Yes, overhead power lines can prevent shipping-container delivery. A truck, raised tilt deck, crane boom, rigging or container can enter an unsafe approach zone even without touching the conductor, so the carrier and utility must review the line location and voltage before the route or placement is approved.

Let the carrier assess power-line clearance before dispatch
Show every overhead line and pole along the approach and around the unloading area, including views that reveal sag and surrounding obstacles. Do not estimate safe clearance from a photograph; the carrier and utility must determine whether the planned equipment can work there.
