<div><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">We understand that there are times when you want a container to match your facilities or brand. That's why when you buy a shipping container from us, we give you the option to choose a custom paint job as part of our extensive customization options.</span></span></div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="How do I know which shipping container to purchase?"]</p>
<div>There are several factors to consider when browsing through our cargo shipping containers for sale. One of the most important is determining the size you will need as well as how you will use it. If you’re planning to use it for anything other than shipping, you will most likely want to take advantage of our modification services. If the condition isn’t as important to you, we also offer a wide range of used storage containers for sale that give you the opportunity to save money on your purchase. If you’re overwhelmed by your options, our experts will be happy to guide you through the selection process so you can find the perfect match for your needs.</div>
<div></div>
<p>[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="Where can I get a shipping container delivered?"]</p>
<div>We can have your container delivered almost anywhere, as long as you make sure the space can accommodate it. You’ll need to measure the space, with the general rule of thumb being twice the length of the container plus 10 feet in a straight line. This is to make sure the truck can maneuver and provide roll-off delivery. We also recommend making sure the ground under the container will be level and provide adequate drainage around it. In general, our delivery trucks require 14 feet of height clearance and 12 feet of width clearance along the route. As long as these conditions are met, there’s a good chance we will be able to deliver to you.</div>
<div></div>
<p>[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="Should I go with a new or used/refurbished container?"]</p>
<div>Choosing one of our used shipping containers for sale can be a great way to save some money on your next purchase. If you’re not afraid of some scuffs or dings, choosing a user container can be a great choice. If you’re looking for something customized to your exact specifications, however, you’ll have better luck with a new unit.</div>
<div></div>
<p>[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="When do I need a WWT container?"]</p>
<div>Wind and watertight (WWT) containers are sealed against harsh weather, which makes them ideal for storage situations where they will be kept outside for extended periods of time. With a WWT container, you can rest assured there will be no risk of damage to your goods due to rain, snow, or wind.</div>

<dl class="faq-list">
<dd id="faq_1176_a">Most of our units are designed to be supported on the four corners; hire units do not come with jacklegs as standard (although we can fit these to hire steel cabins for a small weekly charge). We normally level up units on the corners by using pre-cut wooden shims that our drivers keep in stock on the lorry. For individual units hard standing is usually sufficient and our drivers carry enough wood to level up a cabin with a 150mm fall over its whole length for example over a kerbside. We can double stack units on smooth level concrete or tarmac. For units placed on soft surfaces and especially for double stacked units you will need to provide additional purpose-built foundation pads. Requirements vary significantly between sites, products and uses, so please be sure to discuss this with our Business Development team who will arrange a site visit to advise if necessary.</dd>
</dl>
<p>[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="Do we need planning permission?"]</p>
<dl class="faq-list">
<dd id="faq_1175_a">If the unit is being used as part of a construction project on a temporary basis then it is not normally necessary to have planning permission. However if you have any doubt, it’s your responsibility to check with the relevant planning authorities (usually your local council) which is responsible for your area. Regional rules vary so please do not assume that because the container is portable, that you do not require planning permission.</dd>
</dl>
<p>[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="How do we connect the units to services?"]We do not make any electricity, water or waste connections; it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements with a suitably qualified person. For sites which do not have access to water we can supply bowsers and booster pumps, where there is no mains sewage or underground septic tank you will need our waste tank and emptying service and for sites without electrics, we can arrange for a generator . If you do not have any services then you probably need a static or towable welfare unit . Please ask us for further details[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="Can I change or cancel my order?"]Enim adipiscing commodo vestibulum condimentum parturient vulputate gravida phasellus scelerisque tellus lobortis scelerisque hac metus tincidunt mi.</p>

<dl class="faq-list">
<dd id="faq_1172_a">Our drivers carry all health and safety, training and inspection certificates with them in the lorry and they also have a generic risk assessment suitable for most standard delivery operations. Please let our Business Development Advisor know beforehand if you know of any site restrictions or special requirements such as traffic plans, weak or low bridges or obstructions so that we can manage these. Unless otherwise instructed, our drivers will report to the Site Manager on arrival to agree a plan before starting work.</dd>
</dl>
<p>[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="Can you drive across a grass paddock with a lorry?"]We are not normally able to leave made-up ground, tracks or roads, as our lorries have a very high front axle weight as a result of the heavy crane just behind the cab. Please <u><a href="https://baltescontainergmbh.de/contact-us/">contact us</a></u> to discuss your requirements so that we can find a solution.[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="How much does delivery cost?"]Delivery cost is affected by the size and number of units being delivered to a single location, how quickly you need the units and if you are flexible with the delivery date and time. Basically the more time and notice you give us, the greater the chance that you will receive your delivery exactly when you need it at the best possible delivery rate. We are usually booking transport at least three to five days ahead, but at peak times this can be longer.[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="What happens if I am not sure about access to my site?"]We offer a survey service, the cost of which will, in most cases, be refunded if you proceed with the quotation.[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="How do I check if you are able to access our property or business?"]We can obtain a lot of information about access over the telephone and using Google mapping; if we are still not sure, then we will undertake a site visit. The main things that cause us problems are weak or low bridges, overhanging branches and trees, underground services and man holes, overhead cables and electrics and restricted entrances less than 10ft (3m) wide, especially if they are not in a straight-line.[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="How do you deliver?"]All units are delivered by HIAB lorry, with the exception of chemical toilets  and towable welfare units which are towed with a transit-style van. On sites with restricted access, we may need to deliver by alternate means, such as 4WD, forklift, telescopic handler or even man-handling our flat pack range of cabins and storage containers. This will be discussed with the Business Development team when you place your order. See our cabin and container delivery and installation information[/woodmart_accordion_item][woodmart_accordion_item title="Can I collect an item myself or using my own transport?"]When you add the product to the online basket if it’s a stock item designated for Click &amp; Collect you will be given an option to collect rather than pay for delivery. Only items that are fully paid for can be collected and there is usually a small collection fee. We will contact you to agree a collection date and time and you will be given safety information and details so you or your drivers can safely collect your items.[/woodmart_accordion_item][/woodmart_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]</p>
