Ensuring a Level Delivery for Your Container

At Big Box Mobile, we go the extra mile to ensure that your storage container arrives perfectly level protecting your items from shifting, breakage, or damage. We understand how important level container delivery is for all container storage.

Why Level Delivery Matters

  • Many providers tilt the container during loading or unloading, which can cause contents to slide, overturn, or break.
  • A non-level drop can undo your careful packing, especially for fragile or stacked items.
  • We guarantee level delivery so that your items remain stable from arrival to placement.

How We Keep the Container Level

We choose from several techniques and delivery vehicles.  We are ensuring you the method best suited for your location and driveway and configuration. Our licensed operators and heavy-lifting equipment ensure balance and precision. Key tools and methods include:

Cranes/crane trucks

  • Capable of lowering containers straight down to the ground on site, without tilt.
  • Ideal when driveway space is limited or when surface ground is uneven.

 

Trailer delivery with ramp

  • The container stays attached to a trailer that has a built-out ramp for loading/unloading.
  • Once in place, the unit is gently released onto the ground at a level position.
  • Delivery requires a sufficient driveway length (e.g. ~40 ft) to avoid obstructing streets or footpaths

 

Tilt-and-load for empty containers

  • Reserved for 40′ containers being moved empty.
  • The trailer tilts the container for easy sliding off, but this method is not used for loaded containers to avoid shifting.

Your Protection from Damage

Integrating Level Delivery with Smarter Storage Solutions

Level delivery does more than protect your belongings during placement. It sets the foundation for an efficient, long-lasting storage setup. When your container sits perfectly level, shelving systems stay balanced, doors open and close smoothly, and stored items remain secure over time.

Having a stable base allows you to customize your space with modular racks, bins, and interior shelving.  What you are doing is creating a clutter-free and organized layout. Our precision delivery methods ensure every container starts level.  This means you can confidently build a functional, reliable storage solution that meets your business or personal needs from day one.

Why Level Delivery Matters

When your storage container arrives, keeping it level is essential for protecting what’s inside. We use specialized trucks and crane systems to ensuring your container is set down gently and  never tilted or dropped.

Our Promise:

  • Your belongings stay secure and undisturbed.
  • Containers are placed precisely where you need them.
  • No shifting, sliding, or stress on your items.

 

Big Box Mobile makes sure your delivery is smooth, safe, and perfectly level  every time.
