CMG coordinates shipping container delivery around container size, unloading method, site access, clearance, and ground conditions.
Standard rental rates currently start at $100 per month for a 20ft storage container and $175 per month for a 40ft unit. Delivery, placement, and pickup terms depend on the project address, route, access, and container type.
CMG states that most service areas receive delivery within 48 to 72 hours after confirmation. New York may take longer because inventory, routes, street access, permits, and site logistics affect scheduling. Review the delivery process, and do not plan around same-day service unless CMG confirms it.
Permit requirements depend on where and how the container will be placed. A storage container on a City street requires NYC Department of Transportation authorization, and street placement may be restricted.
Placement on private property can still raise zoning, building, fire-access, setback, or site-plan issues. Confirm the plan with NYC DOT, the Department of Buildings, and the property’s project professionals before scheduling delivery.
CMG’s standard rental range includes 20ft and 40ft storage containers, plus double-door, open-side, refrigerated, office, and office-storage combinations. High-cube options may be available by location.
CMG offers month-to-month rentals with no long-term commitment required. Keep the container through the active phase of the project and end the rental when it is no longer needed, subject to the agreement. Separate municipal or property rules may limit how long a container can remain in one location, so confirm the placement period before delivery.
Rental containers use a steel shell and cargo doors. CMG inspects each unit before delivery. Ask whether the quoted unit includes a lock box, 14-gauge steel construction, and a weatherproof or wind-and-watertight rating.
CMG serves New Jersey from its Hillside location and can quote delivery to Long Island and Westchester based on inventory, distance, tolls, route limits, and site access. Coverage is confirmed address by address. For cross-river or outer-metro projects, request a quote early so hauling and pickup terms can be planned accurately. See the New Jersey rental page for details.
