Space it needs
Allow a firm, level spot about 42 ft × 10 ft, plus room for the doors. On tight sites a crane truck can set it in place without the long straight run a tilt-deck needs.
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
What's the difference between a 40ft and a high cube?
Same length and width; the high cube is a foot taller (9′6″ vs 8′6″ outside). Choose it for tall items, shelving or anything people will work inside.
Will a 40ft fit on my property?
It needs a firm, level spot a little over 40 ft long plus room to open the doors. Send photos and the address and we'll confirm how to get it in.
Exact dimensions?
Figures shown are typical for standard ISO containers; inside measurements vary slightly by manufacturer. Ask and we'll give you the actual unit's measurements.
