Modular & Global · Modular buildings
An expandable building may be compact in width, but the longer Montara models are still substantial transport and lifting loads. Delivery planning should start with the final site and work backward through the road route, crane setup and port or depot pathway.
Road width, tight bends, gates, bridges, gradients, overhead lines and local vehicle restrictions can all matter. For island or remote projects, the route may also include port handling, inter-island freight or a depot transfer before the final road journey.
The 30FT pathway is approximately 9 m long when folded and the 40FT pathway approximately 11.8 m. The carrier vehicle makes the total operating envelope longer again, so turning should be reviewed using the actual transport arrangement.
A crane that can lift the building close to the truck may not have the same capacity at a long radius. Setup location, final building position, overhead obstructions and ground conditions should be considered together before the lift plan is approved.
The building should be lifted into the correct deployment orientation. Access for opening the side wings, service connections and any later deck or stair work should therefore be clear on the site plan before the unit reaches the property.
