We deliver to Businesses and Job sites in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. The great thing about a Container is that they can be delivered practically anywhere. If we do place your shipping container on a city street or other public place, it is always the customer’s responsibility to obtain proper permits We prefer to place them on private property to avoid any potential issues. We sometimes place shipping containers on city streets in front of your home, but we’ll only recommend this option for a short period of time. Try to plan for delivery on private property. There must be room for the truck to safely pull in off the road, back into place, and then pull forward.Ī 20ft container requires 70ft of space for the truck, and a 40ft container requires 140ft of space for the truck. We require at least 15′ of clearance for our trucks to deliver containers. Make sure that there are no low-hanging wires, branches, or anything that might get in the way of delivery. If your preferred location is on soft ground or is slightly sloped, we recommend bringing in gravel or using lumber blocks to help make the space more container friendly.
