How am I going to get the container onto the property?

An empty 20-foot container weighs 2,200kg and is 6m long / a 40ft weighs 3,800 Kgs and is 12m long therefore you need to plan the delivery and placement very well.

Delivery is normally done by a 10 wheel truck and you will need to ensure you have a crane on site ready to lift the containers into place. Please make sure you have suitable room for a large lorry to maneuver and solid ground to avoid getting stuck.

Most areas in Thailand have a crane hire for around THB 6,000 – 10,000 per day.
