Before the delivery, take time to decide where you would like the container to be located. When making this decision there are a few things to consider even which way you’d like the doors. Remember: The ground needs to be solid and dry, as soft ground will cause trucks to become stuck, trucks and containers are heavy.
Level ground, clean of debris
Overhead clearance on route, at least 14-ft high
Overhead clearance at offload point, 20-ft high
Here’s what size container will fit your location and needs:
Containers need to be off the ground due to the wood floors, unless they are being placed on a concrete slab or asphalt. (4) 6”X6” pressure treated wood block work the best. This can be purchased at Home Depot, Lowes, or a lumber yard. We recommend purchasing one 6 or 8 foot, 6”X6” post and having it cut into 4 sections. Concrete blocks Do Not Work (rental customers do not need to worry about blocks, A American will provide them at the time of delivery)
This is key for successful delivery!
