Introduction
Delivering a container may seem complex, but with proper preparation, it can go smoothly. In this video, Julien from Conteneur Expert shares 6 key steps to ensure a successful container delivery. Here’s a summary of the essential points.
1. Container Delivery Method
- Flatbed truck transport: The container is gently slid off the truck’s inclined platform without requiring any expensive additional equipment.
- This method ensures an efficient and cost-effective delivery process.
2. Container Orientation: A Critical Detail
- Provide the delivery team with your preferred door orientation:
- Toward the truck’s cabin.
- Toward the back of the truck.
- Sharing this detail ensures the container is positioned exactly as needed.
3. Preparing the Delivery Site
- Required clearance:
- 20-foot container: 65 feet.
- 40-foot container: 110 feet.
- Ensure the area is clear to allow for smooth unloading.
4. Quality of the Delivery Surface
- The surface must be:
- Flat and stable.
- Free of debris.
- Cleared of snow during winter.
- Use blocks or wedges to elevate the container. This helps to:
- Promote proper airflow underneath.
- Protect the surface (e.g., asphalt) from damage.
5. Leveling the Container
- A properly leveled container ensures:
- Smooth opening and closing of doors.
- Increased durability over time.
