Frequently Asked Questions
How are shipping containers transported?
Most 20ft and 40ft containers are moved using tilt tray or side-loading trucks. For tilt trays, the container is winched or rolled onto the back of the tray using heavy-duty chains and ramps.
Once loaded, it’s strapped down and delivered to the new site, where it’s safely tilted off. It’s important that the ground at both ends is flat and stable to avoid issues with loading and unloading.
Do containers need to be empty before transport?
Not always. Containers can be transported while loaded, as long as the total weight falls within legal transport limits and the contents are safely secured. If items inside are loose or unstable, they can shift during transport, which is dangerous. It’s always best to ask your transport provider what’s allowed and recommended based on the job.
Can you transport site sheds or modified containers?
Yes, most modified containers—like site offices, storage sheds or accommodation units—can be moved using the same method as standard containers. Just make sure to mention any modifications (like aircon units, extra height, or solar panels) so the operator can bring the right equipment. These details help prevent clearance issues and damage during the move.
