Delivery Space Required

The truck will be almost 10' wide, and will need at least 12" on each side (12' total width), as well as space to maneuver after the box is dropped (60' for 20' containers and 120' for 40's + space to turn and drive away). This ample space ensures our drivers can safely position your container without obstructions, whether it's a 20ft container delivery or a 40ft container delivery.

Delivery Weight Requirements

The delivery truck can weigh as much as 45,000 lbs., so soft surfaces such as mud or wet grass can cause the truck to sink and get stuck. If there is a risk of sinking in, the driver may refuse delivery at the site. Please ensure your chosen delivery spot has a firm, stable surface capable of supporting heavy loads. This is critical for successful free delivery and avoiding complications.

Delivery Maneuvers Needed

Please make sure there is enough space for the truck to make wide turns, get between gates or other obstructions, and safely set up for delivery. Remember, trucks make wide turns. Clear any vehicles, equipment, or debris from the access path and delivery area to allow our professional drivers ample room.

Delivery Obstructions

The truck is 13'6" before it tilts, and can be up to 16' tall at its peak during delivery, make sure there are no power lines, tree branches, or other obstructions. Overhead clearances are just as vital as ground space for a safe and successful container delivery by our team.

Additional Information

Delivery should only take about 15 minutes once the driver arrives (as long as your site is ready). If the driver is required to wait more than 30 minutes after arriving on site to start delivery, the customer may be charged for wait time. If the driver is unable to safely deliver, the customer may still be charged a dry run fee. We outsource all deliveries to professional local haulers. The customer and driver on site are responsible for all safety decisions (more info in our terms and conditions). Please contact us if you're not sure about your site. Our commitment to free delivery is upheld when the site is prepared; communication is key if you have any concerns.

The most common issue after delivery is that the doors don't open and close easily. Even though containers are all steel, if they are on uneven surfaces or loaded heavily to one side, they can twist just slightly enough for the doors not to line up properly and be very difficult to open and close. The best solution is to place wood blocks under the door frame (and ideally the length of the container). This will ensure your doors line up properly and open/close smoothly. Most major hardware stores or lumber yards will have 8' long 4 x 4's, or railroad ties available for purchase. We recommend 2-3 pieces for 20' containers, and 4-6 pieces for 40's.... but remember that the most important spot is under the cargo doors.
