Select Your Container

Browse the products page and choose by size, condition, and configuration. Enter your ZIP code to see location-based pricing from the nearest depot.

Schedule Your Delivery Window

Choose a standard 5–15 business day delivery window or request rush delivery where available. Confirm site access details and container orientation at this stage.

Placement and Acceptance

The driver positions the container on your prepared surface at the requested orientation. Inspect it before accepting. With Pay-on-Delivery, payment completes after your confirmation.

What to Prepare Before Delivery Day

A smooth delivery starts with site preparation. Addressing these three areas before scheduling avoids the most common causes of delays, rescheduling fees, and placement problems.

Space and Clearance Requirements

The delivery truck needs adequate room to approach, maneuver, and unload. Plan for these minimums before scheduling.

  • 20ft container: ~40–50 ft of straight run clearance
  • 40ft container: ~60–70 ft of straight run clearance
  • Vertical clearance: 15–17 ft minimum along the route
  • Width clearance: 10–13 ft minimum throughout
  • Turning radius: approximately 40–50 ft for the truck

Ground Conditions

The container placement surface must be stable and level. Poor ground conditions are the most common cause of door misalignment and long-term structural issues.

  • Compacted gravel pad — most common and cost-effective
  • Concrete slab — best long-term installation option
  • Railroad ties — support corners above soil level
  • Level side-to-side and front-to-back across all four corners
  • Avoid direct soil contact — traps moisture against base rails

Permits and Local Requirements

Placement rules vary by municipality, HOA, and zoning classification. Confirm local requirements before scheduling delivery to avoid complications after placement.

  • Check city or county zoning for container placement rules
  • Verify HOA regulations if applicable to your property
  • Crane-assisted delivery may require road closure permits
  • Commercial sites may have access and setback requirements
  • Short-term vs. permanent placement rules may differ
