Where to drop a Betabox?

This article will provide you some guidance on how best to select a drop-off location.

Where is a Betabox dropped?

Typically, Betaboxes are dropped off in parking lots nearby an entryway. However, we can also park Betaboxes on fire-grade concrete, brick, and other surfaces.

Areas to avoid:

• Fire lanes. If you must drop a box in a fire lane, you will need to have the location approved by a fire marshal.
• Steep gradients. Unlevel areas will require our driver to use extra blocks to level the facility.
• Grass. While we do in very rare occasions drop boxes in grass due to lack of available alternatives, dropping a box in grass is not recommended. Gross drop locations are highly susceptible to event postponement due to weather, as our drivers will not be able to drop a box on grass in muddy conditions.
• Gravel.
