Jobsite container and office rental in Silverthorne

Silverthorne is a Zone C delivery from our Gypsum yard: $750 each way, 66 road miles on I-70 over Vail Pass to exit 205, inside the standard 2–4 week window. It is the flattest and roomiest of the Summit County towns from a truck's point of view, which is why the 40 ft units that will not fit in Breckenridge fit here.

What does delivery to Silverthorne cost?

Delivery is $750 and pickup is $750, charged as two legs with nothing else on the transportation line. The truck is ours, the fee is flat across the season and it is the same for a 10 ft box and a 40 ft office.

From the yard the route is I-70 east over Vail Pass, which tops out at 10,662 ft (Wikipedia), then straight down the far side to exit 205, the first Summit County exit east of the pass. Sites north on Highway 9 toward the Blue River ranch country still price as Silverthorne inside ZIP 80498; anything beyond the ZIP goes to a written route quote from the reserve flow.

Dillon, across the dam, shares ZIP 80435 with Keystone and prices in Zone C as well, so a contractor with work on both sides of the reservoir pays the same fee at each. Frisco and Breckenridge are also Zone C, and the Colorado hub lists every town with its mileage.

What kind of work does Silverthorne bring?

Silverthorne is where Summit County's larger footprints are: the retail and commercial frontage along Blue River Parkway and Highway 9, the multifamily and workforce-housing sites around it, and the redevelopment of the downtown core. Those are 40 ft jobs more often than 10 ft jobs, with room to turn a truck and a schedule that runs through the winter rather than around it.

The town is also the gateway north. Highway 9 follows the Blue River toward Kremmling and the ranch parcels along it, where a lot has no power, no cell signal and no neighbors, and where the Grid-Free 20 ft office at $1,495/mo earns its rate on the first morning. The off-grid and remote solution covers that set-up.

Frontage work on the state highways through town usually comes with a traffic control plan, and the traffic control packages are built for it: the Basic package at $495/mo carries 25 cones, six Type II barricades and two sign stands, the Standard at $695/mo adds Type III barricades and vertical panels, and the Full package at $975/mo covers a longer closure. Temporary fence at $3.50/LF/mo keeps shoppers off an active retail pad, and the fence panel answer turns a frontage into a panel count. A hand-wash station at $85/mo rounds out a site that shares a parking lot with the public.

Which storage container fits a Silverthorne site?

The 40 ft storage container at $425/mo is the unit Silverthorne can take that most of the county cannot: a 9 ft 6 in high-cube box with twice the floor of a 20 ft, on a 3-month minimum, needing a 100 ft straight approach the exit 205 lots usually have. A retail fit-out or a multifamily job with fixtures arriving ahead of the drywall keeps them dry and locked in one place.

The 20 ft storage container at $295/mo remains the default for a single building or a smaller pad, and the 12 ft at $325/mo and 10 ft at $225/mo serve townhome infill where a parking bay is all the space there is. The 20 ft and 40 ft are one-trip ISO boxes with a welded lockbox over the padlock, the 10 ft and 12 ft open through a man door on the long side, and the theft answer covers what else a retail-corridor site should do about the foot traffic.

Which office suits a Silverthorne crew?

Silverthorne sits at roughly 8,800 ft (Wikipedia), the lowest of the Summit County towns, and a housing site here runs a full crew for a year or more. The 40 ft office container with bathroom at $1,595/mo puts the superintendent, the plan table and an enclosed toilet in one unit with mini-split heat and cooling and a 50-amp shore-power inlet, which replaces an office trailer and a rented restroom with one delivery.

For a single superintendent on a powered lot, the Base 20 ft office at $795/mo does the job, and READY at $125/mo delivers it furnished and heated. For a site that will work through the snow season, the Alpine 20 ft office at $1,895/mo adds a standing-seam over-roof, a covered entry deck and backup heat; the 20 ft versus 40 ft guide helps decide between the sizes, and the container office versus trailer comparison explains the steel-shell case.

Do you need a permit for a container in Silverthorne?

Inside town limits the Town of Silverthorne Community Development Department is the authority. It works by appointment, takes building-permit questions at buildinginfo@silverthorne.org or (970) 262-7360, and routes inspections and building-code questions to its contractor, Comprehensive Building Code Services, at (303) 550-2731 (Town of Silverthorne). Planning and zoning questions, including whether a container on your lot needs a review of its own, go to the same department's planning staff.

