 ## Delivery Logistics and Site Requirements

We arrange transport using specialized vehicles to ensure safe placement. A HIAB is a truck equipped with a hydraulic crane to lift and position the container on the ground. Successful delivery to Aberdeen requires careful site planning and adherence to specific constraints.

### Siting and Compliance

The delivery area must be level and composed of hard-standing material such as concrete, tarmac, or compacted gravel. This prevents the unit from sinking and ensures the doors operate correctly. The vehicle requires clear access without overhead obstructions like power cables or low branches. Buyers should consult the [Aberdeen City Council Planning Department](https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services/planning-and-building) regarding regulations for permanent container installations. Lead times for delivery in Aberdeenshire typically range from five to ten working days from the point of order.
