Your container,
placed exactly where you want it.
Most competitors drop the box and drive. We pre-call, photo-verify the site, and walk you through placement. Typical delivery is 5–7 business days after payment (Rural or long-haul ZIPs can run 7–14 business days. Most of that window is lining up a tilt-bed hauler to your ZIP, not purchasing the container.).
Driver pre-call
24-48 hours before delivery, the driver calls you to confirm the address, discuss site access, and schedule a tight window. No mystery deliveries.
Site assessment
You'll send a couple photos of the placement area. We'll tell you if the tilt-bed will clear or if we need crane or forklift, before dispatch.
Tilt-bed delivery (default)
A tilt-bed trailer slides the container off by tilting the bed and rolling backwards. A 20ft unit needs about 60 ft of straight approach; a 40ft unit needs 100 to 125 ft. Driver places it exactly where you've marked.
Sign-off + photos
You inspect the container against the grade spec, confirm it's placed correctly, and sign off. Driver sends photos to our depot for the file.
Tilt-bed delivery
Standard method for 95% of deliveries. The trailer tilts and rolls the container backwards onto your pad. Fastest, cheapest, and included in every quote unless we flag a site issue.
- • 20ft: ~60 ft straight approach · 40ft: 100–125 ft
- • 16 ft overhead clearance (tree limbs, wires, eaves)
- • 12 ft width comfortable, 10 ft minimum
- • Hard-packed ground only (concrete, asphalt, dry gravel)
- • Even empty, ~4,000 lb (20ft) or ~8,000 lb (40ft)
Crane delivery
When tilt-bed can’t work, tight urban lots, steep grades, drop-over fences, or rooftop placements. We source a local crane operator and coordinate the lift.
Exact quote comes from the crane company, we don’t markup.
- • “Delivery TBD”, a real seller knows the delivered price at quote time
- • Huge fuel surcharges added post-quote
- • No driver pre-call, you’ll find out about site issues on delivery day
- • Delivery windows measured in weeks, typical is 5–7 business days
