Container Delivery

Delivery Options Explained
HIAB Crane Delivery (Most Popular)
We deliver and offload using rigid or articulated HIAB lorries — no lifting equipment required on your end.
Our haulier’s use trusted crane brands such as Fassi, Cormach and Palfinger.
Two HIAB Types:
Rigid HIAB – Shorter lorry, perfect for small 6ft, 8ft or 10ft unit’s, but can hold 20ft maximum, ideal for residential and tight-access sites. Approx. 37ft Long
Articulated HIAB – Longer vehicle, perfect for 20ft+ deliveries or long-distance jobs. Approx. 67ft Long
Best for:
Residential properties
Construction sites
Commercial yards with restricted access
Container conversions or relocations
Flatbed / Skeletal Trailer Delivery (Customer Offload)
If you have the right offloading equipment (forklift, telehandler, or crane), you can save on delivery costs by choosing a flatbed.
Best for:
Businesses with storage yards and handling gear
Repeat buyers moving containers between sites
Customers aiming to reduce total delivery costs
Important: Containers must have forklift pockets, and not all container sizes are suitable — we’ll confirm at the point of sale.
Access, Drop Direction & Site Setup
Before delivery, we’ll confirm:
– Access width, length & turning space
– Drop direction (doors facing in/out)
– Ground type (hardstanding, gravel, grass)
– Any restrictions (wires, trees, walls, gates)
Important:
While we’ll help assess and advise, it is ultimately the customer’s responsibility to ensure the delivery site is suitable, safe, and accessible for the chosen vehicle and offloading method. Any delays or failed deliveries caused by unsuitable site conditions will result in additional charges.
