How to Select the Perfect Storage Container Size for Your Needs

Apr 28, 2025

Whether you’re preparing for a construction project, a commercial move, or just need extra space, choosing the right size storage container is key to saving time, money, and hassle. But how do you know which size is best for your specific situation?

Here’s a helpful guide from Knight Storage Trailer—Central Florida’s trusted source for both rental and sales of portable storage containers.


Common Container Sizes and What They’re Good For

Knight Storage Trailer offers a variety of sizes to fit any job, including:

  • 10-Foot Containers: Great for residential use or tight spaces. Ideal for tools, seasonal inventory, or small renovation projects.

  • 20-Foot Containers: The most versatile size. Works well for small businesses, job site storage, or household moves.

  • 40-Foot Containers: Best for large-scale commercial storage or long-term projects with bulky equipment or pallets of inventory.

View detailed specs and options on their types of containers page.


Key Considerations for Choosing the Right Size

  1. Amount of Items to Store

    • Make a list or take measurements of your items. Overestimating slightly is better than running out of space.

  2. Space on Your Property

    • Will the container fit where you plan to place it? Knight Storage Trailer offers guidance on onsite storage setups to ensure smooth delivery and placement.

  3. Duration of Use

    • Temporary use may benefit from a smaller, easier-to-place container. Long-term projects might require something larger and more robust.

  4. Ease of Access

    • Double-door containers make accessing items easier. This is especially important if you’ll be frequently loading and unloading.
