They are in excellent cosmetic condition and often feature factory-fitted lockboxes. - **Used (Wind and Watertight):** These containers have been in service with shipping lines for 10-15 years. They will show dents and surface rust, but are guaranteed to be weather-proof. ## Delivery to Skegness We deliver using Hiab vehicles, which feature an integrated crane to lift the container onto your ground. ### Ground Preparation You must prepare the ground before we arrive. The surface must be "hard standing," such as concrete or tarmac. We generally cannot deliver onto grass or soft soil, as the vehicle may sink. ### Access Requirements The delivery truck requires significant clearance to manoeuvre. For a [20ft container](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/20ft-shipping-container), you will need about 60ft of clearance. For a [40ft container](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/40ft-shipping-container), about 110ft of clearance is required. You must also ensure there are no overhead power cables near the delivery spot; drivers may require up to 20 metres of clearance from live cables. ## Planning Permission in Lincolnshire Shipping containers are often classed as temporary structures. However, if you plan to keep the unit for a long period, you should check with the local authority. For Skegness, consult the [East Lindsey District Council planning portal](https://www.e-lindsey.gov.uk/planning). #### How much does a shipping container cost in Skegness?
