COMMERCIAL

Commercial: 20 ft standard for tighter sites. 40 ft high cube for tools, materials, inventory, and equipment.

Commercial rentals are about access and volume

Commercial rentals are about access and volume

For yards and jobsites, the best rental is the one crews can access safely and use repeatedly.

  • 20 ft standard: tighter job sites, tools, parts, and smaller inventories.
  • 40 ft high cube: bulk materials, equipment, commercial overflow, and longer projects with room for delivery.
  • Before dispatch: confirm branch, site contact, delivery lane, surface, door direction, term, and pickup plan.

Need an office, modified unit, or specialty container? Ask us to confirm rental availability before scheduling.

Rentals are built for temporary storage, moving, jobsite overflow, and project space when buying is not the best fit.

  • Tell us what you are storing, where it is going, and roughly how long you expect to need it.
  • We confirm the container size, nearest branch, delivery area, site access, and current availability before dispatch.
  • Storage containers are commonly available in 20 ft and 40 ft sizes. Offices, modified units, and specialty containers are confirmed by request.
  • Secure storage: Wind and watertight containers with cargo doors and lockbox-style security protection on many units.
  • Flexible term: Useful for renovations, seasonal storage, jobsite tools, commercial overflow, moving, restoration work, and temporary projects.
  • Portable placement: TCG can deliver, place, pick up, or relocate the unit when the site and access allow.
  • Industrial build: Containers are heavy-duty steel products designed for practical storage, not showroom furniture.

Good delivery starts with a clear site plan before the truck arrives.

  • Have a site contact present or reachable to confirm placement and door direction.
  • Prepare firm, reasonably level ground. Blocking, timbers, concrete blocks, or container pads help support the unit and keep doors working properly.
  • Tell us about tight access, slopes, soft ground, snow, mud, overhead wires, branches, fences, concrete, asphalt, landscaping, underground services, or other hazards before dispatch.
  • The driver may adjust, decline, or reschedule a placement if conditions are unsafe or materially different than expected.
  • A signed rental agreement is required before delivery unless TCG has approved a different written process.
  • Photo ID is required for personal customers and small businesses. Large corporations with rental purchase orders may be handled through an approved account process.
  • Rental charges are billed per unit and usually begin on the delivery date. Offices, modified units, specialty containers, or reserved inventory may begin billing when the rental is booked and inventory is held.
  • First month's rent, delivery, pickup, accessories, deposits, and payment authorization may be required before delivery.
  • Approved business credit terms may be set out in the credit application, invoice, rental agreement, or written approval.
  • We ask for 30 days notice to end a rental so pickup can be planned properly.
  • In many areas, pickup can often happen within 5 to 10 business days after the ended-rental confirmation is completed and dispatched.
  • The unit should be empty, swept, unlocked, accessible, and ready for the driver before pickup.
  • Customer property must be removed before pickup. Cleaning, damage, failed pickup, disposal, or extra handling charges may apply when the unit is not ready or accessible.

Buying a rental container can be possible, but it needs to be handled correctly before the rental starts.

  • If a buyout price is negotiated up front and an available-for-sale container is sent, TCG can apply the agreed purchase-option credit toward the buyout.
  • When eligible, that credit is generally based on half of the first six months of rent plus the pickup fee, subject to the written agreement and final inspection.
  • TCG rental fleet units are not automatically for sale. If a fleet unit was delivered, a later purchase request may require swapping to a sale-inventory unit.
  • For the current customer reference, see Rental terms and purchase options.

Rental Expectations

A few details are best confirmed before dispatch.

Rental containers are meant to be simple, but the quote still depends on the branch, container size, delivery area, term, site access, and whether a future purchase option is part of the plan.

01

Billed as a rental term

Rental charges, delivery, pickup, and deposits are confirmed before dispatch. New rental accounts may require payment and paperwork before delivery.

02

Buyout terms must be clear

If a buyout is negotiated up front and an available-for-sale unit is sent, eligible rent and pickup credits can be applied as agreed after inspection and paperwork.

03

Fleet units are different

A TCG rental fleet unit is not automatically for sale. If a customer wants to buy later, we may need to swap in a sale-inventory unit.

04

Return it ready

Rental containers should be empty, swept, unlocked, accessible for pickup, and returned in the same general condition except normal wear. Customer property should be removed before pickup.
