Storage That’s Easy to Move
Shipping containers are great for secure, flexible storage—but actually moving them can be a serious hassle. They're heavy, awkward and not something you want to risk damaging with the wrong gear. That’s why we use tilt tray trucks, which allow us to load and unload containers quickly and safely, even in tricky locations or on uneven ground.
From a site shed that needs relocating, a storage container full of tools or a portable building heading to a new job site, we’ve done it all. Our team is trained to handle these loads with precision, so you don’t have to worry about delays, damage or logistics headaches.
We turn a difficult job into a smooth one—on time, handled with care and backed by years of experience moving bulky gear across the region. Get in touch today and let's get moving.
What types of containers can be transported?
Most tilt tray towing services can transport standard shipping containers (10ft, 20ft and 40ft), as well as portable buildings, site sheds, toolboxes, water tanks and modified storage units. Containers must generally be empty or lightly loaded to stay within weight limits, though some operators can move loaded containers depending on the setup. It's important to confirm dimensions and weight when booking. The more access and surface-level detail you can provide, the smoother the pickup and drop-off will be.
Do I need a crane to load a shipping container?
Not always. If the container is already positioned on firm, level ground and there’s good access, a tilt tray truck can slide the container directly onto the tray without the need for a crane. This makes it faster and more cost-effective. However, if the container is raised, stacked, or in a hard-to-reach spot, a crane or forklift may be needed. Always discuss site layout with the transport provider to determine the best and safest loading option.
Are there size or weight limits for container transport?
Yes, container transport is subject to both size and weight restrictions based on the truck and tray capacity, as well as local road regulations. Standard tilt tray trucks can usually carry up to 6.5–7 tonnes and handle containers up to 7 metres long. Overloaded or oversize containers may require specialised transport or permits. Always provide accurate container specs before booking—this helps avoid delays, ensures legal compliance and keeps the job safe for everyone involved.
