FAQ's for Shipping Containers in London

How easy is it to get shipping containers delivered in London?

Getting a shipping container delivered in London can be straightforward when the right preparations are in place. At Capital Containers, we subcontract all our haulage, which gives us the flexibility to choose the most suitable vehicle for each job. Whether that’s navigating tight city streets or handling more complex sites.

That said, container deliveries do come with some challenges, especially in London where access can be restricted. Our transport team works hard to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, but we always advise checking a few key points in advance:

  • Road and entrance access: Delivery vehicles can be up to 60ft long and 9ft wide, so we need to know if the entrance and approach roads are wide enough, and whether there are low tree branches or obstacles.

  • Ground conditions: Soft or uneven ground can make deliveries tricky, and containers need to sit level to ensure doors open and close properly.

  • Space for positioning: The vehicle needs up to 17ft width to stabilise during offload, so clear space from walls, cables, or trees is essential.

  • Other restrictions: Such as low bridges, weight limits, main road parking rules, or time restrictions.

We provide a checklist to help customers prepare for delivery, reducing the risk of delays or extra costs. As long as any potential access issues are flagged in advance, container delivery in London is usually a smooth and efficient process.
