20ft Portable Storage Containers

In the world of portable storage units, the 20ft storage container tends to reign supreme. It’s useful, dependable, and perfect for most basic storage needs. 

 

At Mobile Mini, we like to think that our 20ft shipping containers up the game. Our 20ft storage containers give you 1,240 cubic feet of storage volume, tackling all your storage needs in one reliable place.

 

While we can go on about the 20-foot shipping container all day, let’s start with the basics: What are these units, and how can they help your business?

What Is a 20ft Container?

 

Containers tend to go by many names. Here at Mobile Mini, we like to call them 20ft storage containers and 20ft shipping containers. They’re portable storage units that give you 20ft of space to store commercial equipment and supplies. 

 

Mobile Mini only stocks portable storage units made from converted shipping containers. When you rent with us, you’re getting a unit designed to move cargo worldwide and keep products safe, secure, and intact through challenging—and sometimes perilous—journeys. 

 

All of our 20ft storage containers are highly portable and can be easily transported from site to site, usually fitting within a standard parking space. This means that our 20ft shipping containers can be housed on-site without taking away valuable space and commercial square footage.

Premium Double Entry

For more access to your stored items, a double set-up is great for accessing items on a regular basis. This setup is perfect for sharing a space with another party so each party has their own side to access. Mobile Mini’s premium doors allows access with one hand for ease and convenience.

 

Brackets and Rails for Shelving
Our customized brackets and rails shelving system is available as one of our permanent portable storage options. Brackets and Rails can accommodate shelves of different widths at any height. (Brackets and rails are not available at all locations.)

 

Ramps
A container ramp makes moving in and out of storage containers with handcarts quick and easy. Each container ramp is coated with a non-slip surface and painted orange for safety. (Ramps are not available at all locations.)

Delivery

Whether you need one unit or a hundred across the country, our dedicated drivers will swiftly and carefully deliver your unit directly to your door, and help you find the safest and most convenient place to put it on your site. They can even help show you how to use the specific features on your unit if you need assistance. Because we own trucks we are a reliable and cost-effective solution.

Why Choose a 20ft Shipping Container? 

 

20-foot storage containers are great for medium-sized storage needs. All of our 20-foot shipping containers are 100% corrugated steel, which means that they are highly durable and virtually indestructible. This strength gives you the peace of mind you need to place your container anywhere, even on the busiest and most chaotic outdoor job sites.

 

Like our other standard-width storage units, Mobile Mini’s 20-foot storage containers come empty, which means that you can make these units whatever you want them to be. With that 1,240 cubic feet of storage space, you have a ton of room to store anything from construction equipment and supplies to office furniture and technology.

 

Our customers love the versatility of our 20-foot shipping containers. These units work well across a wide range of industries, including: 


 

All of our 20-foot storage containers are naturally weatherproof and can withstand rain, wind, hail, snow, natural disasters, and anything else that Mother Nature throws at them. With sealed doors and exteriors, your valuable commercial supplies will stay safe and dry no matter what it looks like outside.

 

Durable, weatherproof, versatile . . . what more could you ever want in a portable storage unit?

Benefits of a 20ft Shipping Container

 

As we’ve mentioned, our 20ft storage containers come with many benefits, but if we had to select the top four, they would be:

  • Fully Weatherproof: Our 20ft containers are made from corrugated steel, one of the toughest materials on earth. Corrugated steel is also naturally weatherproof, which means these units can withstand even the heaviest snow and rain, fiercest winds, and most intense natural disasters. 
  • They’re Secure: All of our storage units, including our 20ft shipping containers, come standard with our tri-cam locking system. These locks are virtually impossible to cut, pick, hack, or tamper with; they’re virtually theft-proof. 
  • They’re Portable: Since these units used to be shipping containers, they can be transported without any risk to their structural integrity and are perfect for storage jobs across multiple project sites.

Mobile Mini Essentials: More Than Just Storage

 

Our 20-foot storage containers come completely empty, and that’s a choice we made on purpose. Empty units mean that our customers can easily make their containers their own. For customers storing large or unusually shaped items, this aspect of our delivery is invaluable. 

 

If you find yourself wanting some extras to really outfit your 20-foot storage unit, that’s where our Essentials program comes in. Essentials is our one-stop shop that allows you to maximize the safety and utility of your Mobile Mini rental. Add-on packages are fully customizable and include things like:

  • Lighting 
  • Locks 
  • Blinds 
  • Shelves
  • Etc.

 

You can add Essentials items to your order for a 20-foot container or any other unit, and you’ll receive everything in one convenient delivery. It’s one-stop shopping the way it was always meant to be.
