Shipping containers are one of the most versatile structures you can put on a site — but getting them there and positioning them accurately is the hard part. Our HIAB container delivery service takes care of the entire process: collection from the depot or supplier, transport to your location, and precision placement using our truck-mounted crane. One vehicle, one visit, and your container is exactly where it needs to be.
We deliver containers for a wide range of uses. On commercial construction sites, containers serve as secure tool stores, drying rooms, and site offices. For residential customers, they are increasingly popular as garden storage, workshop spaces, and the base for container home conversions. We also handle agricultural containers for farms across Kent, positioning them in fields, yards, and on uneven ground where conventional flatbed delivery is not practical.
Our cranes can handle standard shipping containers from 10ft up to 26ft in length. We lift them from the delivery vehicle and place them directly onto your prepared base — whether that is a concrete slab, railway sleepers, or bare ground. If access is restricted by gates, fences, overhead lines, or neighbouring buildings, the crane arm reaches over and positions the container without the truck needing to enter the site.
Before every delivery, we discuss your site layout, ground conditions, and any access restrictions. We confirm the container dimensions and weight, check for overhead hazards, and plan the lift to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day. You get a fixed, all-inclusive price covering transport, crane operation, and placement — no surprises on the invoice.

Container Delivery FAQs
What size containers can you deliver?
We transport and place containers from 10ft to 26ft. This covers the most common sizes used for site storage, garden rooms, and workshop conversions.
Can you place a container in my back garden?
In most cases, yes. Our HIAB crane arm can reach over fences, hedges, and single-storey buildings to position the container without needing direct vehicle access to the garden itself.
Do I need to prepare the ground first?
A level base is recommended — concrete, paving slabs, or railway sleepers are common options. We can place onto bare ground if conditions allow, but a prepared base helps with drainage and long-term stability.
How much does container delivery cost in Kent?
Pricing depends on container size, collection location, delivery distance, and site access. We provide a fixed quote upfront with no hidden charges. Call 07769 299566 for an estimate.
