Photograph street to spot
Take photos from the street through the gate and along the driveway to the intended position. Include bends, slopes, overhead branches and services. Tell us if the route crosses soft ground or changes after rain.
Leave the truck room to work
The container footprint is only part of the picture. The truck needs a suitable approach, room to turn and room to unload. Send photos of the road, gate, driveway and placement area. Flag slopes, soft ground, branches and overhead services so the transport team can assess the job.
Different vehicles need different working space. Ask the transport team to assess the actual plan instead of relying on a universal gate width or unloading-distance rule.
Get the spot ready
Think about drainage, door direction and access once the container is down. Seek appropriate advice about ground preparation, supports and anchoring. Do not improvise a support arrangement from a generic diagram.
Agree the plan, then book
Check any council, property-owner or site requirements for the address and intended use. Storage and a converted building can be treated differently. Ground preparation, supports and anchoring depend on the site and need appropriately qualified advice.
Agree the delivery method, access assumptions and charges before booking. If conditions change, contact the team. Read the delivery checklist and add your notes to an enquiry.
