When ordering a 40ft new refrigerated shipping container, our delivery process is designed for precision and efficiency. We use two truck types based on your site conditions:
- Tilt-bed truck
Ideal for easy offloading, it requires 125ft of straight clear space, 12ft width, and 16ft vertical clearance. - Flatbed truck
Suitable for locations with on-site equipment like a forklift for unloading. This option requires 125ft of straight clear space, 12ft width, and 14ft vertical clearance, and side access to pick up the container. You can use a 15,000 lb forklift to lift the entire container from the truck.
Before delivery, ensure your site has enough room for the truck to maneuver. Containers can be placed in various locations, but the delivery truck needs adequate space to operate efficiently.
- Delivery time
Once your container is ready to be dispatched, delivery is usually within 1-3 business days, depending on location. - Access requirements
Clear delivery path free of obstructions like trees or power lines. - Site prep
We only need room to make the delivery without getting stuck; containers can go anywhere on your site. - Ground conditions
Preferably, the ground should be dry. Notify us if the ground is wet or muddy so we can plan accordingly and prevent the truck from getting stuck.
For specialized delivery needs or site preparation assistance, give us a call at (855) 878-5233. If you have special delivery requests, we’re here to help.

How do I move the container?
The 40ft high cube refrigerated container is an excellent cold storage unit. Here are two different ways to move it around your job site.
- 15,000 lbs capacity forklift with a minimum of 8 ft long forks. This is the best method for completely lifting the container in the air. The 15,000 lbs load capacity will allow you to securely lift the container off the ground, and the 8 ft long forks will provide the minimum length to secure the container without it tipping over.
- A regular 5,000 lbs warehouse forklift will manage to lift the container by one end and drag it. It is not the preferred method, but will work if necessary.
Every new 40ft Refrigerated Storage Container with Thermo King refrigeration comes with comprehensive warranty coverage for both the container and the machinery.
Container Warranty
- The container shell, including structural frame, walls, roof, and doors, is covered by a 10-year limited warranty.
- This warranty protects against structural defects and corrosion under normal operating conditions.
Refrigeration Machinery Warranty
- The Thermo King refrigeration system is backed by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
- Coverage includes the compressor, condenser coil, evaporator coil, electrical control system, and other major refrigeration components.
Warranty Details
- Routine maintenance, consumable parts (such as door gaskets or light bulbs), and issues caused by misuse, accident, or external factors are excluded from coverage.
- Refrigeration machinery warranty service is supported through Thermo King’s nationwide authorized service network.
- Optional extended service plans are available upon request.
