πŸš› Delivery Requirements

Delivery is made via flatbed truck or semi-truck depending on Pod size (20-foot or 40-foot units).

Clear, direct site access is mandatory.

    • Minimum road width: 12–14 feet

    • Clearance height: at least 14 feet (no low branches, powerlines, etc.)

    • Adequate space for truck turning, backing up, and safe unloading

    • Hard surface preferred: paved or packed gravel access road

    • Offloading equipment required: forklift with minimum 5,000 lb lift capacity or crane service

βœ… Customers are responsible for ensuring site access and equipment availability before delivery.

"If a semi can’t get in β€” the Pod can’t get in. Site readiness is critical to fast, smooth deployment."
