Before your container is delivered, there are a few important factors to consider and prepare. During delivery, the trucker will back the truck into position, tilt the platform, and slowly slide the container into place. It’s essential to ensure the correct door loading direction on the truck, as this will determine the container’s final positioning. The standard shipping container has cargo doors at one end, so proper alignment is key for smooth placement upon delivery.
20-Foot Container Delivery Space Requirement: The truck requires a clear, straight line of at least 65 feet to account for the length of the container, the truck deck, and the truck itself.
40-Foot Container Delivery Space Requirement: The truck requires at least 150 feet of clear, straight-line space to accommodate the length of the container, the truck deck, and the truck itself.
Option 1 : If the container is loaded with the doors facing the driver’s cabin, the doors will be the last to touch the ground.
