Customers can choose to have the container delivered to their location or pick it up from our depot.
Make Sure There’s Enough Room for Delivery
Before your delivery driver arrives, double-check that there’s enough space for the truck to move around. Our drivers need a straight line of 120 feet, a width of 14 feet, and a clearance height of 14 feet to deliver your shipping container smoothly. Make sure the roads leading to your site are wide enough for turns and clear of obstacles like low-hanging wires, branches, fences, and other common blockages. Your delivery spot should have enough turning space to ensure a hassle-free roll-off.
Delivery trucks are heavy, especially when carrying a shipping container, so they can easily get stuck on soft surfaces. Here’s a quick rundown of suitable and unsuitable terrains.
Suitable:
– Dry, compacted gravel or dirt
– Asphalt
– Concrete
Not Recommended:
– Loose dirt
– Wet gravel or dirt
– Mud
– Sand
– Soft grass
– Snow and ice
– Steep inclines or slopes
– Drains
– Ditches
– Trenches
When picking a spot for your container, make sure the ground is hard and level. An uneven surface can cause the container to settle improperly, potentially bending the door frame and making it difficult to open and close. The best surfaces are concrete or asphalt. We also suggest placing wood blocks, iron plates, or something similar under the corners to keep everything level.
