How is the container delivered and how much space is required? Containers are delivered on a "tilt-bed" truck for 20' containers while the 40' containers are delivered on a tilt-bed trailer. Once the container is backed into position and tilted down, the truck or trailers drives out from under the container. For a 20' storage container, about 75 feet of straight clearance is needed.See 20' Video For a 40' storage container, the truck and trailer will need about 150 feet.See 40' Video top