Sites outside the town limits fall to Summit County Building Inspection at 0037 Peak One Drive in Frisco, (970) 668-3170 (Summit County), which enforces the 2024 International Codes for plans submitted on or after July 1, 2026 (Summit County Building Inspection). The Summit County container answer and the Colorado permit answer lay out the questions to ask, and section 5.2 of the rental agreement makes the permits, HOA approvals and landlord consents yours to hold before the truck arrives.

How does a Silverthorne winter treat the unit?

The Structural Engineers Association of Colorado lists Silverthorne at a 65 psf recommended ground snow load in its 2016 Colorado Design Snow Loads report (SEAC), well under Breckenridge's 80 psf and Vail's 90 psf, with the local building official setting the code value. Read it as a design load for buildings and a measure of the winter, not as a rating for the container's roof, which is not published for any rental unit; our snow load guide has the arithmetic, and the winter office answer covers the working conditions inside.

CDOT requires commercial vehicles to carry chains on I-70 between Morrison and Dotsero from September 1 through May 31 (CDOT), and a Vail Pass closure costs a delivery day, so winter windows are set with weather days in them. On site, a light tower at $1,250/mo carries the short afternoons and a ground heater at $1,450/mo in season keeps footings and slabs on schedule.

What does the truck need at a Silverthorne site?

The checklist above is the agreement's section 5.2 in table form: a pad that is firm, level and drained, 70 ft of straight run for a 20 ft unit and 100 ft for a 40 ft, utilities marked, and one of your people standing there to point at the spot. The delivery space answer shows the 100 ft run on a lot diagram, and the truck size answer shows the tilt-bed it has to fit.

The valley floor is flat by Summit County standards, but the lots that climb toward Wildernest and the ridge above town are not, and the slope answer covers how much cross-slope the truck can work with. The foundation answer covers what belongs under the corners. A truck that reaches a Silverthorne lot and has to leave empty is billed under section 5.3 for that trip and the next, so the checklist is worth an hour before the delivery day.

How do you power and connect a Silverthorne office?

Each office lands with a 50-amp shore-power inlet on the outside wall, and section 7.2 of the agreement allows utilities to be connected only through that inlet, by a licensed electrician, to code. A retail lot on Blue River Parkway usually has service at the property line; a housing pad may wait weeks for it, and the Grid-Free office's 10 kWh battery covers that gap. The off-grid power answer shows what it runs and for how long in January.

The upgrades are priced monthly and stack on any storage container or office (fence and equipment take none): a Starlink dish and router through CONNECT at $259/mo, a camera through WATCH at $129/mo, solar and battery through POWER at $399/mo, or those three together in the JOLT PACK at $699/mo. READY is not in the Pack; it is its own line at $125/mo. For a firm weighing the monthly rate against a kit of its own, the Starlink cost answer runs the numbers for a single job.

What does a Silverthorne rental cost, and how do you reserve?

A Silverthorne invoice reads the same way every month: the rent from the product page, a line for each upgrade you carry, the 12% damage waiver and the 5% environmental fee (each figured on rent plus those recurring upgrades), sales tax at the job address's rate, and, on the first and last invoices only, the $750 delivery or pickup leg. The reservation deposit is $750 on an office and $350 on a storage container, offices run a 3-month minimum, and storage containers other than the 40 ft run month to month after the first. Temporary fence at $3.50/LF/mo takes a $500 deposit, with installation and removal at $1.75 per linear foot each; the fence cost guide turns a perimeter into a monthly number.

To reserve, choose the unit, type 80497 or 80498 into the reserve flow and read the Zone C fee, the each-way total and the deposit before you enter a card; availability comes from the live badge on each product page rather than from this page. A Base office can be on site within 7 business days through JOLT Express for $750. Cancel in writing more than 14 days before your window opens and section 2.2 refunds the deposit in full; stay past the first anniversary and section 3.4 raises the rent 5%, which matters on a housing site that will still be open next winter.

When the job ends, 15 days' written notice schedules the pickup under section 16, rent runs until the unit is retrieved, and the pickup leg is the same $750 as delivery. Empty the unit, clean it out, leave the approach open and have someone on site the way you did for delivery; under section 16.2 a pickup that fails because of site conditions, access or a unit that is not ready is billed as a trip, with rent continuing until the next one succeeds. How it works has the full sequence, the pricing page has every number in one place, and the mountain delivery guide is the read before a first Summit County delivery.
