When Alex and Jane decided to renovate their recently purchased property in Colac, they quickly realised they needed a reliable storage solution. The couple planned to move in once the renovations were complete, but their furniture, equipment, and supplies needed a secure place on-site in the meantime. After researching their options, they decided on a Full Container Load (FCL) delivered to their property to store their belongings safely.
However, there was one significant challenge: Colac’s terrain. Known for its rural landscape and often muddy conditions, especially after a spell of rain, the couple’s property was far from an easy location to access. The winding, unsealed road leading to their home turned into a muddy track whenever the weather turned, making it seemingly impossible for standard delivery trucks to navigate.
The Challenge: Delivering a Container in Tough Conditions
Alex and Jane’s property presented a common issue for many rural homeowners. While the idea of using a shipping container for storage was perfect for their needs, the logistics of delivering a 40ft FCL container to their muddy and remote site were daunting. Many transport companies were unwilling to risk their trucks getting stuck or were not equipped to handle such conditions.
The SuperTilt Solution: Navigating the Mud with Ease
Enter the SuperTilt. Unlike traditional delivery trucks, the SuperTilt is designed to handle rough terrains and less-than-ideal road conditions. Our team at Container Solutions assessed the couple’s property and quickly determined that the SuperTilt would be the best option for this delivery.
On the day of delivery, the weather wasn’t in our favour—recent rains had turned the road to Alex and Jane’s property into a muddy quagmire. However, our expert team was well-prepared for this challenge. With the SuperTilt’s unique tilting capabilities and high-ground clearance, we were able to navigate the muddy track without difficulty. The truck approached the property slowly and carefully, ensuring that it didn’t disturb the surrounding landscape or get stuck in the soft ground.
Placement Precision: Positioning the Container Perfectly
Once on-site, the next step was to position the container exactly where Alex and Jane wanted it. They had designated a spot near the back of the property that would be convenient for easy access during the renovation. Despite the terrain, our operator skilfully tilted the bed of the truck, gently lowering the 40ft container into place with precision. This placement process took just a few minutes, and the container was set securely, ready for the couple to start filling it with their belongings.
Results: A Secure Storage Solution for Renovation Success
With the container safely delivered and placed, Alex and Jane could now focus on their renovation project without the stress of finding extra storage space. The container became their go-to storage unit for furniture, tools, and building supplies, keeping everything secure and protected from the elements. The SuperTilt’s successful navigation of the muddy terrain proved that even challenging delivery conditions could be managed effectively with the right equipment and expertise.
