How Shipping Containers are Delivered
Shipping containers are delivered by professional trucking companies using either a tilt-bed or flatbed truck. With a tilt-bed delivery, the truck backs into position, raises the bed, and gently slides the container off so it rests directly on the ground at your site—making it the most common choice for homeowners, farms, and job sites. Flatbed deliveries are typically used when the container will be unloaded by a forklift or crane at a commercial location. Before delivery, it’s important to ensure there is enough space for the truck to maneuver, level ground for the container to sit on, and clear overhead access. This preparation ensures a smooth, safe delivery right where you need it. Here are the steps involved:
1. Choose Delivery or Pickup:
- Select your option during checkout.
2. Truck Type:
- Tilt-bed (most common): slides container off — no equipment needed
- Flatbed: requires forklift or crane on-site
3. Site Prep:
- Level, firm surface (gravel or concrete preferred)
- 12 ft wide access
- 75+ ft clear path for 20ft container; 150+ ft for 40ft
- No low wires, branches, or fencing in drop zone
4. Choose Door Position:
- Your shipping container will slowly slide off the back of the truck, do you want the doors of the container to hit the ground first (facing REAR of TRUCK) or last (facing TRUCKERS CAB)?
5. Delivery Timeline:
- Minneapolis-area deliveries are typically made in 5–7 business days.
