Container Sizes in Dallas
Three Portable Storage Containers Sized for Any Move, Renovation, or Project
Picking the right container size before delivery day saves you from paying for space you don’t use or discovering mid-pack that you need more room. Go Mini's of Dallas offers three sizes: 12-foot, 16-foot, and 20-foot portable storage containers, each matched to a different scope of project. We deliver directly to your door, you load at your own pace, and we handle transport to your next location or store the container securely at our off-site facility until you’re ready.
As a locally owned and operated business serving the Dallas area, we built this guide to help you match the right container to your move, renovation, or storage need before you request a quote.

Go Mini’s Container Size Options
Each option below covers typical capacity and the kinds of projects it fits best. Use these descriptions alongside our storage calculator to estimate how much space your belongings actually require.
12-Foot Container
Our smallest option works well for focused, lower-volume projects. It holds the contents of a small-to-medium room, a dorm, or a studio apartment, with room for appliances like a compact refrigerator or a washer/dryer combo alongside outdoor equipment and miscellaneous belongings. If you’re clearing out a single room during a minor renovation, moving from an apartment, or decluttering before a sale, the 12-foot container is a practical fit.
16-Foot Container
Our mid-size option handles moves and renovation projects that span more than one room. It holds the contents of a moderately sized condo or apartment, including sofas, beds, dressers, and dining tables, making it a strong choice when you need to empty two or three rooms at once. Larger renovation scopes or a multi-room commercial storage need fit here too.
20-Foot Container
Our largest container is built for full-scale home moves, major renovations, and large storage needs. It’s versatile enough to hold everyday household items alongside bulkier belongings that wouldn’t fit comfortably into a smaller container. If you’re moving a larger home or clearing out an entire property for a significant renovation, this is the size to consider.
How to Choose the Right Size
Start by estimating the total volume of what you’re storing. Visualizing how your furniture and boxes would stack, or measuring larger items, gives you a working sense of scale before you commit. Bulky items like sectional sofas or large appliances take up disproportionate space and often push a project from a 12-foot container into a 16-foot container, or from a 16-foot container into a 20-foot container. If you’re unsure, our storage calculator can help you run those estimates, and our team is available by phone to talk through the decision.
