Grading Brochure

How is this container delivered?

The delivery method for your container depends on several factors including your location, site accessibility, and whether you need the container placed in a specific position.

Our team will assess your requirements and recommend the most suitable delivery option. Here are the delivery methods we offer across Tasmania:

  • Hiab Truck

    A HIAB truck is a versatile transport solution designed for lifting, loading, and delivering heavy or oversized items without the need for additional machinery on-site.

    • Combines transport and lifting in one unit (no extra machinery needed)
    • Ideal for moving shipping containers, site sheds, machinery, and heavy equipment
    • Allows precise placement of loads on-site
    • Reduces labour and handling time

  • Semi Tilt Tray Truck

    The most common delivery method for larger units. The truck tilts
    its tray to slide the container off onto level ground.

    • Requires firm, level ground
    • Suitable for most commercial sites
    • Container slides off the back of the truck
    • Most cost-effective option

  • Rigid Tilt Tray Truck

    The most common delivery method. The truck tilts
    its tray to slide the container off onto level ground.

    • Requires firm, level ground
    • Suitable for most residential and commercial sites
    • Container slides off the back of the truck
    • Most cost-effective option

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a 20ft container base?

A: A container base is an open-top flat platform built on the standard 20ft container footprint. Tasbulk's units feature 6mm chequer plate steel flooring, eight stake pockets, and lashing hoops rated to 7.5 tonnes, making them ideal for transporting heavy or oversized equipment.

Q: How is cargo secured on a container base?

A: Cargo is secured using the stake pockets, D-rings, or hoop bars fitted around the perimeter, in combination with ratchet straps, chains, or other approved lashing equipment.

Q: Can a container base be used as a foundation for other containers?

A: Yes. Container bases are commonly used as a stable platform for stacking or connecting with other units on uneven ground.
