Delivery across Maine

Maine has the Portland area and southern coast, fishing and boatbuilding towns along the midcoast and Downeast, and wide forest and farm land inland and up north. Containers are used for marine and fishing gear, by contractors, on farms and woodlots, and for seasonal property storage.

We deliver across Maine, from Portland, Biddeford and Lewiston to Augusta, Bangor, the midcoast and Downeast, and inland and northern towns where roads allow. Winter snow, mud season and narrow coastal roads are the main things to plan around.

Every order ships from the yard closest to your address. We deliver by tilt-bed, which sets the container straight onto the ground with no equipment needed, or by flatbed if you have a forklift or crane to unload it. Either way you get one delivered price and one point of contact.

Weather and ground in Maine

Long cold winters, heavy snow and a spring mud season when unpaved roads and yards turn soft. A drained gravel pad keeps the container level, delivery is easiest on firm or frozen ground, and salty coastal air means touching up scratches.

Freeze-thaw and snow

Frozen ground heaves and settles. A compacted, well-drained gravel pad keeps the container level so the doors keep closing properly. Avoid scheduling delivery on soft spring-thaw ground.

Permits and placement rules in Maine

The Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC) must be enforced in any town with more than 4,000 residents. Smaller towns are not required to enforce it, but they may not adopt or enforce any other building code.

Ask your town office or code enforcement officer what applies to a container at your address.

This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by property, so confirm with the office that covers your address before delivery.

Questions about containers in Maine

When can you deliver a container in Maine?

Whenever the road and drop spot are firm. Mud season can make unpaved approaches impassable for a loaded truck, so it is worth planning around it.

What does a container need for a Maine winter?

A level, well-drained gravel base, a plan to keep the door end clear of snow, and vents to cut condensation from cold nights and milder days.

Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Maine?

In Maine, towns over 4,000 people must enforce the state code and smaller towns may not use another one. Ask your town office or code enforcement officer before delivery.
