Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move fully loaded 20ft containers?
Yes, we can move loaded 20ft containers, provided the weight is within legal transport limits. Before we take on the job, we’ll ask for an estimate of the total weight to ensure it can be moved safely. Our trucks are equipped for these types of jobs and we take care to secure the container properly. If you're unsure about load restrictions, just give us a call and we’ll talk you through it.
Do I need to be onsite for the container drop-off?
It’s always best if someone is present to guide placement, especially if there are tight access points or preferred positioning. That said, we can still complete the job if access is straightforward and we’ve confirmed details ahead of time. We'll discuss everything with you before arrival to make sure the delivery goes smoothly. Good communication helps us get the job done right, with no surprises.
What surface do you need to unload the container?
Ideally, we need a level, firm surface such as concrete, compact gravel or hard ground. This helps ensure the container sits evenly and safely after unloading. If the area is soft, sloped or tricky to access, let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly. We’ve delivered containers to a wide range of locations, so we’re happy to talk through your setup and find a practical solution.
