Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What container sizes can you move?
A: We handle standard 20-, 30-, and 40-foot ISO containers, as well as specialty sizes on request.

Q: Do you need a crane or forklift?
A: Depends on site access. We bring roll-off trucks for drive-up loading or hydraulic cranes/forklifts for lift-on/lift-off jobs.

Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: For best availability and permit lead time, book at least 2–3 weeks before your desired move date. Short-notice moves may incur expedited-service fees.

Q: Can you move containers off-road or on uneven terrain?
A: Yes—we offer site-preparation guidance and bring leveling blocks, ramps, and off-road-capable equipment for challenging jobs.

Q: What if my container is fully loaded?
A: No problem—our equipment and tie-down procedures are rated for fully laden containers. We’ll verify weight distribution and secure your cargo.
