SITE PREPARATION AND DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS

Successful delivery requires specific site conditions. Failure to meet these requirements may result in delivery delays or equipment issues.

Delivery Equipment

We utilize tilt-bed trailers that allow the container to slide off the back of the truck. No crane or forklift is required for basic drop-off.

Space Requirements

The truck and trailer require a straight path for approach and departure.

For 20ft Containers: 90 feet of straight clearance.
For 40ft Containers: 110 feet of straight clearance.
Width: Minimum 12 feet of width clearance.
Height: Minimum 14 feet of overhead clearance (watch for power lines and tree branches).

Surface and Leveling

The ground surface must be firm and level to ensure proper door operation.

Approved Surfaces: Concrete, asphalt, compacted gravel, or firm dry grass.
Avoid: Soft mud, steep inclines, or low-lying areas prone to flooding.
Leveling Tip: Use WOODEN BLOCKS or railroad ties under the corner castings. If the container is not level, the doors will bind and become difficult to open/close.

Michigan Winter Prep

Snow Management: Ensure the delivery path is plowed.
Elevated Base: Use blocks to prevent the container from freezing to the ground during Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles.
