Frequently Asked Questions About Summerhill Containers
How much overhead clearance is needed to deliver my container?
The driver will need at least 14ft of overhead clearance for delivery. Any overhanging power lines, tree limbs, branches or anything below 14ft are in danger of being damaged.
How quickly can I expect my container to be delivered after placing an order?
We are usually able to deliver your container within 3 business days from the time you place your order. In some cases, we are able to deliver your container the next day.
Do you provide locks for the container?
Yes. We offer a pad lock with two keys at an extra cost. We also offer a heavy duty cargo door lock with two keys. The pad locks are available for purchase. The heavy duty cargo door locks are available for rent or purchase.
Do I need to prepare the surface where the container will be placed?
No surface preparation is required. The container can site directly on the ground. The only parts of the container that will come in contact with the ground are the corners. There will be approximately a 5” to 6” gap between the ground and the underside of the container.***We recommend that you select as level a spot as possible for the container. The doors can be difficult to open and close if the container is not level.
Will your driver level the container upon delivery?
Yes. The driver carries small pieces of 1” x 2” pressure treated wood and a jack. He will check the doors before leaving and is able to shim up a corner if necessary.***If the area is extremely unlevel, the driver may not have the ability level the container completely. Additional levelling may be required over time as you load the container with your items.
Can the container be placed on the railroad sleepers/landscape timbers upon delivery?
Yes. Many of our customers choose to elevate the container slightly by placing railroad sleepers/landscape timbers under each corner or on each end. Our drivers are able to assist you in doing so.***We do not provide the railroad sleepers/landscape timbers.
How much room is required on-site for delivery of my container?
Our 20ft containers are delivered on a small roll back truck. Containers over 40ft in length are delivered on our tilt bed trailer. The driver will set one end of the container on the ground and pull out from underneath the container. The container, truck and trailer will be in one long line as he does so. He’ll need approximately 50-60ft of a straight drive to deliver a 20’ container. He’ll need approximately 80-100ft of a straight drive to deliver a 40ft container. He’ll need approximately 100-125ft of a straight drive to deliver a 48ft or 53ft container.
