What Are the 20ft Storage Container Dimensions?
Standard footprint is 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, 8.5 feet tall on the outside, with a few inches lost to wall thickness inside. Empty, a steel box this size weighs around 5,000 pounds; loaded to capacity it can push past 60,000 pounds combined weight, so know your surface before you commit, the same way an ADA accessible porta potty needs a stable, level pad. Kennewick Porta Pros checks ground conditions before drop-off, the same way a roll-off dumpster rental needs firm, level ground and about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck. If your site sits on gravel, slope, or soft turf, mention it when you request a quote. We serve Kennewick directly and reach nearby communities too, including Finley 7.6 miles east and Richland 11.4 miles northwest, and our service areas page covers the rest. Compare this size against a 40ft storage container if you are storing vehicles or bulk equipment, or read our breakdown on storage container rental cost before you decide which length fits the job.
How Much Does a 20ft Storage Container Cost in Kennewick?
Pricing depends on rental length, delivery distance, and whether you need a standard steel box or a 20ft cold storage container with refrigeration built in. Monthly rates for a standard unit fall between $100 and $250 based on our measured pricing data, and delivery fees for site work typically land between $120 and $420 a month depending on distance and access. A cold storage container costs more due to the compressor and insulation, so ask directly when you call, and compare against our porta potty rental cost page if you are budgeting a whole jobsite at once.
| Unit | Duration | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| Storage container | Month | $125 |
| Delivery fee | Month | $172 |
| Delivery fee | Week | $100 |
These numbers reflect what Kennewick customers are actually paying, not a quoted estimate pulled from a national average. If your job also needs waste hauling alongside storage, look at 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental for sizing comparisons, since both run on similar delivery logistics, and our dumpster rental cost page breaks down pricing further.
Can I Get a Mobile Office Trailer Instead of a Container?
Yes. A 20ft mobile office container with trailer setup works when you need a desk and storage combined, common on construction sites where the crew needs plans, tools, and a place to sit out of the wind. Kennewick Porta Pros pairs these with mobile office trailer rental options when a straight steel box will not cut it, and some crews add a restroom trailer rental if the site lacks nearby facilities. Many contractors running construction site services in Kennewick order a container and a temporary power pole together, since job trailers often need 200 amp service or better depending on tool load. If you are also managing worker sanitation on the same site, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet ratios by crew size, and pairing a portable toilet rental with your storage delivery on one trip saves a second delivery fee. Fencing off the container area matters too. A temporary fence rental around stored equipment cuts theft risk on unattended sites, or a chain link temporary fence if you need a sturdier perimeter, and OSHA 1926.202 requires any barricades used for worker protection to meet ANSI D6.1.
Does Kennewick Have Rules on Where I Can Place a Container?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery, since permit rules vary by lot and zoning. Kennewick Porta Pros can position the container on private property with clear driveway or yard access, similar to how we handle temporary fence cost planning for jobsite perimeters, or how we scope a 40ft storage container drop for larger lots. If you are unsure whether your spot needs a permit, check our porta potty permit requirements page for the general logic that applies to most temporary equipment placement in Kennewick, then call the city to confirm your specific address, or reach out through our contact page and we will help you sort out the details.
How much does a 20ft storage container weigh?
Empty, a standard steel unit weighs close to 5,000 pounds. Loaded with heavy equipment or dense materials, combined weight can exceed 60,000 pounds, so check floor rating and ground surface before loading anything substantial into a rented container.
What size items fit in a 20ft container?
Furniture, pallets, tools, seasonal inventory, and small equipment all fit comfortably. The 8-foot width handles standard pallets side by side, and the 8.5-foot height clears most upright appliances and shelving units without disassembly.
Is a 20ft cold storage container available?
Yes, refrigerated units are available for perishables, floral, or temperature-sensitive inventory. They cost more than a standard steel box due to the compressor, so mention cold storage needs when requesting a quote.
How long can I rent a 20ft container?
Rentals run month to month, with no fixed maximum. Most Kennewick customers keep containers for the length of a renovation or construction project, then schedule pickup once the job wraps.
Can Kennewick Porta Pros deliver on short notice?
