Multiple Delivery Options to Choose From
Choosing the right delivery method ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience. Regardless of your delivery method, a firm, dry ground, gravel or concrete pad is encouraged. There are three primary delivery methods: **Tilt-Bed Delivery**, **Flatbed Delivery,** and **Pick-Up Delivery**.
## Tilt-Bed Delivery

- Height requirements are at least 14ft clearance for trees & bridges

This will help you plan where to put the container at your location before it arrives. Ensure that you have enough space to fully open the container doors when placed. Take into account the width and height of the doors. It is recommended to walk the area and understand the footprint of a 20-40ft container on your property.
