Tilt-Bed Delivery

Tilt-bed trucks provide a hassle-free, ground-level delivery for 20-foot and 40-foot containers, including Standard Height and High Cube options. This method is ideal for convenient, direct placement on your site.

Flat-Bed Delivery

Flat-bed trucks are used for 8'6" high-standard steel shipping containers and are cost-effective for medium—to long-distance hauls. Note that off-loading requires suitable lifting equipment such as a crane or forklift, especially for High-Cube containers (9'6" high), which must be delivered by tilt-bed or step-deck trucks due to Federal Highway Height Restrictions.
