About delivery & pickup
Each delivery boils down to four questions: where the unit goes, the truck's route in, its arrival time and its departure. Answering them by phone beats finding a locked gate, a blocked curb or an unplowed lot when the driver arrives. Describe the site simply, whether it is a job site in the Bronx, a yard in Westchester, a beach parking lot on Long Island or a field along a county route.
New York adds its own wrinkles. Trucks are barred from the parkways, so trips into the city and out across Long Island stick to truck routes and tolled crossings. Open curb space on city blocks is rare, alternate-side rules change it daily, and buildings with a doorman or super may restrict delivery hours or want vendor paperwork ahead of time. Upstate, a long country driveway, a steep grade or a seasonal road can matter more than the miles. Tell us whatever fits your site.
For events, units generally land before the first guest and go after cleanup, inside a window you can cover. For job sites, we collect once the work wraps up or whenever you ask. Exact times and terms are settled by phone; this page does not promise them.
Think about removal as much as drop-off. The same curb, gate and soft patch of grass have to cooperate for removal too. Where a unit sits in the spot a tent or stage will rise, move it before setup. If the event could run long, give us the real finish time so removal does not clash with guests, vendors or the street sweeper.
Access checklist for drop-off and pickup
| Truck width | Allow an opening about 10 ft wide or more for the truck |
|---|---|
| Overhead | Look for low limbs, utility lines, sidewalk sheds and carports on the route |
| Ground | Solid, flat footing; spring mud, deep snow or a soaked lawn can stop a truck |
| Carry distance | Units usually travel the last stretch on a hand truck, so closer is better |
| Where to set them | A flat spot with the door opening onto a clear path, not on a slope |
| Gates and rules | Pass along gate codes, a contact person and any HOA, village, co-op or building rules beforehand |
| City streets | In NYC, curb space, alternate-side parking and DOT permits can affect where a unit goes |
| Timing | Drop-off and pickup windows are set by phone |
These are common industry ranges, not a promise about a particular model. The unit you get, and its exact size and features, is confirmed on the phone.
How many people it serves
Most delivery planning comes down to access. Mark where the unit goes, clear the route, and let us know about anything that might block the truck.
Cleaning and sanitation
Units should show up scrubbed, disinfected, stocked with paper and freshly deodorized. When we pick up, the tank is pumped and the waste taken to a permitted New York disposal site.

Sort these out before booking
Mark the drop point
Cones, tape or a phone photo with a dropped pin take the guesswork out when nobody is around.
Check the surface
Blacktop or packed gravel works best. Thaw mud, soaked lawns and new fill can bog down a truck, so describe the ground to us.
Building and gate details
Give us contact names, gate codes, delivery hours and any vendor forms the building or co-op board asks for.
Snow and ice
Plow the spot and the way in before drop-off or removal, and keep the unit away from where plowed snow gets pushed.
City parking and permits
A NYC street or sidewalk spot can need a DOT permit. Work around street cleaning, hydrants and bus stops.
Seasonal traffic
Summer Fridays heading to the Hamptons and leaf-peeping weekends up the Hudson slow trucks down. Leave some cushion in the window.
Local know-how
New York conditions to plan for
Weather and terrain drive New York deliveries. A winter storm or lake-effect band can shut roads or bury a drop spot overnight, so a plowed, salted approach matters as much as the unit. The spring thaw leaves upstate lawns and fields soft enough to swallow a truck tire, and an early-morning drop before the ground warms can help. In the city the real challenge is somewhere to stop: truck routes, double-parking enforcement, street cleaning and bridge or tunnel limits all shape the timing. Coastal storms can flood low roads on Long Island and in the outer boroughs, so call early if the forecast threatens your dates.
Questions about delivery & pickup
Do I have to be on site when the unit arrives?
Usually not, as long as the spot is agreed and the truck can reach it. Doorman buildings, gated sites and locked lots generally need a contact. We confirm it on the call.
Can you drop a unit at a Manhattan job site or on the street?
Frequently, with some planning. Street placement may require a permit, and the truck needs a legal place to stop. Tell us about the block, building rules and drop spot when you call.
My co-op board wants vendor paperwork. What then?
Send us exactly what the building or board requires before we schedule, and we will tell you straight what we can supply so paperwork does not stall the delivery.
Can I pick when the truck comes?
We will talk through possible arrival windows by phone and fit them around your schedule, traffic and the weather.
What if a snowstorm hits the night before delivery?
Give us a call. Clearing the way in, picking another spot or moving the date may all be options, depending on the site and road conditions.
The yard is soggy on delivery day. Now what?
Phone us right away. Moving the date, switching to firmer ground or laying a pad may work; which one makes sense comes down to your site and the forecast.
