What Size Moving Container Do I Need?

Portable Storage Containers

We rent and sell Containers in a variety of sizes, but there are a few sizes that are most commonly used for residential storage and moving. It really all depends on the amount of space you have to place the container and what you’ll be using it for.

The expert staff at Secure Store will be happy to help you choose the exact size container you will need, below is some quick information to help you in advance.

10′ Container

The 10’ Box is a great size for a storage shed on your property or for use during home renovations. It’s also used by customers moving to or from a smaller living space, like a condo or apartment. You can usually fit the contents of a moderately furnished 1 bedroom apartment in the 10-foot container. This size is also great for this type of a move because many condo and apartment buildings will only have space for smaller sized containers.

20′ Container

This is our most commonly used size for residential moving and storage. The contents of a moderately furnished 2-3 bedroom home will usually fit into a 20-foot Container.

This size container is also perfect during a home renovation, if you need to store your furniture and other household items while your home is under construction. This size Box will fit in most single and double driveways.

Measurement Details:
Length: 20’ Width: 8’ Height: 8’ 6” Weight: 4,800lbs

Shelving can be added to any size container, which makes it even easier to store and access household items, boxes and supplies.

40′ Container

40’ containers may not fit in residential properties, we need 150’ to unload, and the entrance must be (driveway width) minimum 25’ wide.

If you need a lot of storage space, or can’t move your entire house in one 20′ container, it’s better to go with two 20′ Boxes.

Measurement Details:
Length: 40’ Width: 8’ Height: 8’ 6” Weight: 8,500lbs

Shelving can be added to any size container, which makes it even easier to store and access household items, boxes and supplies.
