A 20ft storage container gives you about 160 square feet of lockable space, roughly 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet tall on the outside. Torrance Porta Pros rents them by the month, and pricing sits between $100 and $250 depending on condition and site access.
Storage rentals run monthly, not daily, which is different from how porta potty rental cost works for toilets. A basic 20ft box lands toward the lower end of the range, while a newer or climate-adjusted unit pushes higher. Delivery is a separate line item, and Torrance Porta Pros quotes that based on distance and site access, similar to how delivery is billed for roll-off dumpster rental or a restroom trailer rental.

If you are comparing a 20ft against a 40ft box for a bigger Torrance job, check 40ft storage container or the general storage container rental cost page before you commit. Some contractors pair a container with a mobile office trailer rental so tools sit in one box and paperwork happens in the other. If you only need a place to lock up equipment overnight near a jobsite that also needs toilets, look at construction site services for the full list of what Torrance Porta Pros delivers together.
Exact tare weight varies by manufacturer and steel gauge, so ask Torrance Porta Pros for the spec sheet on the specific unit before you plan a crane pick or a weight-sensitive floor. What matters more for most renters is footprint: figure a full 20 by 8 foot pad, plus swing room for the doors. A roll-off dumpster rental needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck, and a storage container delivery needs similar drop clearance, so measure your driveway or lot before scheduling. If you are stacking a container against a fence line for a Torrance renovation, pair it with temporary fence rental so the perimeter stays secured too. For dimension comparisons across sizes, see dumpster sizes and dimensions, which covers the debris side of a jobsite even though containers and dumpsters serve different jobs.
Yes, and it is a different product than a plain steel storage box. A mobile office setup usually rides on its own trailer chassis and includes a door, sometimes a window, and interior finish work, so it is meant for site staff rather than pure storage. If you need desks and a lockable file cabinet on a Torrance jobsite, ask about the mobile office trailer rental option directly instead of a bare 20ft cold storage container. Cold storage units, by contrast, are built to hold temperature for perishable materials or supplies and cost more than a standard dry box because of the insulation and refrigeration unit. Torrance sits about 8.6 miles southeast of El Segundo and 4.8 miles northwest of Lomita, so delivery routing across either direction is a normal day for the crew, whether the load is a container, a dumpster, or a restroom trailer rental headed to an event site.
Rentals are month to month, with no fixed maximum. Many Torrance contractors keep a container on site for the length of a full renovation or build-out, then extend or swap it. Ask Torrance Porta Pros about long-term rates if the job runs past a few months.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. If the container sits fully on private property, most residential and commercial sites do not need a separate placement permit, but check dumpster permit requirements for the parallel process, since the review is often handled the same way.
Tools, materials, fixtures, furniture and inventory all fit. Avoid flammable liquids, propane and anything requiring climate control unless you have specifically rented a cold storage unit. For active jobsite waste instead of storage, see what cannot go in a dumpster for the disposal side of that question.
