Your U-Box container number is typically found on the side of the container. Look for a large, bold identification number starting with AA or AB, which is your equipment ID. The container itself is usually orange or white, approximately 7 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4.5 feet high. The equipment ID number will be clearly printed on a metal plate or directly on the container’s surface near the top or on the door.
