Acorn Containers understands that efficient and reliable delivery is as crucial as the quality of the container itself. We manage the logistics of transporting your 20ft container directly to your specified location in Surrey or anywhere else in the UK. Our delivery methods are tailored to site access and requirements.
Standard delivery typically involves a Hiab crane vehicle. This specialist vehicle carries the container and uses an onboard crane to lift and position it precisely where you need it on your site. This method is highly effective for most locations, provided there is sufficient clear access for the vehicle and the crane to operate safely. We will discuss site access with you during the order process to ensure a smooth delivery.
For sites with restricted access or specific placement needs, alternative delivery options can be explored. Our logistics team works closely with you to identify the most suitable and safest delivery method for your particular circumstances. We have experience delivering to challenging locations and can advise on necessary site preparations.
We also offer the option of collection from one of our depots, should this be preferable for your logistics. However, for most businesses, our delivered service using Hiab vehicles provides the most convenient and efficient solution for getting your 20ft container exactly where it is needed.
Our commitment to service extends through the entire process, from your initial enquiry to the final placement of your container on site. We aim to make acquiring your 20ft container a seamless and stress-free experience, ensuring you can quickly begin utilising your new storage or transport asset.
