How to Prepare Your Site for Seacan Delivery
A little planning makes delivery day quick and safe. Here’s what to check before your container arrives.
Seacan delivery
Why site access matters
A truck and trailer carrying a 40 ft container needs room to reach your spot, line up and unload. Soft ground, low wires, tight corners or a narrow gate can stop a delivery, so checking these before we book saves time and money.
Not sure your site works? Send photos of the access route and drop spot with your quote request and we’ll confirm before we book. Need your site prepped to receive it? We can help with that. Check out our gravel conditioning and leveling services.
Before delivery day
Room to manoeuvre
A 40 ft container on a trailer is long. Make sure there’s space to pull in, line up and leave. We confirm the room needed when we quote.
Overhead clearance
Check for power lines, branches and roof overhangs along the route and above the drop spot.
Firm, level ground
Containers should sit on firm, level, well-drained ground. Wet or soft ground may need gravel or a base first.
Gates & narrow points
Measure gate openings and any narrow spots along the route.
Mark the spot
Mark where you want the container and which way the doors should face.

FAQ
Delivery Site Requirements questions
How much space do you need to deliver a seacan?
It depends on the container size and your site layout. Send photos of the access route and drop spot and we’ll confirm before we book.
Can a seacan sit on grass?
It can, but firm, level, well-drained ground works best. On soft ground a container can settle unevenly and the doors may bind. A gravel base or blocks helps.
What if my site isn’t accessible?
We’ll tell you before we book and suggest options, such as a different drop spot or ground preparation.
Should the doors face a certain way?
Decide before delivery day. Tell us which way you want the doors facing so we can plan the delivery.
