How will my container be delivered?

There are a few options for this - when your hire or purchase is finalised you can either arrange delivery with a transport company your self or we can arrange it for you. Containers are delivered either by Hiab Truck or by Swing Lift. Hiabs can reach further and allow for more maneuverability and control for the placement of your container. Swing Lifts will lift the container off and place next to their trailer.

Do I need to prepare the area where my container will be delivered?

Before delivery we recommend you ensure the site you have selected is level and clear of any debris. Paving slabs are an effective tool to place under the four corner casts to ensure a level base for your container. It's also important to clear that path that the delivery truck will take to drop your container to you.

When do I pay for my container?

For purchases, payment is required prior to the delivery of your container. For a hires, we require transport and 1 months hire in advance to be paid prior to delivery. If you are a business, we can set up an account for ongoing hire/sales which will allow different payment terms.
