10ft Storage Container

On a properly prepared surface, damage is uncommon. A 20 foot container weighs about 4,800 lbs empty and a 40 foot about 8,200 lbs, with the weight concentrated on four corner castings. On asphalt in warm weather, or on older concrete, the corner castings can leave marks. Placing plywood or timbers under the corners cuts that risk way down.

Every container has a place for you to attach your own padlock. You can use any commercial padlock, but we strongly recommend our 13-pound heavy-duty Eagle Locks for serious protection. Standard padlocks are easy targets. A proper container lock makes a real difference in whether your contents stay where you put them.

Wind and water tight means the container is fully sealed against weather, with no holes, no daylight through the walls, and intact door gaskets that keep rain, wind, and pests out. Every Eagle WWT unit is inspected before it leaves the yard, so your contents stay dry and secure. WWT is the standard most customers want for general storage.

Not required, but we strongly recommend it. Having someone on site means you can point the driver to the exact placement spot, confirm door orientation, and flag any access issues before the container is set. If you can’t be there, leave clear written instructions and mark the placement area.

Double-door units have doors on both ends, so you can load from either side or create a drive-through for easy access to anything stored inside. Open-side units have doors that run the full length of one side, giving forklift access to the entire interior at once, ideal for long materials, pipe, or frequently accessed inventory.

With 25,000+ units staged across 20+ branches from Maine to Michigan, most markets are served within 24 to 48 hours. Delivery timing depends on your location and unit availability, so the fastest way to lock in a date is to request a quote and tell us when you need it on site.
