How Mule Shipping Container Delivery Compares
Mule vs. Flatbed Delivery
Mule-Assisted Delivery
- Works in tight/narrow spaces
- Precise, inch-level placement
- Sharper 90° turns, lower clearance
- Gentler on lawns/driveways
Traditional Flatbed/Roll-off Delivery
- Needs long, straight access (≈75′ for 20′, ≈120′ for 40′)
- Firm, truck-rated surface only
- Wider turns; height/overhead limits
- Container tilts & slides off
Our mule forklift decouples during your container delivery and unloads your container from the truck, keeping it mostly leveled. After, we easily move the container on specialized dollies and steer it around your property, through tight gates, alleys, trees, and parked vehicles. We can angle the container exactly where you want it, often inches from a wall or inside a fenced area. Your shipping container will be placed and leveled exactly where you want it, without you having to move everything out of our way. Our mule container delivery service is perfect for precise deliveries in tight places.
Delivery & Clearance requirements
Our mule shipping container delivery requires far less straight-line space than traditional flatbed or roll-off methods. Using compact mule forklifts and dollies, we navigate various driveways and properties, making tight turns and avoiding most overhead obstacles. Steep slopes can make deliveries go slightly slower, but we’re still able to easily maneuver on unleveled land. Seasonal conditions matter too: if the ground is too soft from rain, snow, or ice, we’ll coordinate a convenient reschedule. To speed things up, you can always contact us to confirm if your ideal placement is feasible. However, we’ll more than likely be able to deliver and place your container wherever you want it.
Precise Placement
Our mule delivery excels in tight spaces. We can guide your container through side yards, alleys, or behind buildings, steering around trees, fences, AC units, and other obstacles with inch-level precision. For container delivery, that means your container can be placed right next to your equipment or building, where you can easily access your storage or container office daily. And we’ll set the door orientation for smooth loading from day one.
Shipping Container Leveling
After placement, we level your container so your doors can open and latch smoothly, and water sheds properly. You can supply your own blocks, or add our pro leveling blocks to the order for a clean, long-lasting setup. Leveling adjustments and a quick final check are included with the delivery of your shipping container to ensure it’s ready to use.
FAQ On Shipping Container Delivery
How to prepare for shipping container delivery?
- Pick the spot: Choose a firm, fairly level area (gravel, asphalt, or concrete preferred).
- Measure access: Standard gates/driveways usually work. Clear a path and check for low branches or power lines.
- Mark the placement: Put cones/flags/paint where you want the corners and note door orientation (see below).
- Share photos: Text or upload pictures of the driveway, gate, and drop spot so we can pre-check.
Our mule device lets us handle tight turns and narrow access others can’t, but safe overhead clearance and a stable surface are still important.
