40FT CONTAINER DELIVERIES
We have a small team of trusted hauliers working for us here in Oxford and the surrounding areas. Deliveries usually take place between 7am-8pm, Monday to Friday, however, we strive to meet your deadlines and requirements in the case of timed deliveries to be as flexible and accommodating to you as possible. Container deliveries include 30 minutes on site for the driver to lift and position your unit. As a rule, the delivery drivers cannot drive over grass or muddy areas. If this is the case for your delivery, we can arrange a site visit to ensure minimum disruption and maximum success. All members of our team have passed their CSCS card test. This means that they are able to visit sites in order to reduce accidents and drive up on-site efficiency.
