Designed for quick setup and breakdown, the ramp streamlines daily operations without compromising the container’s protective shell.
In a world where job site thefts are unfortunately common, equipping your mobile workshop with built-in security layers isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. With these enhanced features, you’re not just buying a storage unit; you’re investing in:
- Safer job sites
- Lower insurance risks
- Reduced downtime from theft or loss
- Long-term asset protection
🔌 Electrical Features – Plug, Play & Power On
When it comes to creating a mobile workshop that operates like a true industrial facility, electrical readiness is non-negotiable. This 20ft Open Side Tool Container has been outfitted with a full electrical infrastructure, allowing immediate activation upon delivery — no aftermarket retrofitting or additional contractors required.

📍 Delivery & Deployment
At 24/7 Container Inc., we understand that a container is only as good as its delivery. That’s why our 20ft Open Side Tool Container is not only ready for dispatch nationwide — it’s backed by a logistics team that ensures smooth, stress-free placement, whether you’re installing a permanent yard workshop or deploying mobile units across rotating field sites.
Our container delivery process is engineered for efficiency and transparency from quote to offload. We coordinate every step, keeping your operational timeline and site constraints in mind.
🚚 Delivery Methods Available
The container is gently tilted and slid off the truck, placing it directly onto your prepared surface without the need for extra equipment. Best suited for open, flat job sites or permanent installs.
For locations where access is tight — such as fenced enclosures, urban job sites, or yards with overhead obstacles — we offer crane-lift delivery. This method allows precise placement where tilt-bed access isn’t feasible.
If you have your own heavy-lifting equipment (like a forklift or crane), we can arrange flatbed delivery. This method is often used for clients who prefer greater control over exact placement timing or need to coordinate with existing site operations.
📦 Note: Regardless of method, we confirm delivery date, depot origin, and driver contact in advance — ensuring there are no surprises on delivery day.
- Weather Impact: Wet or frozen ground may delay delivery or complicate offloading
- Permits: Some residential or municipal zones may require temporary access or placement permits
- Slope & Drainage: While minor slopes are acceptable, large inclines may require site prep or leveling blocks
- Final Placement: Let us know if you’ll be anchoring the camper, raising it on footings, or connecting utilities on-site — this may affect positioning advice
Our team will work with you pre-delivery to confirm:
- Site photos or videos for risk assessment
- Preferred placement orientation (e.g., door side facing east)
- Offloading options available in your region
- Timing windows for equipment and crew coordination
Every 20ft Custom Camper order includes personalized delivery planning to ensure your unit is placed securely and safely — the first time.
📌 Site Readiness Checklist
To ensure a safe, successful delivery and avoid unexpected costs or delays, we recommend preparing your site according to the following essential guidelines:
Ensure there is a clear path at least 10–12 feet wide to accommodate the truck and container. Wider access may be needed for turning in tighter areas, especially if a crane is involved.
Delivery sites should be level, compact, and firm — such as gravel, asphalt, or concrete. While tilt-bed trucks can handle slight unevenness, unstable ground like loose sand or mud may cause placement issues or require reinforcement.
Check for no overhead obstructions along the delivery path and above the placement site — including power lines, tree branches, building overhangs, or signs.
For crane deliveries, ensure at least 20 feet vertical clearance to allow for safe lifting and placement.
Since this unit features a full-length side opening with a hinged aluminum ramp, reserve clear, unobstructed space adjacent to the container. This allows the ramp to deploy fully, ensuring easy, safe loading/unloading access once the container is operational.
🛠️ Tip: Think beyond just delivery — plan for daily operational use. Make sure there’s enough room for personnel, equipment movement, and ventilation around the container once it’s in place.
🚩 Common Delivery Challenges (And How We Help)
- Tight urban sites
- Rural locations with unpaved surfaces
- Sloped or uneven terrain
- Weather-impacted access (muddy or waterlogged grounds)
Our experienced delivery team can assess your location in advance. If your site has special requirements or restrictions, we’ll suggest solutions — including crane lifting, site mats, or alternative offloading methods — ensuring your container arrives and is installed without disruption.
