A 20ft storage container gives you roughly 160 square feet of lockable space, built on a steel frame that stacks and stands up to job-site weather. Bayonne Porta Pros rents them by the month, delivers on flatbed, and sets units level on driveways, lots or construction sites anywhere in Bayonne.
A 20ft storage container runs 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, the steel box weighs in the neighborhood of 5,000 pounds, so delivery trucks need solid, level ground and enough approach room to set it down without dragging. That's a different animal from a 40ft storage container, which roughly doubles the length and the loaded weight capacity. If you're comparing footprints before picking a size, our storage container rental page breaks down both options side by side, and the storage container rental cost guide covers what drives the monthly number up or down. Most Bayonne renters use the 20ft box for tools, seasonal inventory or overflow stock rather than a full household move, and that's exactly the size range these units are built for.
Storage rentals here run month to month, and the table below shows where pricing typically lands.
| unit | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| storage | month | $100 | $125 | $250 |
Price moves with contract length, ground condition at delivery, and how far the truck has to travel to reach the site. Bayonne sits about 9.8 miles south of Harrison and 11.4 miles southeast of Kearny, and jobs further out from our base can carry a slightly higher delivery charge than something dropped a few blocks away. If you're weighing a container against a portable building instead, our mobile office trailer rental page covers that comparison, and construction crews juggling both storage and sanitation should look at construction site services for the full setup.
Yes. A 20ft mobile office container arrives on a trailer and gets lowered into place with hydraulic lift arms or a forklift, depending on ground access. Delivery crews need clear approach room, similar to how a roll-off dumpster rental needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for safe placement. Tight urban lots in Bayonne, especially near older buildings, sometimes need a site visit first to confirm the truck can maneuver. We also stock 20ft cold storage container units for jobs needing temperature control, useful for food service, events or short-term product storage where ambient heat or cold would be a problem. If your project also needs temporary fence rental around the container for security, or a light tower rental for after-hours access, we coordinate all of it on one delivery schedule. Contractors running longer jobs often pair a container with a roll-off dumpster rental and a porta potty rental so the whole site is covered without three separate vendors showing up on three different days.
Placement matters as much as size. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant ground surfaces, and that same logic applies to container pads: a soft or sloped spot causes doors to bind and locks to stick. We check ground condition before we drop the box, the same way we'd check a spot before setting a restroom trailer rental or an ADA accessible porta potty.
Loaded weight depends entirely on what's inside, since the empty steel shell is around 5,000 pounds on its own. Tools and equipment pack denser than boxed inventory, so always tell the delivery crew roughly what's going in before pickup, especially if a forklift will be lifting a loaded unit rather than an empty one.
A 20ft unit gives you about half the floor space of a 40ft storage container, and it costs less to deliver since it's lighter and easier to maneuver on tight lots. Most single-crew job sites and small business overflow needs fit fine in the 20ft size.
Permit rules depend on placement, duration and whether the container sits in the right of way. Confirm requirements with the City of Bayonne before delivery. Our storage container rental page has more on typical placement questions to ask.
It can, but a firm, level base matters more than the surface type. Soft or uneven ground can shift the frame over a multi-month rental, so a compacted gravel or paved pad works best. Our delivery crew evaluates the spot before setting the unit down.
