Container Delivery
Free delivery to any street address in South Africa.
How Your Container Gets to You
Delivery to any street address in South Africa is included in the price of every container we sell. The truck we send depends on the container size and how much space you have where the unit will stand. Before dispatch we confirm the delivery date with you by email, and we ask for a few details about the site so that the right vehicle arrives.
Before Your Delivery
- Make sure there is clear, firm ground where the container will be placed
- Check for overhead power lines, trees and narrow gates on the route in
- Allow for roughly 30m of straight access for a 12m container on a tilt tray
- Have someone on site to sign for the container when it arrives
Tilt Tray Delivery
A tilt tray truck slides the container off the back of the deck and lowers it to the ground. Our standard tilt tray carries one 6m container or two 3m containers. A trailer can be added for a second 6m unit. This is the most common method for homes, farms and business premises with straight access.
Side Loader Delivery
Side loaders lift the container off the truck and place it beside the vehicle using two hydraulic arms. They suit 6m and 12m units on sites with limited space in front of or behind the drop zone. The container lands about half a metre from the side of the truck.
Crane Truck Delivery
A truck mounted crane lifts the container and swings it into position. This works well when the container must go over a wall or fence, onto a raised slab or into a tight corner. Crane trucks can handle 3m, 6m and 12m containers. If your site needs a crane, we let you know before dispatch.
Flatbed Delivery
A flatbed or semi trailer is used when you already have a forklift or crane on site to offload the container. This option is common for mines, factories and large construction projects with their own lifting equipment.
