A 40ft storage container gives you roughly 320 square feet of lockable floor space, enough for a full house of furniture or a jobsite's worth of tools and material. Minneapolis Porta Pros stocks these units for renovation, construction and moving projects across the metro. Monthly rates run from the low end of our storage container pricing up depending on term.
Pricing depends on length of rental and delivery distance. A storage container rental at 40 feet typically runs higher than the 20ft option because of the extra steel and floor space, but the per-day cost drops the longer you keep it. Delivery adds a separate fee based on how far the truck has to travel; a drop in St. Louis Park, about 8.0 miles west of Minneapolis, costs less to reach than one out past Blaine, 19.0 miles north. Ask about 40ft storage container availability early if your project has a tight start date, since these long units book up faster than the 20ft storage container during peak construction season.

Storage container rates in the table cover the box itself. Delivery is billed on top, and a longer job usually spreads that delivery cost thinner per month. If you are comparing against a smaller box, check storage container rental cost for how the 20ft and 40ft numbers stack up side by side.
A three to four bedroom household's furniture and boxes generally fit with room left over, and contractors use the same footprint for pallets of lumber, drywall and fixtures. Renovation crews working through a Minneapolis remodel often pair a container with a roll-off dumpster rental for debris and keep the container locked for tools and materials that need to stay dry and secure between phases. If your job runs on a tighter footprint, the 20ft storage container may be the better fit, and a mobile office trailer rental can sit alongside either box for site staff. Some crews also add a temporary fence rental around the container and equipment yard so nothing wanders off overnight.

We also handle out of market moves, including a 40 foot storage container rental near Texas or a 40 foot storage container rental near California relocation for crews working multi-state jobs; ask us about coordinating the logistics on those longer hauls.
Rentals run month to month with no fixed ceiling. Most renovation and construction jobs keep the container for the length of the project, then call for pickup once it is empty. Longer terms lower the effective daily cost.
That depends on where it sits and for how long. Placement on a driveway is usually simpler than placement in the right of way, and permit rules need confirming directly with the city before delivery. We can talk through placement once we see the site.
Our trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to place the container safely. Tight urban lots and alley access in parts of Minneapolis sometimes require a site visit first to confirm the truck can maneuver.
Yes, standard units come lockable, and we can talk through additional security options at booking. Many renovation clients pair the container with a temporary fence rental around the whole staging area for extra coverage overnight.
Yes. The 20ft storage container works well for smaller moves or tighter lots where 40 feet will not fit. Compare both sizes on storage container rental before booking, and request a quote once you know which length fits.
