Delivery Guidelines

Checking Your Space

  • Make sure there is ample space for the trucks and trailers to maneuver, with no obstructions (gates, poles, etc.)
  • The trucks and trailers and HEAVY! Soft surfaces such as grass or mud can cause the truck and trailer to sink and get stuck.
  • At least 12 feet in width will be required for the truck to operate at the drop site.
  • At least 60' in length is required for a 20' container and 80' for a 40' container.
  • Check for overhead obstructions (power lines, branches, etc.) There should be at least 16' of height clearance.
  • It is VERY important to have a level surface! You can lay gravel or concrete where your container will be set or have railroad ties or wood blocks to ensure the container is level. Note: We do not provide leveling materials, please ensure your site is level and ready upon delivery.

Delivery Day

  • One of our drivers will call you the day of delivery to give you a more accurate delivery window.
  • We use tilt-trailers to drop the container, so there is no need for a forklift or crane!

Notice

Let us know when booking if you have any of the following at your delivery site:
  • Rough Roads – grass, mud, large potholes, etc. can be potential problems.
  • Steep Road Inclines and Declines – these can be difficult or impossible to perform the delivery.
  • Tight Turns – there needs to be enough clearance to enter, make turns, and exit.
  • Height Restrictions such as Overhanging Trees, Power Lines, and Low Bridges.
  • Weather – high winds, floods, snow, etc.
  • If you think you have a possible obstruction, give us a call and we can talk through it with you! We always try to make your location work!
