How much room do you need for a container delivery?

This is the question that decides whether delivery day goes well or turns into a wasted truck. It is worth two minutes before you book anything.

How it is actually placed

A tilt-bed truck backs in, tilts the bed up, and slides the container off while pulling forward. It is not craned or set sideways. That means the truck needs a straight run roughly the length of the container plus the truck itself.

20 ft container: about 60 ft of straight clearance
40 ft container: about 100 ft of straight clearance
Overhead: the bed tilts high — low limbs, service drops and carport eaves all stop a delivery

Ground

Gravel or concrete is ideal. Firm level dirt works. Soft sand, fresh fill, or a yard soaked from three days of rain will bog a loaded truck, and a stuck truck is everybody’s bad day. If you are unsure, say so — it changes scheduling, not the price.

What stops a delivery

A gate or tree gap narrower than the truck
A turn too tight to straighten out before the drop
Power or cable lines over the placement spot
Soft ground after heavy rain
Nobody able to confirm the spot when the driver arrives

When you request a price you mark the exact spot on an aerial of your own property and flag anything tight. We check it before scheduling rather than discovering it with a truck in your driveway.
