A 40 foot storage container rental gives you roughly double the space of a 20ft box, and Lexington Porta Pros prices 40ft storage container rental monthly between $100 and $250 depending on length of stay and site access. Most Lexington contractors book one for tool storage or overflow materials on multi-month jobs.
A 40-footer holds the contents of a large house, several pallets of framing lumber, or a full set of finish carpentry tools with room to walk a cart through. Compare it against the 20ft storage container if your job site is tighter or your load is lighter. Contractors running multi-phase builds in Lexington often pair a container with a mobile office trailer rental so paperwork and tools sit on the same footprint. If you are still deciding on footprint, dumpster sizes and dimensions is a useful comparison for anyone juggling both a container and a roll-off on the same lot, and general storage container rental pricing sits in the same range regardless of which length you land on. Delivery trucks need clearance to set the unit down, similar to the 60 feet of straight clearance a roll-off delivery needs, so walk your driveway or lot before the truck shows up. Crews searching for 40 foot storage container rental near California or Texas job sites will find the same clearance rule applies no matter the state, since the truck and trailer dimensions do not change.
Monthly rates run in the same band whether you are near downtown Lexington or out toward Nicholasville, 15.3 miles southwest, or Versailles, 15.7 miles west. Site access, ground condition, and rental length all move the number.

For full cost breakdowns across sizes, see storage container rental cost. If your project also needs a dumpster on-site, check dumpster rental cost and construction dumpster rental so you can budget both line items together. Renovation crews frequently rent a home renovation porta potty alongside the container, since most residential lots in Lexington do not have a bathroom crews can use during a gut job.
Placement in the public right of way, or even on a front driveway that runs close to the street, needs confirming with the city before delivery. Lexington Porta Pros can position the unit anywhere accessible by truck, but the permit question is yours to check locally. This is the same caution we give for dumpster permit requirements, since both a roll-off and a storage container sit on wheels or skids that can technically block a sidewalk or lane if placed wrong. If you are planning a roll-off dumpster rental at the same time, confirm both placements in one call to save a second site visit.
Job sites running a container long-term often add a temporary fence rental around the storage area, particularly chain link temporary fence, to keep tools and materials secured overnight. Sites with limited daylight during winter months sometimes add a light tower rental near the container for after-hours loading, and larger builds may need a temporary power pole if tools are charged on-site. For general site planning across sanitation, storage, and fencing together, construction site services covers how these pieces fit on one job.
Rentals run month to month, with the $100 to $250 range covering most jobs. Longer stays typically land toward the lower end of that band once delivery and pickup costs are spread across more months. Confirm your project timeline before booking so pricing is set correctly from day one.
Yes. A firm, level pad keeps the doors square and prevents the unit from settling unevenly over a multi-month rental. Gravel, asphalt, and concrete all work. Soft ground or a steep slope may require fill or a different placement on your lot.
No, not without another delivery visit. Once placed, a 40ft container stays put until pickup. Pick your final spot before the truck arrives, factoring in access for loading throughout the rental.
The 40ft unit roughly doubles the storage volume of the 20ft storage container on the same delivery footprint. Choose 40ft for full house contents or heavy equipment storage, and 20ft for tools and smaller material runs.
Right-of-way and driveway placement near the street needs confirming with the city before delivery. Lexington Porta Pros can advise on typical placement but cannot issue permits. Check with the city directly if your spot is close to a public sidewalk or lane.
