A 20ft storage container runs about 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet tall, and holds roughly 1,170 cubic feet of gear. Akron Porta Pros rents them by the month, with pricing in the $100 to $250 range depending on condition and add-ons, and full porta potty rental service is available for the same jobsites. Most jobsites and small business moves fit one comfortably, and many pair it with a temporary fence rental to secure the yard.
A standard 20ft box measures about 20 by 8 by 8.5 feet on the outside, with a touch less room inside once you account for wall thickness. Empty, a steel unit like this typically weighs in the neighborhood of 5,000 pounds, though older or heavier-gauge boxes run more. That matters if you are setting one on a driveway, a gravel pad, or anywhere the ground needs to hold that load without settling. If you are comparing it against something larger, the 40ft storage container doubles the length but keeps the same width and height, and either size can sit alongside a temporary power pole or a light tower rental if the site needs power and light after hours. For general storage container rental across Akron, both sizes come from the same fleet, and delivery logistics look a lot like roll-off dumpster rental in that the truck needs clearance to back in and set the unit down level.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month | $100 | $125 | $250 |
Monthly is the standard term for storage, and the price above covers just the unit itself. Delivery is billed separately and generally lands in the $120 to $420 range for the month, depending on distance and site access, similar to how porta potty rental cost breaks out delivery from the unit price. If you're weighing storage against a dumpster for a cleanout, the dumpster rental cost page breaks down that side, general storage container rental cost covers pricing across sizes if 20ft turns out to be too small or too big for the job, and the 10 yard dumpster rental is worth a look for smaller loads.
Yes, some 20ft units come outfitted as mobile offices, either as a straight storage box or paired with a trailer setup for jobsite trailers that need to move between locations. If your Akron project needs a dedicated workspace instead of pure storage, the mobile office trailer rental page covers that option directly, including what's typically included versus what costs extra, and crews often add a handwashing station rental nearby for the office trailer. A lot of contractors running a construction site services package will pair a mobile office with a container for tools and materials, a dumpster like the 20 yard dumpster rental for debris, and a standard porta potty rental for the crew. Delivery clearance matters here too. Just like with roll-off boxes, the truck generally needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down without repositioning, so measure your driveway or lot before booking.
Cold storage is a specialty configuration, built with insulation and refrigeration rather than a standard dry box. Ask when you request a quote what's available for your dates, since refrigerated units are a smaller slice of any fleet and get booked out faster than standard boxes, especially around events. If you're planning something seasonal, like a food vendor setup at a festival, pair the conversation about cold storage with your restroom needs too. Event organizers running a festival restroom rental or county fair restrooms job often order both at once, and some add an ADA accessible porta potty to meet accessibility needs on site.
Akron winters are also a factor. If your container sits outside through the cold months, ask about ground prep the same way you'd think about porta potty in winter service, since frozen ground and ice buildup around the door affect both.
There's no fixed cap. Most Akron customers rent by the month and renew as needed, whether it's a three-month renovation or a year-long lease for overflow inventory. Confirm your term when you request a quote, since renewal terms and any price changes get spelled out up front, and the same contact team can walk through options over the phone.
Placement rules depend on where the container sits, especially if it's near a public street or right of way. Confirm details directly with the City of Akron before delivery. This is worth checking early since it affects where the delivery truck can even set the unit down.
Tools, furniture, inventory, seasonal equipment and construction materials all work fine in a standard dry box. Anything sensitive to temperature swings, like certain foods or chemicals, needs the cold storage option instead. Check what cannot go in a dumpster too if you're deciding between storing something and just tossing it, or review dumpster weight limits if you're loading heavier debris nearby.
A truck backs the container into place, usually needing about 60 feet of clear straight approach behind the drop site. Gravel, concrete or packed dirt all work as a base, as long as the ground is level and can support roughly 5,000 pounds of empty weight plus whatever you load inside.
For most single-room or mid-size renovation jobs, yes. It holds furniture, boxes and fixtures pulled out during the work. If you're also clearing debris, pair it with a dumpster from home renovation porta potty style planning, which covers sanitation needs during the same project.
