At Container Solutions, we’re no strangers to the challenges of regional container deliveries. Our recent job in Winchelsea perfectly illustrates how we can adapt to even the most unconventional requests. When the task requires leaving established roads and navigating a paddock, our experienced team steps up to deliver, even when the terrain is less than ideal.
Off-Road Container Delivery – What Makes It Unique
Off-road container delivery comes with its own set of hurdles, especially when dealing with surfaces that are far from smooth and compact. In Winchelsea, our team had to navigate right into the middle of a paddock. It’s important to note that our SideLoaders and semi-trailers are not four-wheel-drive vehicles. This makes careful planning and surface inspection essential for a successful off-road operation.
Property Owner Responsibilities
When we deliver onto private property, it’s crucial to have clear communication and understanding. Any off-road delivery requires the property owner’s explicit permission. Additionally, if our trucks get bogged on unsuitable surfaces, it becomes the responsibility of the property owner or purchaser to cover the cost and time of recovery. This could include hiring a Tow Truck and using a winch to get the vehicle back onto a sealed road.
Our team ensures you’re fully aware of this before we proceed. We believe transparency is key to making these challenging deliveries successful and stress-free for both parties.
Our Safety Measures – Trained and Experienced Drivers
Our drivers are highly trained to handle even the most challenging delivery situations. They meticulously inspect the surface conditions before proceeding and will only attempt off-road deliveries when it’s safe—usually in dry conditions. Safety is our top priority, and we take every precaution to ensure the delivery goes smoothly.
Despite the challenges, we’re proud to say that our drivers achieve off-road container placements with a high success rate. In fact, 99% of the time, we can accommodate requests to place containers as close as possible to the desired location.
Regional Deliveries to Private Properties
All our regional deliveries to private properties come with delivery to your gate as standard. Going beyond that, to place a container further onto your property, is a favour we’re happy to offer when conditions allow. Our drivers will always consult with the receiver on-site, assessing the safest and most practical way to meet your needs.
