Sizes
Pick the size that fits the job
Two sizes cover most of what Arizona needs. If you are between them, two 20ft units are a great fit on a tight site — a 40ft needs roughly 100 feet of straight clearance to set, so on lots without that run, a pair of 20ft units puts the space right where you want it.
| Unit | Exterior | Interior height | Door opening | Capacity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20ft standard | 20′ × 8′ × 8′6″ | 7′10″ | 7′8″ × 7′5″ | ~1,170 cu ft | Job-site tools, materials, seasonal overflow |
| 40ft standard | 40′ × 8′ × 8′6″ | 7′10″ | 7′8″ × 7′5″ | ~2,390 cu ft | Large equipment, full-site storage, staging |
| 40ft high cube | 40′ × 8′ × 9′6″ | 8′10″ | 7′8″ × 8′5″ | ~2,690 cu ft | Tall equipment, racking, office conversions |
| 20ft high cube | 20′ × 8′ × 9′6″ | 8′10″ | 7′8″ × 8′5″ | ~1,320 cu ft | Tight sites needing extra headroom |

Condition grades
What the grades actually mean
The grade tells you a container’s condition and where it lands on price. Here is exactly what each term means, so you can match the grade to your project and get the right box without paying for more than you need.
One-trip
Built overseas, loaded once, then shipped to the US. Essentially new — clean paint, tight doors, no dents worth mentioning. The best-looking option and our premium pick. Ideal when the container will be seen by customers or converted into an office or casita.
Cargo-worthy (CW)
Certified structurally sound for ocean shipping. Expect a little surface rust and cosmetic character over a solid structure and sound seals. The right pick when you need certification or plan to move it repeatedly.
Wind & water tight (WWT)
Retired from ocean service and still solid where it counts — dry inside and weathertight. Some rust and dents, no shipping certification needed. For most Arizona job-site storage this is the value pick: a dry, lockable steel box at the best price.
As-is
Our budget option, priced to move. Any known quirk — a worn door seal, a patched floor — is disclosed up front, so if it does not matter for your use you get a working steel box for the lowest price on the lot. We will walk you through the exact condition before you buy.
Pricing
How container rental pricing actually works
Container rental pricing is simple once you see the pieces, and we give you a real, complete number fast — the monthly rate, delivery, and pickup, all quoted together.
Four things set the price, and we will walk you through each one for your job:
- Size and condition. A 40ft high cube one-trip and a 20ft as-is are different products with a wide price range between them, so we match the pick to what you actually need.
- Term length. Month-to-month gives you flexibility; a committed 6- or 12-month term lowers the monthly rate meaningfully. The longer you commit, the better the rate.
- Delivery distance. Billed one time, based on distance from our nearest yard to your site. A Buckeye delivery and a Show Low delivery are different trips, and your quote reflects the one you actually need.
- Site conditions. Straightforward tilt-bed placement is standard and covers most sites. If yours needs a crane, a spotter, or an escort, we build it into the quote up front so the number you see is the number you pay.
The number that matters is total term cost
Here is an easy way to plan your budget: take the monthly rate, multiply by your expected term, then add delivery and pickup. That is your all-in cost — and we put every piece of it on one page up front, so you can plan with confidence and there are no surprises later.
What is included in a Hardpoint rental
- Tilt-bed delivery and placement where you want it on the site
- A lockbox on job-site rentals — shields the padlock from bolt cutters
- A pre-delivery site check on access, clearance, and ground conditions
- Doors confirmed working and sealing before the truck leaves our yard
- A named person to call who knows your account
What costs extra — stated up front
- Pickup at end of term. A one-time charge, quoted with the delivery so you see the whole term cost at once.
- Repositioning on-site. Need it moved to a new spot? Same truck and clearance, billed as a quick service call. Let us handle the move — setting it square and level keeps the doors sealing and swinging right.
- Modifications. Roll-up doors, vents, shelving, extra personnel doors, and lighting can all be added to a rental unit. Priced per build.
- Damage beyond normal wear. Everyday dents and scratches are expected and never a problem. Major damage like a cut hole or a diesel-soaked floor is the rare exception, and we will always talk it through with you.
Delivery
What delivery day actually needs
A smooth delivery comes down to a little site prep. Here is everything the truck needs so your container lands exactly where you want it on the first try.
