Delivery on grass or sand is generally not the most stable option, and our transport partners may consider them unsuitable surfaces. Specifically, delivery on sand is not possible, while we prefer to avoid delivering directly onto grass. However, if you still prefer to have the container placed on grass, please share a photo of the location and ensure that the surface is dry, packed and firm.

For the delivery process, a hard flat surface is necessary on the road, entrance, and the designated spot for the container. This is because both the delivery trucks and the container itself are heavy, requiring a firm surface to safely maneuver and position them. In the case of placing the container on grass Additionally, the ground should be dry, packed and firm to avoid any issues with the truck sinking into soft ground during unloading.

While grass is generally easy to repair once you’re finished with the container, it is important to note that if the area is wet, access may be restricted once the delivery is complete. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the condition of the ground and ensure it meets the necessary requirements for a successful and smooth delivery process.

Shipping containers need to be kept level; otherwise, you may encounter issues with the doors, such as stiffness or becoming unworkable. These containers are specifically designed to tolerate a certain level of flexing while at sea on a shipping vessel. However, when you place a shipping container on uneven ground, it may flex to one side, causing difficulties in properly closing the doors.

To ensure smooth operation of the doors, it is recommended to clear any debris from the surroundings. Despite their size and strength, containers are sensitive to shifting when placed on uneven ground.

While our transport partner can assist during the placement of the container, it is your responsibility to have a leveled ground prepared beforehand. Please make the necessary arrangements to have the ground leveled prior to delivery.

No, we are unable to drop the containers on raised foundation pillars or high, permanent cribbing.  We don’t recommend cribbing, we feel a flat, level aggerate surface is best for containers.  However, we can assist you setting your container on lumber or blocks if you so choose.  To do this you will need to select the cribbing option on the check out page. 

Unfortunately not.. There is no crane involved in delivery. 

1. Determine which way the doors of the container will face once it is delivered. This will help you plan the placement of the container at your location prior to your container arrival.
2. Ensure that you have enough space to fully open the container doors when placed. Take into account the width and height of the doors. It is recommended to walk the area and understand the footprint of a 20-40ft container on your property.
