A 40ft storage container gives you roughly double the floor space of a 20 footer, and monthly rates on our storage container rental program run 100 to 250 dollars depending on unit condition and length of term. Providence contractors use them for tool lockup, phased job sites and overflow inventory, often alongside a temporary fence rental to secure the perimeter. Providence Porta Pros delivers them ready to load, the same crew that handles portable restroom rental drops across the city.
Pricing sits inside the same band as our shorter units, just at the top end because of the extra length. Monthly storage rental in Providence Porta Pros' fleet runs from 100 dollars on the low side up to 250 dollars, and where your job lands in that range depends on how long you keep the box and what condition you need it in. A clean, newer container costs more than a working unit with some dents, much like the spread you will see on our porta potty rental cost page for sanitation gear. If you are not sure which size fits, the 20ft storage container page breaks down the smaller option side by side, and our storage container rental cost guide covers what drives the price up or down before you request a number.

Delivery is a separate line. Expect a delivery fee similar to what we charge on roll-off dumpster rental jobs, generally 100 to 500 dollars for a single trip depending on distance and access. If your site is near Pawtucket, 5.1 miles northeast of Providence, or out toward Cranston, 8.7 miles southwest, tell us up front so the quote reflects the drive.
If you are storing more than a few pallets, staging a multi-phase renovation like a home renovation porta potty job, or running a construction site services job with several trades on site at once, the 40 foot box earns its footprint. A 20 footer, covered on our 20ft storage container page, handles a single crew's tools. A 40 footer handles tools, materials, and finished-goods overflow all at once, which matters on Providence jobs where laydown space is tight and a second trip to a warehouse costs more than the extra rental fee. Pair it with a mobile office trailer rental and you have a functioning site office plus secure storage in two boxes instead of juggling five smaller ones.
Access matters here more than with a 20 footer. Delivery trucks need clearance to set the unit down level, similar to the roughly 60 feet of straight clearance a roll-off truck needs behind it for a construction dumpster rental drop. Narrow alleys or tight urban lots in Providence sometimes call for the shorter unit instead, so measure your access lane before you commit to the 40, and check our dumpster sizes and dimensions page if you are comparing footprints on the same site.
Providence Porta Pros operates in Rhode Island and the nearby Massachusetts towns, not California or Texas. If you searched for a 40 foot storage container rental near those states, you will want a provider licensed and staged in that region, since drive time and delivery fees do not translate across state lines. For anyone in our actual footprint, we cover Porta Potty Rental in Providence, RI directly and reach Porta Potty Rental in North Providence, RI 4.2 miles northwest, Porta Potty Rental in East Providence, RI 4.8 miles southeast, Porta Potty Rental in Johnston, RI 7.7 miles west, and out to Porta Potty Rental in Attleboro, MA 11.0 miles northeast. Check our service areas page for the full list, including Taunton and Fall River in Massachusetts.
There is no fixed cap. Most Providence customers rent by the month, and rates hold steady whether you keep it four weeks or four months. Talk to us about longer terms if your project timeline is still moving, since monthly porta potty rental customers on the same job often extend both rentals together, and a quick look at our porta potty rental per day rates shows how the math shifts as a job runs long.
That depends on where it sits. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. On private property with adequate setback it is usually simpler, but check the dumpster permit requirements page for the kind of review Providence may require for similar equipment, or the porta potty permit requirements page if you are placing sanitation units on the same lot.
Often, yes, if the site is accessible and a truck is free. Delivery windows tighten during peak construction season, so booking a few days ahead beats calling the morning you need it. Our request a quote form is the fastest way to check current availability.
A container is sealed steel storage with no climate control or interior workspace. A mobile office trailer rental gives you a desk, power and a door crew can walk through to plan the day. Many Providence sites rent both side by side, sometimes with a light tower rental added for night work.
It needs a level, stable surface, similar to the firm footing ADA Standards 302.1 requires for accessible routes on a job site. Compacted gravel usually works. Soft or sloped ground may need leveling blocks before we set the unit down.
