Built for Everyday On-Site Storage

Eco-Friendly Materials
Includes sustainable touches like bamboo flooring and water-based finishes without compromising durability.
Rental Pricing Based on Your Project
The cost of renting a 20-foot container depends on your rental period, delivery location, and current availability. Request a quote that accounts for the full job, including delivery and eventual pickup.
To help us prepare pricing, include:
- The delivery address and preferred start date
- How long you expect to need the container
- The items you plan to store
- Photos or details of the placement area
- Any scheduling restrictions at your property
We’ll review the applicable rental terms and charges with you. If your project has an uncertain finish date, ask how extensions and pickup notice work before signing your agreement.
Put Your Storage Container Rental to Work
A 20-foot container gives you reliable storage in a compact footprint. Buying makes the most sense when you need space for 7 months or longer, because ownership costs less than renting beyond that point. Here are the most common use cases for purchased containers.
Separate tools, boxed fixtures, and installation supplies from the work taking place around them. Organize materials by trade or project phase so your crew can find what they need without sorting through unrelated deliveries.
Make room for incoming shipments, promotional stock, and seasonal merchandise. A temporary storage area can help you reorganize a stockroom or manage a busy period without committing to additional permanent space.
Schools, hotel, offices, and other facilities may need to clear rooms while improvements are underway. Store suitable furnishings and maintenance supplies nearby, then bring them back as each phase is completed.
Clear space before cabinets are removed, flooring is replaced, or garage work begins. Group belongings by room and label boxes on more than one side to make unpacking easier when the home renovation project ends.
Organize and protect your auto parts inventory with a 20-foot container placed near your work area. The interior handles tires, components, and shop tools while keeping everything shielded from dust, moisture, and theft.
Schools, hospitals, and government agencies use 20-foot containers for campus storage, facility upgrades, or emergency preparedness staging. Our GSA-approved storage solutions meet federal procurement requirements. The 20-foot size works well when space on campus or facility grounds is limited.
From Delivery Day to Project Completion
Prepare the Location
Choose firm, level ground and allow room for the doors to open fully. Think about drainage, loading routes, and whether the container could interfere with parking or scheduled deliveries.
Check the Access Route
The delivery vehicle needs more room than the container itself. Share details about narrow driveways, gates, slopes, overhead wires, and nearby structures so our team can review access requirements.
Plan How You’ll Load
Place heavier belongings low and distribute them evenly. Keep items you’ll need first accessible, and avoid packing everything tightly against the entrance.
Coordinate Removal
Contact ARK to arrange pickup when you’re finished. Empty the container and clear the access route before collection. If work runs longer than expected, discuss your updated timeline with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I fit in a 20-foot rental container?
That depends on the size, shape, and stackability of your belongings. Measure bulky items and allow space for access if you’ll use the container regularly. Our team can help you compare sizes based on your storage list.
How long can I rent one?
Short-term and long-term options are available. Ask ARK to confirm the minimum rental term, billing schedule, and extension process for your quote.

Does the rental price include delivery and pickup?
Ask for delivery and pickup charges to be identified in your quote. Review these alongside the rental rate to understand the total expected cost.
Can I install shelving in my rental?
Discuss your storage setup with ARK before making changes. Ask about freestanding shelving and obtain approval before drilling, attaching fixtures, or altering the container.
Can the container be relocated during the rental?
Contact ARK to discuss relocation. Moving a container requires suitable equipment, site access, and coordination with the rental provider.

A 20-foot container holds about 1,170 cubic feet (roughly 10 pallets). A 40-foot container holds about 2,390 cubic feet (roughly 20 pallets). Choose a 20-foot unit when you need solid storage capacity but have limited space on your property or job site.
