Container rentals
40ft long × 8ft wide × 8.5ft tall
A 40-foot shipping container provides substantially more floor space than a 20-foot container and is a practical rental option for larger construction projects, commercial inventory, equipment and temporary storage needs.
40ft containers are delivered by tractor-trailer. Plan for 80 feet of additional space, for a total of 120 feet of required delivery space.
Rental availability and monthly pricing vary by location. Typical rental delivery is 2-5 business days depending on location. Enter your ZIP to see current rental options serving your site.
Straight answer
A 40-foot rental makes sense when storage capacity matters more than maintaining the smallest possible footprint.
Compared with a 20-foot container, it provides roughly twice the exterior length, but it also requires more room for placement and delivery.
A 40-foot container is delivered by tractor-trailer. Plan for 80 feet of additional space, for a total of 120 feet of required delivery space.
A 20-foot container typically needs 75 feet of total delivery space. Confirm overhead clearance, approach path, and a firm surface before delivery.
