See our rent vs buy guide.

A 40ft needs a longer approach for delivery than a 20ft. For farms, construction sites, and commercial properties with the access to receive it, the 40ft is the most cost-efficient option per cubic foot of storage. Available in used WWT and one-trip.

Delivering 40ft Containers Across South Carolina

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: about 100 feet of clear, firm surface ahead of where the container will sit.
  • Width clearance: At least 12 feet wide throughout the delivery path.
  • Overhead clearance: at least 14 feet minimum for the loaded truck. More is better.
  • 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.

FAQ

40ft Container Questions

A 40ft container needs about 100 feet of straight, level run measured back from where it will sit, plus at least 14 feet of overhead clearance and roughly 10 to 12 feet of width. That straight run is the constraint that stops most 40ft deliveries, not the weight and not the turn into the property. Two 20ft containers often solve a site that will never take a 40ft, and it costs nothing to ask before you order.
Wind and Water Tight units start at $2,401 delivered in Charleston, and delivery is included in that number.
