Requirements
Horizontal Clearance = 120ft
Height Clearance = 16ft

The Truck
40ft containers are delivered using a pickup truck and 40ft tilt bed trailer. This delivery method requires 120 feet of horizontal clearance for a successful delivery.
Door Location
When placing your order, know the direction you want the container doors and personnel man door to face at your location. This determines whether we load the container 'doors to the cab’ or 'doors to the rear' of the truck. On delivery day, our driver will back up to the location you’ve chosen and slide the container onto the ground.
Prepare the ground
Tilt bed trucks and trailers are heavy! In order for them not to get stuck, the ground needs to be compact and dry leading up to the drop location. Muddy roads are not suitable for a tilt bed truck, or pickup truck with tilt bed trailer to drive on. The driver will also need 30ft of width for any turns they may need to make. If your location is already dry, compact, and level then you’re ready to go. If not, a common solution is laying down gravel, cement or pavement. To ensure the container is level, support all four corners with wood blocks.
Remove any obstructions
In addition to the container drop location, make sure to prepare the entire delivery site for the driver. Remove any obstacles in the way that would prevent the truck from reaching the delivery location. This includes low hanging tree branches, low power lines, overhangs etc. If there are any obstacles or issues you would like to bring to our attention please don’t hesitate to reach out to CONTAINER SOLUTIONS.
