How Much Does a 20ft Storage Container Cost?
Monthly pricing for a 20ft box in Jackson sits between 100 and 250 dollars, with most jobs landing near 125. That's the same range we quote across storage container rental generally, since a 20ft unit is our most common size next to the 40ft storage container. Delivery runs separately, often 120 to 420 dollars depending on distance and site access, similar to what we charge to place a mobile office trailer rental unit. If you're comparing against a longer box, check storage container rental cost before you commit to size.
| item | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| storage container | month | 125 |
| delivery fee | month | 172 |
| delivery fee | week | 100 |
What Are 20ft Storage Container Dimensions and Weight?
A 20ft steel container measures about 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8.5 feet tall on the outside, with a bit less clearance inside once you account for wall thickness. Empty, most run in the 4,900 to 5,000 pound range depending on the manufacturer and steel gauge, which matters if you're planning a 20ft storage container weight limit for a crane pick or a soft site. Jackson customers renovating a home ask us this constantly when comparing a container against a dumpster footprint, since a 10 yard dumpster rental takes up far less ground space but holds less than a full container. If you need something bigger for a whole-house cleanout, the 20 yard dumpster rental is worth a look instead.
Can I Get a 20ft Cold Storage or Mobile Office Container?
Yes, we can source insulated and refrigerated 20ft cold storage containers for Jackson jobs that need temperature control, plus 20ft mobile office container with trailer setups for a jobsite that needs both storage and a place to work. These aren't standard stock units, so lead time runs longer than a plain steel box, and we'll confirm exact refrigeration specs and power draw before delivery. A mobile office trailer pairs well with temporary power pole service if the site has no permanent hookup yet, and a light tower rental covers night work around the container yard. For straightforward document or tool storage without climate control, stick with a standard storage container rental unit and save the lead time.
Delivery access matters here too. Just like our roll-off dumpster rental trucks, container delivery trucks need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point, so a tight driveway in Jackson or a narrow alley in Clinton, 9.7 miles west, can change what size truck we send. We serve Jackson directly and the towns around it, including Ridgeland 14.3 miles north and Pearl 9.6 miles southeast, so tell us your address early and we'll flag any access issue before the truck rolls. If your project also needs a dumpster on site, pair the container with a construction dumpster rental order and we'll schedule both drops together. For jobsites also needing sanitation, our construction site services page covers OSHA 1926.51(c) toilet ratios and how many units a crew that size actually needs.
How much does a 20ft storage container weigh?
Empty, a standard 20ft steel container weighs around 4,900 to 5,000 pounds depending on the manufacturer. Loaded weight depends entirely on what you put inside, so if you're near a weight limit for a lift or a soft surface, tell us before delivery.
What are the exact dimensions of a 20ft storage container?
Outside dimensions run about 20 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8.5 feet tall. Interior space is slightly smaller once you account for wall thickness, which is why we ask what you're storing before confirming the unit.
Is a 20ft container big enough for a full home renovation?
It depends on the job. Many home renovation porta potty customers pair a 20ft container with a separate dumpster, since the container holds tools and materials while debris goes in a roll-off instead of taking up container space.
Do you deliver 20ft containers outside Jackson?
Yes. We deliver to towns near Jackson including Madison, 15.5 miles northeast, and Byram, 15.3 miles southwest. Check our Service Areas in Jackson, MS page for the full list or request a quote with your address.
Can I rent a 20ft container for just one month?
Yes, monthly is our standard term for storage containers, and pricing scales down slightly with longer commitments. Ask about weekly delivery fees if you only need the unit for a short window, since those run lower than a full month's delivery rate.
