Secure On-Site Storage Container Rental

Secure On-Site Storage Container Rental

The biggest advantage of portable storage containers is simple. Your inventory, tools, household items, and materials stay where you need them. No off-site storage unit. No daily pickup trips. No narrow access windows.

ZTERS delivers containers to your location, places them where you need them, and picks them up when the rental ends. Here are common ways customers use on-site storage.

Storage Container Rental Uses

Construction Jobsite Storage

A lockable steel storage container keeps tools, materials, and equipment in one secure storage area on the jobsite. Store lumber, hardware, power tools, safety gear, and staging materials close to the work area instead of moving them back and forth. For more planning help, see our guide to construction storage containers.

For longer projects, a container can also work as a staging area for materials that are not ready to go into the build yet. Keeping supplies dry, organized, and on-site can reduce downtime.

Business and Commercial Storage

Businesses use storage containers for inventory overflow, seasonal stock, equipment storage, and temporary space during busy periods. Retailers, contractors, healthcare facilities, and event companies all use on-site storage when their permanent space isn’t enough.

Unlike a traditional storage unit, a container at your location keeps inventory close. Your team can get what it needs without leaving the property.

Residential Storage

Homeowners use portable storage units during moves, remodels, cleanouts, and garage projects. A container in your driveway or yard keeps household items close while work happens inside the house.

Storage containers can also help during estate cleanouts, garage conversions, and projects that need temporary overflow storage. They are a practical option when you want more storage space without a long contract.

Storage Container Sizes

We offer several storage containers to match different storage needs. Here's what each one handles best.

10-Foot Storage Container

Our smallest storage container is a good fit when space is tight. It works well for tools, small moves, seasonal items, or short-term storage needs at a home, business, or jobsite.

Best for: Small renovations, residential moves, tools, seasonal inventory

12-Foot Storage Container

A 12-foot container gives you a little more room than the smallest size without taking up much extra space. It’s a practical choice for small business storage, home projects, or overflow items that need to stay nearby.

Best for: Small business storage, household items, light jobsite storage

14-Foot Storage Container

A 14-foot container works well when a 10- or 12-foot unit feels too small, but a 20-foot container is more than you need. It gives you flexible storage space for equipment, supplies, furniture, or project materials.

Best for: Medium home projects, business overflow, equipment storage

16-Foot Storage Container

A 16-foot container is a strong mid-size option for moving, renovation, and on-site storage. It gives you more room for bulky items while still fitting many driveways, parking lots, and jobsite layouts.

Best for: Renovations, moving, bulky household items, jobsite supplies

20-Foot Storage Container

The 20-foot storage container is a popular choice for construction sites and commercial storage. It gives you enough space for tools, materials, business inventory, or the contents of a small home while keeping access simple.

Best for: Construction sites, business inventory, commercial renovations, residential moves

24-Foot Storage Container

A 24-foot storage container gives construction crews and businesses more room than a 20-foot unit without moving up to the largest size. It works well for jobs that need extra storage capacity on-site.

Best for: Larger jobsites, construction materials, inventory, equipment storage

40-Foot Storage Container

The 40-foot storage container is the best fit when volume matters. It works well for large construction sites, industrial storage, major renovations, and high-volume inventory that needs secure on-site storage.

Best for: Large construction jobsites, industrial storage, high-volume inventory, major renovations

3 Storage Container Rental Tips

A storage container is easy to use, but a little planning helps keep your contents safe and easy to reach. Review our storage container delivery tips before drop-off so you can choose a level spot, plan access, and avoid delivery delays.

Loading Your Container

Load heavy items first and keep them low and toward the front near the doors. Stack lighter items on top. Use tie-downs or straps for anything that could shift when the container is moved. Leave a walkway down the middle so you can reach items in the back. For more ideas, see our guide to organize your storage container.

Protecting Your Items

Steel containers are built for outdoor use, but moisture can still build up inside during temperature swings. Use pallets or shelves to keep items off the floor. Add moisture absorbers for documents, fabric, electronics, or other sensitive items.

Container Safety

Place the container on level, stable ground. Uneven ground can stress the steel frame and make doors harder to open. Keep the door area clear, use the lockbox when the container is unattended, and avoid storing flammable or hazardous materials inside.
