I’m worried about access to my site – are there any restrictions when delivering shipping containers?

When booking a shipping container delivery, it’s vital to equip our transport and lifting planners – as well as the driver – with as much information about the site as possible. There are a few things that will need to be considered. For example, if the location is on a slope, then we will need to ensure we are equipped with the required equipment needed to level the container. Also, things like both access to the site and onsite conditions need to be considered and communicated, including:

on/off-road location
ground construction
cellars
sewers
power lines, etc…

Access routes, roads and tracks to the site will need to allow for a large lorry, and the delivery zones need to be free from overhead electrical cables.

To help with these considerations, we’ve created a great lifting and delivery guide, which aims to ensure you know all you need to know. Plus we’ve got a suite of youtube videos on our channel explaining a lot more about the containers and vehicles that position them – check it our here.

If in doubt, contact our team to discuss any concerns or queries.

I want to store heavy items in the shipping container, but will I be able to get them in physically?

If you are worried about getting large, heavy items like motorbikes or mowers into your container, ask about our container loading ramps for self-storage and light commercial use. Our ramps are easy to position and store and allow you to load and unload easily. Robust, quality steel, easy to handle and the simplest solution to the problem. We offer two styles and sizes of ramp, with the larger version having the following specification.
