Tips For a Smooth Container Delivery

• Notify us of desired door placement: facing forward or the rear
• Ground should be solid, smooth, and level – preferably with gravel base
• 40ft containers require about 120ft of straight clearance, 10ft wide, and 16ft high
• 20ft containers require around 60ft of straight clearance, 10ft wide, and 16ft high
• If your delivery site has greater than 4% grade driveway, ‘S’ curve bends, send us photos
• Height clearance from tree limbs and electric lines must be 16ft

Cargo Container Delivery Options

Dry Box provides flexible and efficient cargo container delivery options tailored to suit different project requirements, including tilt bed and sideloader delivery methods.

• The tilt bed delivery is a convenient choice for straightforward drop-off and pickup scenarios, where the container is loaded or unloaded at ground level. This method works best for locations with ample space, allowing the truck to tilt and slide the container off with ease. It’s a simple yet effective approach for customers who need quick, hassle-free access to their containers.
• Dry Box’s sideloader delivery is available or sites where space is limited or access is challenging, The sideloader can lift the container off the truck and set it down precisely where needed, enabling placement alongside buildings, in narrow alleys, or even in spaces with overhead obstructions. This delivery method eliminates the need for additional heavy equipment, reducing costs and streamlining the process. With its ability to handle complex placements effortlessly, the sideloader ensures that even the most restrictive job sites can receive container deliveries.

Additionally, for delivering containers to super tight areas, we have MULE shed movers that allow our drivers to place your container exactly where you need it.
