Block Container Delivery: How It Works

Transport methods, delivery times by region, and a site-readiness checklist for receiving your block container or modular building.

ℹ️
Nationwide delivery: We deliver block containers and modular buildings to any region of Kazakhstan by flatbed truck, with crane offloading arranged on request. Standard delivery within Almaty region takes 1-2 days; other regions 3-7 days depending on distance.

Transport Methods

🚚
Flatbed truck (standard) — most 6×2.4m and 6×3m containers ship as single-load on a standard flatbed, no special permits required.
🚛
Low-loader trailer — used for larger units (9×3m, 12×3m) or units with extra height.
🏗️
Crane offloading — mobile crane positions the container directly on its foundation; arranged with the delivery or separately by the client.

Delivery Times & Costs by Region (from Almaty)

DestinationApprox. distanceDelivery time
Almaty region0–150 km1–2 days
Shymkent / Taraz~700 km2–3 days
Astana / Karagandy~1,000–1,200 km3–4 days
Aktobe / Atyrau / Aktau~2,000–2,800 km5–7 days

Exact delivery cost depends on quantity, route and whether crane offloading is included — we calculate this as part of your quote.

Site Preparation Checklist

Before delivery, make sure your site has:

Foundation ready — point foundations or piles installed and leveled at the correct dimensions.
Access road — clear path for a flatbed truck (and crane, if needed) to reach the placement point.
Clear placement zone — area free of obstacles, with enough clearance for crane operation.
Site contact — someone available on-site to receive and direct the delivery.

Offloading & Crane Requirements

Most containers (up to ~3.5 tonnes) can be offloaded with a standard truck-mounted crane or a mobile crane of 16-25 tonnes capacity. Larger units or stacked installations may require larger cranes — our logistics team assesses this for each order and can arrange crane hire as part of the delivery package.

We handle logistics end-to-end: delivery, crane and offloading can all be included in your quote — one point of contact for the entire process.
