Container rentals
20ft × 8ft × 8.5ft
A 20-foot shipping container provides secure on-site storage in a relatively compact footprint. It is often a practical rental choice for construction projects, renovations, equipment, inventory and temporary storage where a 40-foot container would provide more capacity than the job requires.

Straight answer
A 20-foot container is usually the better rental choice when placement space is limited or when the project does not require the capacity of a 40-foot unit.
It provides roughly half the exterior length of a 40-foot container while retaining the standard 8-foot width.
Containers are delivered by truck. Your site needs enough clear, firm space for placement and for the truck to maneuver safely.
A 20-foot container typically needs less length for placement than a 40-foot unit, which can help on tighter driveways or constrained job sites. Review delivery guidance for your market after you enter your ZIP.