Straight clearance
Roughly 100 feet of straight, unobstructed approach for a 40ft container; about 60 feet for a 20ft. The truck tilts and rolls the unit off the back, so a straight shot in is all it needs.
Overhead clearance
About 14 feet, clear the whole way in. Give power lines, low branches, and gate arches a quick look when you pick the spot — that is all it takes to keep delivery on schedule.
Firm, level ground
Compacted caliche, gravel, and asphalt are ideal. If you have soft sand, fresh sod, or buried irrigation or septic lines, just flag it and we will plan the placement around it. Solid ground keeps a loaded container sitting level for the long haul.
Someone on site
Have someone on hand to point out the exact spot and sign off. Two minutes of their time means the container lands precisely where you want it.
Common uses
What Arizona rents containers for
Construction job sites
Tools, materials, and equipment locked on site so the crew is not loading a trailer twice a day. A job-site staple across Arizona.
Construction solutions →
Renovation & moving overflow
Furniture and belongings stored in the driveway during a remodel — closer, cheaper, and more accessible than a storage unit across town.
Agriculture & ranch
Feed, tack, irrigation parts, and equipment kept dry and rodent-resistant on property with no permanent outbuilding.
Agriculture solutions →
Retail & seasonal overflow
Seasonal inventory and fixtures stored behind the store instead of leasing extra square footage you only need four months a year.
Events & film
Secure on-site storage for gear and production equipment where there is no lockable structure at all.
Business inventory
Overflow stock kept on your own lot instead of paying for warehouse space and driving to it every time you need one pallet.
Rent or buy
Should you rent or buy?
We rent and we sell, so we will help you land on whichever one saves you money. The math is simple.
Rent when
- The need has an end date — a job, a remodel, a season.
- You want it gone when you are done and do not want to resell it yourself.
- The term is under roughly a year.
- Cash flow matters more than total cost.
Buy when
- The need is permanent, or you are not sure when it ends.
- The term is heading past a year — around that point cumulative rent starts approaching the purchase price, and buying means you own the container at the end.
- You want it modified. Modifications pay off best on a container you own.
- You want the residual. Containers hold value well and resell readily in Arizona.
If you are not sure, tell us your situation and we will run both numbers for you and recommend the one that costs you less. Straight advice is how we earn your repeat business.

Container rental questions
Monthly rent depends on four things: size (20ft vs 40ft vs high cube), condition grade, term length, and delivery distance from our yard. Month-to-month costs a little more per month than a 6- or 12-month term. Delivery and pickup are one-time charges, and we quote every piece together so you see the full cost of the term on one page — the monthly rate, the delivery, and the pickup. Tell us your size, term, and ZIP and we will send exact pricing the same or next business day.
One month is the standard minimum. Most job-site rentals run month-to-month after that so you can release the unit when the job wraps. Longer committed terms lower the monthly rate — if you already know you need it for a year, say so and we will price it that way.
Delivery is a one-time charge based on distance from the nearest yard and site conditions. It covers the tilt-bed truck, the driver, and placement where you want it. Pickup at the end of the term is a separate charge. We quote both up front so the total cost of the rental is on one page before you sign anything.
A firm, reasonably level surface, roughly 100 feet of straight clearance for a 40ft unit (about 60 for a 20ft), about 14 feet of overhead clearance, and a clear path with no low branches or wires. Compacted caliche and gravel are ideal. If you have soft sand, fresh sod, irrigation lines, or a septic field, just let us know and we will plan the placement around it. We confirm all of this with you before dispatch so delivery day goes smoothly.
Yes. Just ask about rent-to-own when you set up the rental and we can structure it so a portion of the rent applies to the purchase price. And if you already expect to keep it past a year, buying outright is usually the better value — tell us your plan and we will point you to the cheaper path.
A cargo-worthy container with a lockbox is one of the most secure things you can put on an open site — the doors are the only real attack surface and a lockbox shields the padlock from bolt cutters. We include a lockbox on job-site rentals. For higher-risk sites we can add a crossbar lock or a secondary internal latch.
Call us and we will reposition it for you. Moving a container within your site uses the same truck and clearance as the original delivery, so it is billed as a quick service call. It is worth having us handle it — setting a container square and level is what keeps the doors sealing and swinging exactly as they should.
