Axis Storage 18-depot nationwide coverage map
// COVERAGE

Nationwide depot network, 48 states, one quote

Containers ship from the depot hub closest to your delivery ZIP. Standard transit is 5–7 business days from when payment clears. Expedited dispatch is available for time-critical projects on request.

Every quote includes a published delivery fee anchored to the depot-to-ZIP distance — no fuel surcharge added after you sign, no "lift gate" line item, no surprises.

Delivery is performed via tilt-bed truck. The driver places the unit on level ground at your site — for standard placements you do not need a crane or forklift on the day.

Heads up: tilt-bed delivery requires firm, level ground. Soft or sloped sites may need flatbed + Hiab — we'll flag this on your quote.

// SITE PREP

Get your site ready in an hour

Tilt-bed delivery is straightforward, but the driver needs a path and a pad. Run through this checklist before delivery day to avoid a re-delivery fee.

  • Level surface — gravel, concrete, asphalt, or compacted dirt
  • Minimum 100 ft of straight approach for the truck
  • 10 ft of clear width along the approach path
  • 14 ft vertical clearance (watch overhead wires, branches, signs)
  • No soft or muddy ground (truck weight: 30,000–45,000 lbs loaded)
  • Authorized signer present at delivery window

// DELIVERY FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to be present?

An authorized signer needs to be on-site at the delivery window. If that's not possible, you can pre-authorize a contact in writing and provide gate access details.

What if my driveway is too narrow?

We can swap to a flatbed-plus-Hiab (boom truck) for tight residential placements — quoted as an add-on. Send a photo of the approach with your quote request and we'll size it correctly upfront.

Can you deliver to Alaska or Hawaii?

Yes, but on a custom-quote basis. Both require port-of-entry coordination and add 2–4 weeks of transit time.

What happens if access is blocked on delivery day?

If the truck can't safely place the unit, we re-attempt for a flat re-delivery fee. You always have the option to request a depot pickup instead.
