Compare offers from multiple suppliers. Find the right price for your project.
Compare a compact 10ft unit, a 20ft or 40ft standard container, and a 40ft High Cube around the goods you need to store and the condition you want. For a San Francisco purchase, identify the offered unit and distinguish its final site use from the unloading operation and any temporary mobile-storage service.
Choose useful length and height, then compare condition. Follow the format links for the model details; these illustrations do not identify local stock.
Choose a shorter standard unit for a defined stock list. Sketch shelves and retrieval space beside the items, rather than filling every part of the floor.
Nominal product reference; the offered model and any alterations determine its finished measurements.
Use the selections to describe a comparison. Check photographs, repairs, floor and door operation on the unit offered.
Consider a long storage run when material length or stock volume calls for it. Compare the door end with the intended loading direction.

Use the selections to describe a comparison. Check photographs, repairs, floor and door operation on the unit offered.
Compare compact dry storage for a small load; check the construction route and finished measurements of the particular unit.

Use the selections to describe a comparison. Check photographs, repairs, floor and door operation on the unit offered.
Add height only when your contents or proposed fit-out can use it. A tall shell still needs a workable finished layout.

A nominal format helps compare the purchase. Actual-unit evidence and the proposed site remain part of the decision.
Specify a loading opening or an occupied layout as part of the finished project, with the shell and conversion distinguished.
Describe the people, furniture and services needed for an office. Include that occupied activity when the property's use is discussed.
Compare the finished workspace, equipment and installation scope. A storage-shell description does not establish an approved office use.
Put a loading opening where the stored goods will be retrieved. Compare the fitted door and the outside working area as one access arrangement.
Identify the finished clear opening and door mechanism, with the work required on the actual shell.
A listing aimed at San Francisco can still leave the pickup point or street operation unspecified. Price the container and transport separately, then describe the work needed to reach its intended position.
| Part of the comparison | Identify in the written quote |
|---|---|
| Offered unit | Size, condition, photographs, modifications and actual release address. |
| Trip and placement | Receiving street and entrance, truck or lifting equipment, unloading sequence and final position. |
| Work outside the unit | Any waiting, street arrangements, return visit, ground work and utility connections. |
Record the lasting site use and the temporary delivery activity separately so each discussion has the right facts.
Mark the final container position and the footprint of any proposed fitted office. Record storage contents or the people and activity planned inside; add door direction and service connections to the project description.
List the truck, lifting equipment and any separate container stop. Show their work areas and the access that must remain usable. A curbside unloading operation and a mobile moving/storage service need different questions.
Keep the receiving parcel, the unloading work area and any later movement identifiable in the request. Name the party responsible for each part.
City and County of San Francisco; actual parcel and activity
Use the property's address or parcel to check its zoning district and prior project information through SF Planning. Explain whether the purchase is for storage, an occupied conversion or a changed business use. The Property Information Map helps assemble that context; Planning and any other reviewing agencies decide the project requirements.
San Francisco public right of way; actual delivery operation
A private landing position does not settle the street work needed to reach it. Ask Public Works about the actual truck, unloading and curb setup. Its Street Space and Temporary Occupancy routes address different activities; describe the operation before choosing a process.
San Francisco temporary mobile storage; authorized operator process
San Francisco's temporary mobile-storage route concerns short-term loading and transport in the public right of way. An authorized operator needs an annual permit, and an annual permit holder applies for an individual location permit. This is separate from permission to keep a purchased steel container on a private site.
This guide concerns the City and County of San Francisco. South San Francisco and other Bay Area municipalities have separate authorities; a regional sales area does not determine the receiving property’s requirements.
Identify the offered unit and pickup address, the San Francisco receiving parcel, the intended activity and final position. Add the unloading work area, any later move and who will arrange each street or site operation.
