Container Transport
Containerized freight hauling consists of using containers to ship goods or vehicles from one place to another via semi-trailer trucks, container ships, or rail transport flat cars. It is an excellent choice when you have to move multiple cars and want them secure.
Container Ground Level Delivery
Delivered on Roll-Off Trailers by Professional Local Haulers
Intermodal containers are used in freight hauling and they are made in lengths of 20 or 40 feet. Height and width are set at eight feet six inches or nine feet six inches in the case of High or Hi-Cube containers. The container handling system is mechanized. Containers are recorded and tracked via computers and all containers are moved with a crane.
Tilt-bed truck and trailer
The tilt-bed truck and trailer combo can deliver containers up to 45’ in length or a combination thereof (i.e: 2 x 20’ containers, 4 x 10’ containers). This truck requires 100-feet of straight line clearance to complete the delivery. First, the truck is backed up to where you want the container placed. Next, the trailer is titled and then, the container is rolled off the back of the trailer. When booking your order delivery, we’ll ask whether the container is to be loaded with the doors facing the cab or the rear of the truck. This positioning determines the final door placement at the delivery site.
Please let us know if there are any clearance concerns at the site or en route to the site. We will be happy to preview the route before delivery to confirm the delivery can be completed. Our 40’ standard, 40’ high cube, 45’ high cube, or 2 x 20’ rental storage containers are delivered and picked-up on these trucks.
The Trucks are Heavy…
The combined weight of the truck, trailer and container can combine to be over 45,000-pounds. It’s important that your delivery surface be firm. If there is a risk of sinking into ground not firm enough to support the truck, the driver has the right to make the decision not to deliver. If your site is questionable, make sure you talk to us before ordering… or have a back-up spot in mind where there won’t be any issues.
PLEASE NOTE: Be Ready for Delivery When the Driver Arrives
Delivery should only take about 15 minutes once the driver arrives (as long as your site is ready). If the driver is required to wait more than 30 minutes after arriving on site to start delivery, the customer may be charged for wait time. If the driver is unable to safely deliver, the customer may still be charged a dry run fee. We outsource all deliveries to professional local haulers. The customer and driver on site are responsible for all safety decisions (more info in our terms and conditions). Please contact us if you’re not sure about your site.
Flat-bed truck
The flat-bed truck can deliver containers up to 45’ in length. Unlike the tilt-bed truck option, we are not able to place containers on the ground. A forklift, crane, or other offloading equipment is required at the site to complete delivery. Generally, this delivery truck option is selected if your delivery location is more than 200 miles from the location of one of our yards.

Please let us know if there are any clearance concerns at the site or en route to the site. We will be happy to preview the route before delivery to confirm the delivery can be completed.
Side-lifter truck
The side-lifter truck uses 2 sliding cranes mounted towards the front and the rear of the trailer to place the container on the ground or lift the container onto the trailer. This truck delivers containers from 20’ – 45’ in length or two 20 ft containers, provided that all containers have 4 bottom ISO corner castings. The side-lifter truck is the largest truck in our delivery fleet.
The main advantage of the side-lifter truck is its load capacity of 42,000 lbs. This truck easily transfers containers from other trailers or chassis at your site, managing a load capacity of up to 72,000 lbs. Provided a solid level surface is available on-site, The side-lifter truck can stack containers up to 2 levels high. To achieve this, the driver positions the truck adjacent to where the container is to be placed. Next, the outriggers are set, and then the container is offloaded or loaded from the driver’s side only.
When booking your order delivery, we’ll ask whether the container is to be loaded with the doors facing the cab or the rear of the truck. This positioning determines the final door placement at the delivery site.
The side-lifter truck is more expensive than the tilt-bed truck delivery option because it does not require a 100-feet straight line clearance to complete the delivery. Further, a side-lifter truck is used if the container needs to be set on an elevated platform or stacked on top of another container.
