Getting it there
How we get a container onto your site
The truck is booked by us, from operators we know, and it's priced into your container quote. What we need from you is a clear picture of the site — this page explains why.
The three trucks, and when each one gets the job
Tilt-tray
Most 10ft and 20ft drops. The tray tips and the container slides off behind the truck, so it needs about 3.5 metres of clear width and roughly 15 metres of straight run-in for a 20ft.
Sidelifter
Usually the pick for 40ft units. Two cranes on the trailer set the container down beside the truck, which means a long, open working area — allow around 30 metres.
Crane truck (HIAB)
For the awkward ones: over a fence, between buildings, into a courtyard. It costs more than a tilt-tray, but it reaches spots nothing else will.
What we'll ask about your site
- The narrowest point between the street and the spot — usually a gate, a carport post or a pair of trees.
- The run-in — how far the truck can reverse in a straight line before it has to turn.
- Anything above — power lines, branches, gutters or an awning the container could catch as it tips.
- The ground — firm and close to level. Sleepers or pads under the four corners is the ideal set-down.
Photos of the gate, the approach and the spot itself save a lot of back-and-forth. Email them or attach a note to your enquiry.
