A 20ft storage container measures about 20 feet long by 8 feet wide, roughly 8.5 feet tall, and holds around 1,170 cubic feet of gear. Empty weight runs close to 5,000 pounds. Ontario Porta Pros keeps them in stock for construction, retail overflow, and moves that need secure space fast, and pricing lives on the storage container rental page if you want the full lineup.
The 20 foot storage container rental sits at 20 feet by 8 feet on the ground, with an interior height near 8.5 feet on a standard unit. Ontario Porta Pros stocks steel units built for stacking and repeated moves, so the walls are heavier gauge than a shipping crate you'd see hauling freight. Empty, a 20ft storage container weighs in around 5,000 pounds depending on the manufacturer and door configuration; loaded with tools, fixtures, or pallets, that number climbs fast, which matters if you're setting one on soft ground near a construction site here in Ontario. If you need something bigger for a full renovation crew, the 40ft storage container doubles the floor space. Placement matters too. Check our storage container rental cost page before you commit, since delivery surface and access change the quote. A lot of Ontario job sites pair a container with a temporary fence rental around the perimeter to keep the yard secured overnight, sometimes adding a chain link temporary fence run along the street side for extra visibility.
Monthly storage container rates run in a predictable band, and knowing it before you call saves a back-and-forth on the quote.

That range covers a standard steel box; a 20ft cold storage container with refrigeration runs higher because of the compressor and insulation, so ask for that spec separately when you request pricing. Ontario Porta Pros bundles delivery into most job site quotes, and if your project also needs sanitation, a portable restroom rental or standard porta potty rental can go out on the same truck run. Contractors juggling a dumpster too should look at roll-off dumpster rental or check dumpster rental cost so the whole site budget lines up in one pass, and the dumpster sizes and dimensions page helps match the box to the container footprint.
Yes. Ontario Porta Pros offers 20ft mobile office container with trailer setups for crews who need a desk, plan table, and lockable storage in one unit instead of two separate boxes. It's a common ask on active builds where the super needs a dry space to run paperwork ten feet from the work, and pairing it with a 20ft storage container for tools frees up the office box for plans and files only. If you'd rather keep storage and office space separate, pair a standard container with a mobile office trailer rental instead. Either way, delivery trucks need clearance to back in and drop the unit level, similar to how roll-off dumpster rental trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the box safely. Crews working sites near Eastvale, 6.8 miles south of Ontario, or Jurupa Valley, 9.0 miles east, use the same delivery routine. If your yard is tight, mention it when you request a quote so dispatch sends the right truck.
Most Ontario customers rent by the month, though short-term rentals are available for moves or staging. There's no fixed cap: some sites keep a container for one month, others keep it for the length of a multi-phase build. Ask about month-to-month terms when you call, since renewal is usually simpler than a fresh order.
Yes, standard units ship with a lockable door and you supply or rent the padlock. For higher-value tools or equipment, ask about additional security options when ordering. Combine it with a temporary fence rental around the site for a fuller perimeter, especially on nights and weekends when nobody's on site.
Tools, materials, fixtures, retail stock, and household goods during a move all work. Avoid hazardous materials, fuel, or anything flammable; check what cannot go in a dumpster for a similar list if you're also renting a roll-off, and ask Ontario Porta Pros directly if you're unsure about a specific item before it goes in the box.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Ontario directly, since permit rules vary by location and property type. On private property with clearance, it's usually straightforward, much like the dumpster permit requirements question contractors ask before a roll-off drop. Check with the city before delivery day to avoid a reschedule.
A flatbed truck drops the container and slides it off using rails, so the ground needs to be level and reachable. Ontario Porta Pros coordinates delivery timing with your site schedule; for related equipment, see construction site services, check light tower rental or temporary power pole for jobsite power, or browse service areas to confirm coverage near Montclair, 7.4 miles northwest, and Upland, 8.3 miles northwest.