Please let us know if there are any clearance concerns at the site or en route to the site. We will be happy to preview the route before delivery to confirm the delivery can be completed.
Crane truck
The crane truck can deliver containers up to 24’ in length or a combination thereof. This truck can also pull a trailer if multiple 20’ (or smaller) containers are to be delivered to the same location. A crane is mounted between the cab and the deck to load and offload containers. Under standard circumstances, the crane can place a 20’ container about 25’ away from the truck. This truck is operated by a certified crane operator.
The crane truck is a great delivery option if the container needs to be placed over a fence, on an elevated platform, stacked on top of another container, or if precision placement is of utmost importance. Please note, the feasibility of every delivery placement is assessed on a case by case basis.
To prepare your site for delivery, your shipping container should be placed on firm, dry, level ground, i.e. pavement, gravel, or hard dirt.
The tilt-bed and flat-bed truck deliveries are quoted a flat rate that includes 30 minutes of offloading time. If the site is not ready to receive delivery, equipment is not prepared, or etc., and additional time is required, an hourly rate per our terms & conditions will be charged in 15 minute increments.
The side-lifter and crane truck deliveries are generally billed at an hourly rate, beginning when the driver leaves our yard and concluding when the driver returns to our yard.
For all deliveries, our dispatcher will call the site contact 24 hours in advance to confirm the 2-hour delivery window. The day of delivery, the truck driver will be call the site contact with a 30-minute delivery window.
Make Sure Your Site is Prepared for Delivery:
SPACE TO MANEUVER
Please make sure there is enough space for the truck to make wide turns, get between gates or other obstructions, and safely set up for delivery. Remember, trucks make wide turns.
SPACE TO DELIVER
The truck will be almost 10′ wide, and will need at least 12″ on each side (12′ total width), as well as space to maneuver after the box is dropped (60′ for 20′ containers and 120′ for 40’s + space to turn and drive away).
HARD SURFACE
The delivery truck can weigh as much as 45,000-lbs., so soft surfaces such as mud or wet grass can cause the truck to sink and get stuck… If there is a risk of sinking in, the driver may refuse delivery at the site.
FREE FROM OBSTRUCTIONS
The truck is 13’6″ before it tilts, and can be up to 16′ tall at it’s peak during delivery, make sure there are no power lines, tree branches, or other obstructions.

The Delivery Truck Needs Some Space
In order to ensure everyone’s safety, please ensure there is adequate space for delivery and you have a safe environment for the driver. All of our haulers put safety first, and if we can’t safely deliver at your site we won’t, but you’ll still be on the hook for trucking charges. Nobody wants that, so please make safety a priority and ensure you have adequate space for delivery. The Tilt-Bed will need 55′ of additional space to deliver (75′ total for 20′ containers) and the Roll-Off truck will need 80′ of additional space (120′ total for 40′ containers).
Keep Your Container Out of Standing Water
In order to support heavy loads while in transit, intermodal shipping containers have steel cross-members underneath the wood floors. The cross-members are strong enough to withstand some rust, but if you set your container directly on top of an area where water will pool after a storm that steel underneath the floor with eventually fail. Leaving you with a softening floor after only a few years on the ground. Please make sure to keep your cross-members out of water by having wood blocks, railroad ties, etc. ready for the driver at delivery.
Make Sure the Truck Can Access Your Delivery Site
In addition to straight away backing space, the truck also needs to be able to maneuver into position at your delivery site. Because 40ft shipping containers are delivered on a tractor-trailer combination, we’ll need extra space to make the turn off the road into your delivery site.
Unfortunately, in many cases this means we cannot deliver 40ft containers to residential locations. However, because 20ft containers are delivered on a shorter roll-back style straight truck, we have a lot more flexibility with delivery options for that size.
Please note, if we cannot safely deliver, you will still be charged for trucking (you’re always welcome to contact us if you’re unsure about your delivery site).
