Container Sizes for Albany Moves & Storage Projects

We offer three container sizes with published dimensions and cubic footage so you can size your rental accurately before you book. The storage calculator on the Go Mini’s website is a useful starting point, and our local team can help you confirm the right fit before you commit.

12 Foot Container

Dimensions: 8’ x 8’ x 12’ (768 cubic feet). Well-suited for studio and dorm relocations, 2–3-room moves, and smaller home or business projects where a full-size container would leave excess unused space.

16 Foot Container

Dimensions: 8’ x 8’ x 16’ (1,024 cubic feet). A practical fit for condo and apartment moves, 3–4-room households, and mid-sized renovation projects that need reliable on-site storage without overcommitting on capacity.

20 Foot Container

Dimensions: 8’ x 8’ x 20’ (1,280 cubic feet). Sized for full-home moves, 4–6-room households, large renovation projects, and high-volume business storage. If you’re combining residential and business inventory in a single rental, this is the container that can handle both.

All three containers are 8 feet wide, roughly the width of a standard car. Choosing the right size reduces cost and avoids the need for a second rental mid-project. When in doubt, sizing up slightly is generally the better call.

Container Construction & Features That Protect Your Belongings

Albany winters bring snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles that can affect stored items. Our containers are built to handle those conditions throughout the rental period.

What’s built into every container:

• Powder-coated steel construction: Resistant to rust, wear, and weather exposure year-round.
• 8-inch ground clearance: Reduces the risk of water seepage from ground moisture.
• Special vents: Reduce humidity buildup inside the container, helping protect against mold and mildew.
• Pressure-treated flooring: Adds an additional layer of moisture resistance at the base.
• Tie-down rings: Secure your belongings during transport. Our containers include 25% more tie-down rings than the competition.
• Padded wheels: Protect your driveway and property during delivery and pickup.
• Customer-controlled padlock: You provide the lock; only you have access.

The MiniGuard Protection Plan is also available. Contact our team for details.

How the Process Works

Four steps take you from booking to final retrieval.

Order Your Container:

Book online or by phone. Choose your delivery date and confirm the location in Albany or Schenectady where you want the container placed.

Pack at Your Own Pace:

We deliver the container to your chosen spot, whether that’s a driveway, parking lot, or commercial property. You load on your own timeline, with no rushing to meet a truck schedule.

Schedule a Pickup:

When you’re done loading, we transport the container to your next destination or to our secure off-site storage facility if you need off-property holding between steps.

Access When Needed:

If your container is held at our secure off-site storage facility, we can deliver it back to your property when you’re ready and pick it up again when you’re done. Our team keeps communication clear so schedule adjustments stay manageable.

Commercial Container Rentals for Albany Businesses

Go Mini’s serves commercial customers across the area, not just residential moves. Contractors, retailers, healthcare facilities, and offices throughout Albany’s Capital Region use our portable storage containers for commercial relocations, on-site construction storage, and inventory management. The process mirrors a residential rental: we deliver to your property and pick up when you’re done, so your team stays focused on operations.

Commercial use cases by container size:

• 12 Foot Container: Supports low-volume inventory stocking, small office moves, and short-term on-site storage for tools or materials.
• 16 Foot Container: A good fit for mid-sized office relocations, retail inventory overflow, and project-phase storage during building renovations.
• 20 Foot Container: Handles high-volume equipment storage, full-facility moves, and construction projects where materials need to stay accessible on-site.

Containers can remain on your commercial property for the full duration of the project, with rental periods flexible enough to cover phased timelines. Albany’s healthcare, government, and education sectors generate regular office and facility storage needs, and our local team is familiar with the access and scheduling requirements those properties bring.
