How is this container delivered?
We aim to make your container delivery on site as smooth as possible. Please notify us when getting a container quote if there are any obstructions like power lines near where you plan to place your container or if access for a truck is likely to be tricky.
Also, please make sure that the area the truck will need to access is clear and that any loved pets and children are somewhere safe.
Delivery on site can be made using the following methods.
Tilt Tray
This is the most common method. We tilt the truck’s tray, then slide the container off while the vehicle slowly moves forward. Just note that the container’s height will increase when it’s tilted – so if your site has overhead obstacles (like power lines) we may need to go with another method.
Side Loader
If your site has limited space around the shipping container’s final position, side loader delivery could be the best option. The container is unloaded between the side loader’s two outrigger feet – about 0.5m from the truck’s side. We use side loaders to transport 20ft and 40ft shipping containers.
Hiab Crane
We use Hiab cranes when there’s not enough space for a side loader or tilt tray – or if your site has other tricky obstacles to manoeuver around (like fences). The crane lifts and then places the shipping container. This method also makes it easy to place containers at an angle, or on raised areas.

There has been an increase in container scams in recent years. You should follow these steps to ensure the seller is real:
- Request an inspection
- Check the price - if it is too good to be true, it probably is fake
- Get a contact number and Google it - many people who have been caught out before share their experience online
- Check the finer detail - ABNs, Google salespeople names, does the email domain match the website (steer clear of @gmail/@hotmail style addresses)
- Ask plenty of questions, and expect honest and clear answers.
