These trucks are equipped with an onboard crane to lift the container from the chassis and place it on the ground. ### Site Access Requirements Delivery requires preparation. A standard delivery truck is large (approx. 10m long) and heavy. For a 20ft container, the vehicle needs roughly 60ft of straight-line space to park and extend its stabilising legs. You must ensure the route to your site is free of overhead obstructions, such as power cables and low bridges. We recommend placing the container on a hard, level surface such as concrete or paving slabs to ensure the doors operate correctly. ## Container Specifications Review the technical details below to ensure the container fits your available space. --- ### 20ft Shipping Container (New) | **SKU:** 20GPNEW **MPN:** 22G1 **Internal Length:** 5.896m **Internal Width:** 2.350m **Internal Height:** 2.393m **Payload:** 28,000 Kgs **Security:** Factory Fitted Lockbox New [20ft shipping containers](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/20ft-shipping-container) provide the highest security standard.

Container prices fluctuate due to global steel costs and supply chain variables. New "one-trip" units cost more than used containers due to their pristine condition. Delivery costs to Perth postcodes also impact the final price. To get an accurate, up-to-date quote, please use our [quote form](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/container-quote). #### Do I need planning permission? For temporary use, shipping containers often do not require planning permission. However, if the container is a permanent addition, is located in a conservation area, or is near a road, you may need approval. We recommend consulting [Perth & Kinross Council Planning Department](https://www.pkc.gov.uk/planning) to verify local regulations. #### Can I view the container before purchase? We do not permit customers to browse our depot stacks for safety reasons. However, we can provide current photographs of the specific container allocated to your order. This ensures you are satisfied with the condition and appearance before we dispatch the truck to Perth. #### How do I maintain my container? Shipping containers are designed for harsh environments and require minimal maintenance. We recommend occasionally checking the roof for debris and lubricating the door hinges and locking bars annually. If the paintwork gets scratched, touching it up with metal paint will prevent surface rust. #### Can you deliver to a farm or field? Yes, provided there is hard-standing access. Our trucks cannot drive on soft grass, mud, or loose soil as they will sink. If you need a container in a field, you must provide a suitable trackway or hardstand for the vehicle and the container placement.
