Frequently Asked Questions
Can crane trucks move both 20ft and 40ft shipping containers?
Yes, most crane trucks can move 20-foot containers easily, and some are equipped to handle 40-foot containers depending on weight and access. It's essential to know the size, load condition, and delivery requirements beforehand so the right truck and lifting equipment can be dispatched. Central crane trucks can lift, transport and place containers with precision to suit your needs.
How much space is needed for a crane truck to deliver a shipping container?
Crane trucks require a reasonable amount of space to operate safely — not just for the truck itself, but also to extend stabilisers and operate the crane arm. Generally, a flat, stable surface with at least 3–4 metres width and 6–10 metres in front and behind the truck is recommended. Narrow lanes or areas with overhanging powerlines may limit access and should be discussed ahead of time.
Can shipping containers be placed on uneven or sloped ground?
It’s possible to place containers on slightly uneven ground, but extremely sloped or unstable surfaces can pose risks to safety and container integrity. If the site is not level, it's important to prepare a stable base such as timber sleepers, concrete pads or compacted gravel. Proper planning and advice from your crane truck operator can ensure the container is placed securely and won’t shift or settle unevenly.
