The “Heavy Lifter” — Our 15-Yard Heavy-Materials Specialist
The 15-yard “Heavy Lifter” is the container we reach for when weight matters more than volume: dirt, concrete, sod, pavers, brick, and the dense debris that breaks other rentals’ budgets.
At 18′ × 8′ × 3′, it runs long and low — the 3-foot walls make it the easiest container we carry to load by hand, and the flat profile sits tidy on driveways where taller boxes draw attention. Base price $429 with 1 ton included, up to 15 tons maximum — the highest weight ceiling in its class — at 15 days standard rental.
Book online or call (410) 808-7000 — if the material is dense, this is the box, and we’ll confirm it in two minutes.

What Goes in the Heavy Lifter
Why Low Walls Win
Dense material punishes tall containers — fill a tall box with concrete and the truck can’t lift it. The Heavy Lifter’s 3-foot profile is built for exactly that reality: heavy items walk in through the rear door at waist height, dense loads sit low where they belong, and the flat top makes it obvious when you’re level and legal. Heavy materials go in the Heavy Lifter; bulky-but-light projects belong one size up in the 20-yard “Weekend Warrior”.
Half-Load Rule for Dense Material
Concrete, dirt, and brick should fill the box halfway — not to the top. These materials run 2,000+ pounds per cubic yard, and the safe, legal fill line for dense loads is well below the rail. The $200 flat clean-load rate prices the full dense load, not the volume, so there’s no penalty for the half-fill — just a container that hauls safely.
How It Works
1
Book online or call (410) 808-7000 — tell us the material; we’ll confirm the Heavy Lifter is the right call
2
Same-week drop — driveway, pad, or lot; boards down where surfaces need protecting
3
Load through the walk-in rear door — heavy pieces roll in (loading tips)
4
15 days standard — $10/day beyond; heavy jobs rarely need more
