Delivery Space Requirements

Delivery Space
Requirements

Shipping container delivery requires adequate room for the delivery truck to safely position and unload your container. Use the guide below to help determine whether your site has enough space.

How Much Space Do I Need?

The amount of space needed depends on the size of the container. In addition to the container itself, the delivery truck needs clear space directly in front of the final placement location.
