Being prepared to receive your container delivery is important for you, the delivery driver, and the health of your shipping containers. Below is a comprehensive overview of the delivery process and how you can best accommodate a smooth experience.
Average time to receive a shipped container after placing an order with ModuGo? We generally deliver containers 5-10 days after an order is placed. If you need one sooner, just let us know and we will do all we can to get the container delivered when you need it. We will always work with you to find a delivery date and time window that works.
Typically, shipping containers are delivered on trucks with roll-off trailers for convenient and fast drops. However, there are several options on which shipping containers can be delivered to a drop site.
If you order a 20 ft. container or two 10 ft. containers, we can take advantage of tilt-bed trucks. These truck’s beds can conveniently tip down to gently place your container on the ground. As the driver pulls forward, the bed of the truck gently slides out from under the container. The result is a beautifully positioned container right at your site.
These roll-off trailers perform the same action as the tilt-bed truck, but instead of being one single unit, the tilt-bed trailer is separate from the truck pulling it. This type of trailer can be used to support multiple 20 ft. containers or your longer 40 ft. and 45 ft. containers.
Able to pull up to 45 feet of container, flatbed trucks are another delivery option for shipping containers. These trucks require the receiving company or purchaser to have access to a crane or heavy machinery able to unload the storage unit. These trucks are typically only used in the delivery of shipping containers over several hundred miles.
The trucks also need ample space at your delivery site to maneuver. Assume that you will need the following
Selecting a Place For Your Container
The trucks that deliver shipping containers can weigh up to 45,000 pounds! Be sure your site can accommodate the potential weight. Try selecting sites with established and compacted hard surfaces. This can include parking lots, cement and compacted gravel pathways and platforms, hard surface areas.
Areas that hold a lot of water are not ideal for shipping container sites for several reasons. One, they can result in the delivery truck becoming stuck or destroying your property while driving over it. Two, shipping container floors and steel foundations can corrode and fail over time if continuously exposed to these types of wet conditions.
