No. A JOLT office is mobile and temporarily placed, so you don't need a permit to use one in Summit County, and the same goes for every place JOLT delivers.
Before delivery
- Pick the spot. Choose firm, level, drained ground with about 70 ft of straight approach for a 20 ft unit, or about 100 ft for a 40 ft unit. Keep it clear of where plowed snow will go.
- Plan the door side and the power. Face the door toward a path you can keep shoveled. Base runs on site power; Grid-Free needs none; Alpine adds backup heat and a covered entry.
- Know your zone. Frisco, Breckenridge and Silverthorne are Zone C. Delivery is Zone C — $850 per unit each way (pickup published), and pickup is the same fixed fee.
For storage, see the 20 ft storage container, or reserve yours.
