Delivery procedure: how to properly receive your container
You are buying or renting a container from National Conteneur. You now need to prepare for its delivery to your site. This logistics step requires careful planning. We explain how to organize everything simply and without surprises.
-
Prepare access and the ground
The delivery truck needs room to maneuver. You must measure the dimensions of your access points. The passage must be wide and free of obstacles. Remember to check for power lines and tree branches.
The destination ground must be flat and, above all, very stable. Loose soil risks sinking under the weight of the steel. Prepare a concrete slab or lay suitable support blocks. This ensures the stability and longevity of your container.
-
Choose your delivery method
We offer several solutions for delivering your container: delivery with unloading by crane truck, delivery on a flatbed truck (you handle unloading with your own equipment), or direct pickup from one of our depots. You choose the one that matches your equipment.
-
Understand the cost of transport
Several factors affect the price of your delivery. The size of the container plays a direct role. A 20 ft model costs less to transport than a 40 ft model.
The distance between our depot and your address also affects the rate. The longer the journey, the higher the cost. The unloading equipment also impacts the final invoice. A crane truck costs more to mobilize than a standard flatbed truck. Difficult access increases the driver's maneuvering time. At National Conteneur, we calculate each quote precisely and with no hidden fees.
-
Manage the day of receipt
We schedule a precise date with you. On the day, you must be present on site to welcome the carrier. You guide the driver to the exact placement location. You confirm with them the correct positioning of the container on your foundations.
You then check the condition of the container after it is set down. We check together that the doors open and close correctly. This check validates the completion of our service. You can immediately start using your space.
