Renting in the Triad

Business rentals for a busy metro.

Winston-Salem is one of the longer runs in our free delivery zone at about 56 road miles down US-52, but that distance does not change what you pay. A rented container here is $165 a month for a 20-ft box and $235 a month for a 40-ft box, out the door. Delivery, leveling on blocks, and the welded lockbox are already included, and when you are done with it we pick it up for free too.

There is no contract. You rent month to month for as long as the job, the season, or the project needs a box on site, and you are not locked into a term you did not ask for. Plenty of businesses in a metro the size of Winston-Salem need secure on-site storage for a stretch of weeks or months rather than forever, and that is exactly what the rental program is built around.

Common uses

What Winston-Salem businesses use a rental for.

The Triad has a lot of active development right now, and a rented container is a common sight on a jobsite for exactly that reason. Beyond construction, we see steady demand from a few other kinds of Winston-Salem renters.

  • Construction and jobsite rentals for tools, materials, and equipment while a build is underway
  • Business inventory or seasonal overflow storage when a warehouse or stockroom runs tight
  • Renovation storage for the city's older housing stock, keeping contents secure while a house is being worked on
  • Event and retail seasonal storage, brought in and picked up around a specific stretch of the calendar

Whatever the reason, the box shows up locked and ready. The welded lockbox is standard on every rental we send out, so there is nothing extra to add on for security.

The crossover point

When renting turns into buying.

A lot of business use in a metro like Winston-Salem is genuinely open-ended, a jobsite that keeps going, storage that becomes permanent, a program that just never wraps up. If that sounds like your situation, it is worth running the math before you keep renting indefinitely.

The rough crossover where buying beats renting is about 18 to 20 months. Past that point, ongoing rental payments generally add up to more than a used cargo-worthy container would cost you outright.

We also run a rent-to-own program, and in many cases we can credit a portion of what you've already paid toward the purchase price if you decide to buy the box you're renting. The specific terms depend on your situation, so that part is a phone call rather than something we spell out here. Call (276) 237-6144 and we will walk through the numbers with you.

Getting it there and back

Free delivery and free pickup, even at this distance.

Fifty-six miles is a longer haul than most of our free zone, but Winston-Salem is still comfortably inside the 75-mile radius from the Woodlawn yard, so both the delivery and the eventual pickup are free. There is no mileage surcharge tacked on for the distance and no separate line item for hauling it back out when the rental ends.

Containers arrive on a tilt-bed trailer, so the site needs about 65 feet of straight, clear pull-in for a 20-ft container or about 95 feet for a 40-ft container, with clear overhead the whole way in. Ground needs to be firm enough to carry a loaded delivery truck. We level the container on blocks as part of every delivery, and if your site has real slope to it, we will talk through it on the phone before the truck ever gets loaded.
