Preparing Your Site for Container Delivery

Choose a placement spot first

Identify where you want the doors to face and how you will reach them after the container is set down. Measure the available area, and note fences, buildings, trees, slopes and anything else close to the intended position. If you are still choosing a unit, compare the listed lengths in our container size guide. Ask Mobile-Stor to confirm the space and orientation needed for the actual unit and delivery method.

Walk the route from the road to the spot

Check entrances, gates, turns and the path the delivery vehicle would take. Look up for branches or wires and down for ditches, soft shoulders or uneven ground. Clear loose items and parked vehicles from the route and placement area. Do not move or work near utility lines yourself; flag them to the delivery team. Send photos or a site sketch to Mobile-Stor when access is not straightforward. Vehicle clearance and turning needs depend on the unit and truck, so get the team's assessment rather than relying on a general measurement from a guide.

Discuss ground conditions and leveling

Tell the team if the ground is soft, sloped, recently disturbed or prone to standing water. The shipping container page says Mobile-Stor delivers, positions and levels containers; it does not establish that every surface is suitable as-is. Ask whether your spot needs preparation before delivery, especially if weather could change access conditions.

Confirm the details before delivery day

• Share the site address, a contact person and the exact spot and door orientation you prefer.
• Tell Mobile-Stor about gates, slopes, overhead obstacles or difficult access, and ask what clearance the truck needs for your unit.
• Check local rules with the relevant city, county or property authority if approval may be needed. Requirements vary by location.
• Confirm the unit, delivery plan and any site work with the team before making changes to your property.
