DELIVERY PROCESS
Carolina Storage Solutions uses a Dodge 5500 four-wheel drive truck (for buildings under 36′) or a tractor trailer (for buildings over 36′). Our trailers range from 24′ – 48′ in size giving us to flexibility to transport several buildings together or a single building up to 60′ long. Many customers are amazed to see that it takes only one of our professional, experienced drivers to unload your barn, shed or garage.
- Building arrives at your property
- Driver backs up to your prepared site
- The trailer is raised, using a hydraulic system, to enable the building to slide off the back.
- Using a winch, built in to the trailer, the driver moves the building about 1/3 down the length of the trailer so that the end is resting on the ground.
- Next the driver slowly pulls forward allowing the rest of the building to slide off the trailer and into position.
- In the event that the building needs to be aligned or re-positioned, our trailers come equipped with a platform on the back. With the back of the building on the ground and the front resting on this platform, the building can be shifted up to 2′ to the left or to the right before being placed completely on the ground.
- After the building leaves the trailer, our driver’s final step is to make sure the building is level and to shim corners as needed.
- Finally, all doors and windows are checked to make sure they operate properly and are not stuck or jammed due to the building being off level or any twisting of the building during set-up.
SITE ACCESS
- Be sure your site is accessible.
- Provide a suitably prepared site with access over a driveway or across, relatively level, solid ground.
- Provide adequate clearance around any trees, plantings or other structures on the property.
- Note: If we can drive straight onto your property, any fence opening or gate needs to be…
- 12′ wide for 10′ wide buildings.
- 14′ wide for 12′ wide buildings.
- Fences or gates 8′ or higher, add 2′ extra.
- Overhead clearance should be 14′.
- 50′ to 60′ minimum drive-away area from the end of the shed after it comes off the end of the trailer. This should be as level as possible from pad site to ground level.
- After the building leaves the trailer, our driver’s final step is to make sure the building is level and to shim corners as needed.
- Finally, all doors and windows are checked to make sure they operate properly and are not stuck or jammed due to the building being off level or any twisting of the building during set-up.
If you are in doubt about your site accessibility, please give us a call and we will either set up a site inspection or you can send us pictures and describe your site to us. We also have a “Shed Mover” available for tight areas. We unload your shed in your driveway and then place dolly wheels under one end and pick up the other end with the “Shed Mover” and move it into place. Call us for details.
And remember, we ALWAYS deliver with a smile….and that’s FREE too!
