§ 03 Decision: Delivery Logistics Standards
Will it even
Get there?
Narrow lanes, soft ground, low branches — we plan for it. Most rural properties can receive a container, but you need to know the clearance requirements before you buy.
How Containers Are Delivered
The delivery method depends on your property access. A 65-foot truck combination needs room to maneuver.
Tilt-Bed Truck
The Farm Standard
The truck tilts its bed and slides the container off onto the ground. Requires 100+ feet of straight approach.
→ Best for clear driveways
Crane-Set
Tight Access Solution
A separate crane lifts the container into place. Solves sharp turns, fencelines, or soft ground issues.
