorf Porta Pros checks ground conditions before drop-off because a loaded unit adds significant weight on top of the container itself. If you are stacking heavy inventory or equipment, tell the crew ahead of time so they can flag it. Homeowners doing a home renovation often pair a container with a roll-off dumpster rental for the same driveway, so weight planning covers both units at once. For jobsites already running a construction dumpster rental, the container usually sits alongside it, and our crew coordinates placement so neither delivery blocks the other. If your site has tight access, mention it when you request a quote.
Interior dimensions leave room for pallets, shelving units, small equipment or several months of seasonal inventory, and most customers in Waldorf use the space for tools, furniture during a move, or extra materials during a build. Compare that to a 40ft storage container if you need double the length for a larger crew or a longer project. Pricing for a 20ft unit typically falls in the range shown below, and monthly terms are the most common way people rent.
| duration | typical range |
|---|---|
| month | $100 to $250 |
Full detail on how those numbers break down by term length lives on our storage container rental cost page. If you need a rolling office instead of pure storage, a mobile office trailer rental covers that, and some Waldorf contractors book both a container and a trailer for the same site. For general container specs and delivery logistics, start at storage container rental.
Yes, and it is common on active jobsites where crews need a workspace plus separate storage. Waldorf Porta Pros can coordinate a container delivery alongside a mobile office trailer rental so you get lockable storage and office space on the same lot. Delivery trucks need clearance to maneuver, similar to the roughly 60 feet of straight clearance a roll-off truck needs behind it, so tell us about gates, overhead wires or tight turns in Waldorf before the truck arrives. Sites near Brandywine, about 6.9 miles north, or Bensville, 6.6 miles west, often have longer gravel driveways that make backing in easier than tighter in-town lots. We also handle temporary fence rental around a container and office combo if the site needs perimeter security, and a chain link temporary fence is the usual choice for that.
Cold storage is available on a case by case basis for anyone asking about a 20ft cold storage container for perishable inventory or job materials sensitive to heat. Ask about that option directly when you call, since not every unit in the fleet is climate controlled.
Most Waldorf customers rent by the month, and terms run from a single month through open-ended arrangements for ongoing projects. Shorter terms are possible for moves or short renovations. Ask about your specific timeline when you request a quote, since availability shifts with the season.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. For most driveways and private lots this is not an issue, but check with Waldorf before placing a unit on a street or shared easement. Our porta potty permit requirements page covers the same right-of-way question for portable restrooms.
The 20ft unit gives roughly half the floor space of the 40ft storage container and fits smaller lots or driveways better. Choose 20ft for tools and moderate inventory, 40ft for full household moves or larger equipment loads.
Yes, and it is a common pairing for renovations. Many Waldorf customers order a container for keepers and a 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental for debris at the same time, delivered together to save a trip.
