Site Requirements for 40ft Delivery

A 40ft container needs more room to deliver than a 20ft. The truck with a loaded tilt-bed trailer runs about 80 feet long. Here is what you need:

  • Approach length: 130 feet of clear, firm surface ahead of where the container will sit.
  • Width clearance: At least 10 feet throughout the delivery path.
  • Overhead clearance: At least 15 feet of height for the truck to drive in and 22 feet of height along the entire unloading path.
  • Firm ground: The landing area needs to carry the container's weight, roughly 8,000 lbs empty. Concrete, compacted gravel, and hard-packed dirt all work well.

Delivery Areas in Pennsylvania

FAQ

40ft Container Questions

A 40ft container needs 130 feet of straight, level run measured back from where it will sit, at least 15 feet of height for the truck to drive in and 22 feet of height along the entire unloading path, and at least 10 feet of width. Where a site cannot give a 40ft that run, two 20ft containers, which need 110 feet each, may fit.
