Extensive Rental Fleet – Containers & Trailers
Our rental fleet includes a wide range of storage containers Wilmington customers rely on, along with storage trailers designed for flexible, on-site use. We offer 20′ and 40′ ground-level rental containers, 20′ and 40′ office containers, as well as 28′–53′ dry van storage trailers for rent. Units are rented by the month and delivered directly to your location. We proudly serve Wilmington and the surrounding areas within a 150-mile radius, making Tidewater Storage a trusted provider across Eastern North Carolina.
Our containers are available in 20′ and 40′ lengths. Standard units are 8′ wide and 8.5′ tall, while 40′ hi-cube container storage rentals provide an additional foot of height for increased capacity. We also offer 40′ ground-level office/storage combination units with 16′ of office space and 24′ of storage space, as well as 20′ and 40′ all-office units. Select 40′ units feature doors on both ends for added accessibility, making them ideal portable storage container units that Eastern NC customers need for job sites and commercial locations.
Our trailer fleet includes dry van warehouse trailers in 28′, 48′, and 53′ storage trailers for rent, offering another dependable option for on-site storage trailers. Most units feature roll-up doors, with limited swing-door availability. Road-use storage container trailer rental options are available for specific applications, provided the necessary insurance documentation is submitted. These dock-height container trailers are well-suited for grocery, retail, warehouse, and distribution operations.
Delivery Requirements
We deliver storage trailer rentals that customers request directly to job sites and designated locations. All deliveries are handled by Tidewater-owned equipment and experienced drivers. Our fleet includes single-axle trucks and 42′ hydraulic rollback drop-deck flatbeds, ensuring safe placement of rental storage trailers and trailer containers. Our drivers are long-time employees and assist with proper positioning on site.
For a 40′ container delivery, we require a straight 100′ clearance to safely place the unit. A 20′ container requires an 80′ straight shot. Delivery areas must be at least 12′ wide with 13.5′ of overhead clearance. Containers are tilted at a 45-degree angle during placement. Small rollback truck delivery options are available for tighter spaces at an additional fee, supporting flexible storage trailer rentals across diverse sites.
Ground Conditions
Ground conditions play an important role in successful portable storage trailer and container placement. The surface must be solid, level, and dry to ensure proper door alignment and locking functionality. Unlevel or wet ground can prevent secure placement and may impact usability. Customers who want to rent storage trailers should ensure ground conditions are suitable before delivery.
Delivery Recommendations
To reduce condensation and improve airflow, we recommend elevating storage containers using treated lumber, railroad ties, or similar materials. This helps prevent moisture buildup inside the unit. Customers are responsible for providing elevation materials, which may be placed at each corner or across the width of the container.
When placing rental containers on new asphalt, plywood underneath the container is highly recommended to protect the surface. Plywood should be onsite at the time of delivery.
Containers
Our inventory includes 20′ and 40′ ground-level storage containers Wilmington businesses depend on for secure, flexible storage. Standard containers are 8′ wide and 8.5′ tall, with 40′ hi-cube units available at 9.5′ tall.
