A 20ft storage container gives you roughly 160 square feet of lockable space, built on a steel frame that holds up on job sites and driveways alike. Turlock Porta Pros stocks them for construction, moves and overflow inventory, with pricing running month to month rather than by the day.
An empty 20ft unit weighs several thousand pounds, enough that delivery trucks handle placement rather than a forklift rental on your end. Turlock Porta Pros delivers with equipment built for that weight, and the driver picks the final spot with you before setting it down. Because of the mass involved, the ground needs to be flat and firm, similar to what we ask for with storage container rental generally. If you are also renting a roll-off dumpster rental for the same project, plan separate pads for each so neither one settles unevenly. Weight also matters if you are staging the container on a slab that is still curing. Ask before you load heavy pallets or equipment right after delivery. For side by side comparisons against the larger box, see 40ft storage container specs, since some jobs in Turlock end up needing both sizes staged together for a phased move.
Inside, you get about 20 feet of length, with a standard 8 foot width and roughly 8.5 feet of height, though a few units vary slightly by manufacturer. That footprint fits most residential driveways and still leaves clearance for a work truck beside it. Compare that against a 20ft storage container versus the bigger option on our storage container rental cost page, where we break down price per square foot for both sizes. If you're staging near an active dumpster, check dumpster sizes and dimensions so the two footprints don't overlap when the roll-off truck needs its clearance to load. Door swing needs room too, generally a few feet in front of the container, similar to the 60 feet of straight clearance a roll-off delivery truck needs behind it. Turlock lots with narrow side yards should measure before booking. We also rent a 20ft mobile office container with trailer configuration for crews that need a desk and secure storage in one delivery, which is worth asking about if your Turlock site runs six months or longer.
| duration | typical range |
|---|---|
| storage container, month | $100 to $125 |
That range covers standard dry storage. A 20ft cold storage container, insulated and refrigerated, runs above that band and gets quoted separately based on power hookup and run time, so ask when you request a quote. Delivery is billed apart from the monthly rate, and Turlock Porta Pros will quote that based on distance and site access; see storage container rental cost for how that fee typically breaks down. For crews weighing a temporary office instead of pure storage, mobile office trailer rental is worth a look, and if you are also boxing up scrap or demo debris, pair the container with a 30 yard dumpster rental or a 10 yard dumpster rental depending on volume. Renters near Denair, 4.7 miles east of Turlock, and Ceres, 9.8 miles northwest, use the same monthly rate, with delivery distance factored into the fee.
Most Turlock renters keep a unit for one to several months, since pricing is structured monthly rather than daily. Construction projects often run the container the length of the build. Ask about month to month terms with no long minimum if your timeline is still moving.
Gravel works if it is compacted and level. Grass alone tends to shift under the container's weight over a season, so we recommend a firmer base. Turlock Porta Pros can walk your site by phone before delivery to confirm the surface will hold.
Placement rules depend on whether the container sits in a driveway, yard or the public right of way, and that needs confirming with the city before delivery. See porta potty permit requirements for how we handle permit questions on similar equipment, and ask us directly for your address.
The 20ft unit fits tighter lots and shorter projects; the 40ft doubles the floor space for larger inventories or long builds. Compare both on 40ft storage container before booking, since the monthly cost difference is often smaller than people expect.
