At Carolina Mobile Storage, we offer prompt and affordable delivery for all purchased or rented storage containers. Local container deliveries are available either the day of purchase or the following business day. For out-of-state deliveries, we ask for two to three business days depending on the distance of your delivery from our facility. Our experienced delivery staff is prepared to assist in all parts of your storage delivery.
Transportation Checklist
Refer to this checklist prior to the delivery of your mobile storage unit.
Do you have two 6'' x 6'' x 8' treated timbers or railroad ties on hand to place under the ends of the container?
These will support the container off the ground and facilitate air flow under the unit, which will reduce moisture and condensation.
Is there sufficient access to your job site from the road to deliver your unit?
It's important to anticipate the room that the over-the-road tractor/trailer will need in order to turn onto your property. Keep in mind that obstructions like fences, ditches, and the angle of approach that the truck makes will affect how we deliver your container.
Will the ground conditions be solid enough to support the truck, trailer and container?
No soft areas, such as septic tanks or wells can be in the path that the truck will need to deliver and pull away from the dropped container. Wet conditions can also delay the delivery of your container.
Is the ground level or nearly level, from the site entrance to the delivery route and drop area?
Is there a 13.5' clearance over the delivery route on the job site, free of tree limbs and power lines, including temporary power lines?
Is there a sufficient perimeter around the location where the unit will be placed?
For a 20' container, you must clear an opening 10' wide by 55' long. For a 40' container, you'll need a 10' wide by 105' long opening.
Have you planned and communicated with Carolina Mobile Storage about the optimal location for your container doors based on the final destination of your container?
For example, if you requested a container to be placed against a fence, you would request that the doors be loaded to the cab so that when the truck pulls away, the doors will be facing out for accessibility.
