Delivery

When ordering your Shipping Container from Contain Yourself make sure to consider a few things for delivery…

Have the right tools and equipment on hand, such as wheelbarrows, shovels, and levelers. This makes the offloading and delivery process as easy as possible.

How do I get my Shipping Container delivered?

Delivery of a shipping container is usually done by truck or tractor-trailer combination. These are specifically designed for hauling shipping containers (HIAB). The container is loaded onto the truck or trailer using a crane or other heavy equipment. It’s then transported to its final destination. Once it reaches the destination, the container is offloaded using the same equipment.

Do we Deliver Nationally?

Do I need Planning Permission for my Shipping Container?

In Ireland, whether or not you need planning permission for a shipping container depends on the specific use and location of the container. If the container is going to be used for storage on your property and is not visible from the public domain, planning permission may not be required. However, if the container will be used for a different purpose, such as a dwelling or office space, planning permission would likely be required. It’s worth noting that if you’re going to place the container on a property that is located in a protected area, such as a conservation area or an area of special scientific interest, you would need to apply for planning permission. It is recommended to check with your local authorities to confirm the specific regulations in your area and to make sure that you have all the required permits before placing a shipping container on your property.

Site setup in preparation for a Shipping Container?

Preparing a site for the delivery of a shipping container involves several steps so the container can be safely and efficiently offloaded. Here are a few key steps to consider:
  • Clear the site of any debris or obstacles that may impede the delivery truck or crane. This includes removing any low hanging branches, power lines, or other hazards.
  • Make sure that the site is level and stable. If the site is uneven or soft, the container may not be able to be placed safely.
  • Check the width and height of any gates, bridges, or other structures that the delivery truck or crane will need to pass through. This ensures that they are tall and wide enough to accommodate the container.
  • Create an area for the container to be placed that is large enough to accommodate the container. This also accommodates any additional equipment that may be used to offload and place the container.
  • For the offloading it’s important to have a flat and stable surface that can sustain the weight of the container.
  • It’s also important to have a clear access for the delivery vehicle, in case there are any tight turns or narrow roads. (Site lorry must be able to extend their 6ft HIAB legs.)
  • Keep in mind the distance from the road to the container location. The crane and delivery truck need enough space to maneuver.
  • If the container is going to be placed on a slope, make sure that the site has been properly graded and that the container can be placed in a stable position.
  • It’s important to have someone on site to communicate with the delivery driver and the crane operator. This ensures that the container is placed in the correct location and at the correct angle.
  • Having appropriate signage directing the delivery truck to the correct location on your property.
  • Having the right tools and equipment on hand, such as wheelbarrows, shovels, and levelers, to make the offloading process as easy as possible
