A 20ft storage container gives you roughly 160 square feet of lockable space, runs about 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet tall, and works for tool storage, overflow inventory or a jobsite lockup. Yakima Porta Pros rents these on flexible terms, month to month, delivered on a trailer.
An empty 20ft steel container weighs several thousand pounds, which is why placement matters before delivery day. Yakima Porta Pros checks your surface first: gravel, asphalt or a compacted pad all work, but soft ground can let the corner castings sink under load. This matters more once you start filling it, since tools, pallets and equipment add weight fast and a container that settles unevenly can jam the doors. If you are stacking a second unit or loading heavy machinery, tell your rep before delivery so the crew brings the right ground mats. For general pricing context across container sizes, storage container rental cost in Yakima breaks down what drives the monthly number, and the full lineup lives under storage container rental in Yakima.
Inside, you're working with close to 8 feet of width and a bit under 8 feet of stackable height once you account for the header. That's enough for a couple of pallet rows down each side with a walk aisle, or a full set of trade tools and small equipment for a residential build. Contractors running a home renovation porta potty setup often pair it with a 20ft box for materials, since both show up on the same delivery schedule. If your footprint runs bigger, the 40ft storage container page covers the doubled capacity. Need an actual desk and outlets instead of just shelving? A mobile office trailer rental or a 20ft mobile office container with trailer setup covers that, and either option delivers alongside your construction site services order in one trip.
Most residential driveways and commercial lots in Yakima handle a 20ft unit without issue, but placement still depends on your specific site. A level, stable surface matters most, per the same firm-ground logic ADA Standards section 302.1 applies to accessible routes: stable, firm, slip-resistant footing keeps equipment and people safe. If the container sits near a public sidewalk or the right-of-way, that placement needs confirming with the City of Yakima before delivery, since we don't have local permit language to quote here. Crews working sites in nearby Selah, 7.5 miles north, or Terrace Heights, 6.7 miles east, run into the same site-access question, and our dispatch plans routes through Ahtanum and Gleed the same way.

Delivery adds a separate fee, generally in the $120 to $172 range for a month-long placement, and that covers trucking the unit to your lot and picking it back up. Need refrigerated space instead? A 20ft cold storage container is a specialty request. Ask when you request a quote so we can confirm equipment availability.
Most renters keep one for a full month or longer, since the monthly rate is built for ongoing jobs rather than single-day use. Short-term options exist too. Ask your rep what's available for a weekend swing or a quick move, and compare against storage container rental for the standard terms.
Weekend delivery can be arranged depending on the crew schedule. Call ahead, ideally a few days out, since weekend slots fill faster than weekday ones. Combine it with a portable restroom rental order and one truck can often handle both drops.
Yes. Plenty of jobsites run both, one for tools and one for bulk materials or overflow. Pricing scales per unit, so check storage container rental cost for both sizes before you order.
A level, compacted surface works best: gravel, concrete or asphalt. Soft dirt or a sloped yard can cause the unit to settle unevenly over a long rental, which makes the doors harder to open and close.
That depends on where it sits. Driveways and private lots are usually straightforward, but right-of-way placement needs confirming with the city directly. See porta potty permit requirements for the general permit conversation, since the same right-of-way question applies to containers.
