CMG office containers for rent arrive finished inside, with insulation, climate control, lighting, power and data already installed. A container office sits flush on the ground, so it works on a job site, a yard, a school campus or a retail lot.
Each unit is built into a new steel container with SIP panel walls, vinyl flooring over plywood, a steel man door and a 36-inch window. Rentals run month to month with no minimum period. Delivery lands inside 48 to 72 hours from the nearest of five CMG-owned yards.
You can also rent storage containers in other sizes and configurations from the same yards.
Every CMG office container rental includes four things as standard. We have supplied containers since 2003 and holds BBB accreditation.
Structural warranty on every unit, with 10 years wind and watertight.
Two in-house IICL-certified surveyors inspect every unit before dispatch.
From Hillside New Jersey to Houston Texas, holding rental stock.
Typical delivery window, on month-to-month terms with pickup included.
CMG rents office containers in two sizes. Both are built into new containers and carry the same interior specification.
| Specification | 20ft Mobile Office | 40ft Mobile Office |
|---|---|---|
| External length | 20 ft (6.58 m) | 40 ft (12.18 m) |
| External width | 8 ft (2.44 m) | 8 ft (2.44 m) |
| External height | 8 ft 6 in (2.62 m) | 9 ft 6 in (2.90 m) |
| Internal length | 19 ft (5.80 m) | 39 ft 9 in (12.11 m) |
| Internal width | 7 ft 8 in (2.34 m) | 7 ft 8 in (2.34 m) |
| Internal height | 7 ft 10 in (2.38 m) | 8 ft 10 in (2.69 m) |
| Usable floor area | About 146 sq ft | About 305 sq ft |
| Ground footprint | 160 sq ft | 320 sq ft |
| Shell | New steel container | New high cube steel container |
| Warranty | 20 years structural, 10 years wind and watertight | 20 years structural, 10 years wind and watertight |
146 square feet suits a compact site office for one or two desks. 305 square feet takes a full site team with room for a meeting table. Interior width is the same in both sizes at 7 feet 8 inches, so the choice is length and ceiling height rather than width.
The 40ft office is built into a high cube, which adds a foot of interior height over the 20ft unit.
Every CMG office container is finished and wired before it leaves the yard, with insulation, climate control, power, lighting and data installed in the yard rather than after a fit-out. The 40ft unit can also be specified with a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and cookstove on demand.
R-13 insulated walls and air conditioning with heat keep the unit workable through summer heat and winter cold on an exposed site.
R-13 insulation throughout
Power and lighting are wired before dispatch, so the office works from the day it lands.
100 amp breaker box
Data, flooring and openings are finished in the yard, so nothing is left to trade out on site.
CAT5 data box pre-wired
Office is a category, not a size. The configuration decides how the unit works on your site. Rates below exclude delivery and pickup, which are quoted by address. Delivery lands within 48 to 72 hours of a confirmed order.
| Configuration | Monthly rate | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 20ft mobile office | From $500 | A compact site office for one or two desks |
| 20ft office and storage combo | From $800 | Office space plus a secure lockable store |
| 40ft mobile office | From $1,000 | A full site team with room for meetings |
| 40ft office and storage combo | From $1,250 | A larger office with a full storage bay |
A combo unit splits one container into a finished office at one end and a lockable storage bay at the other, replacing two deliveries with one. It suits a site that needs both a desk and a lockable store but has room for only one unit.
A ground level office sits flush on the ground. Anyone walks straight in, including a wheelchair user, with no steps and no ramp. A mobile office trailer sits on a wheeled chassis above grade, so it needs a stair unit and a landing before anyone can use it.
| Point of difference | Ground level office container | Mobile office trailer |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Flush with the ground, no steps | Raised on a chassis, stairs required |
| Accessibility | Step-free as delivered | Ramp needed for ADA access |
| Install | Set on level ground | Blocked, levelled and anchored |
| Structure | Corten steel container shell | Framed unit on a wheeled chassis |
| Security | Steel walls and a lockable man door | Lighter panel construction |
| Footprint | 160 or 320 sq ft, 8 ft wide | Wider units, larger site footprint |
| Relocation | Lifted or tilt-bed delivered | Towed on its own chassis |
Where the office is open to the public, ADA access applies, and a raised unit needs a compliant ramp to meet it.
An office container is an occupied structure, which puts it in a different category from a storage box on the same site.
A storage unit is reviewed for placement. An occupied unit is reviewed as a building.
Reviewed as a building
Shipping containers entered the 2021 International Building Code at Section 3115.
2021 IBC Section 3115
ADA applies once the office is open to the public, which is where a ground level unit has the advantage over a raised one.
Step-free as delivered
Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so check with your local building department before the delivery date.
