Space it needs
Allow a firm, level spot about 22 ft × 10 ft, plus room to swing the doors. A tilt-deck truck needs a long, clear straight run to slide it off — a crane truck just needs a firm spot nearby and can lift it over fences or landscaping.
Delivered and placed by crane
In BC our containers arrive on K2 Crane & Cartage's crane trucks and are lifted exactly where you want them — over fences, into backyards and tight lots, set level with the doors facing the way you need.
Questions
Will a 20ft container fit on my driveway?
Most residential driveways fit one. Measure the space and check for overhead wires or branches — send photos and we'll confirm.
Is a 20ft or 40ft better for me?
A 20ft suits homes, renos and small sites. If you're storing a whole house, large inventory or equipment, a 40ft is usually better value per square foot.
Exact dimensions?
Figures shown are typical for a standard 20ft ISO container; inside measurements vary slightly by manufacturer. Ask and we'll give you the actual unit's measurements.
