How To Move A Shipping Container By Yourself At Home

Показать описание

Here's a video I demonstrate the method on how to move a shipping container. All it takes is a Jack to raise the container up off the ground a bit, round wooden fence posts or some other round pipe or post all of equal diameter And something to push the container or pull the container once you have the round posts under it. I have also used an ATV to pull containers using a method similar to this.

Thanks for watching! If you have any questions feel free to comment.

If you're intrested in purchasing a shipping container please see the link below.

I know you are younger than me because I would have walked around the truck lol.
Thanks for your time. You have given me all sorts of ideas on moving my shipping
container into place when I get one.

You can fix those big dents in the side... Just drag in a long 2x6 and lay it flat on the floor, up against the opposite wall... Then take your high lift jack and a short 2x4.. Stick your jack against that 2x6 on the floor and angle it towards the dent--- and use your short 2x4 as the push stick.. and just keep pushing the dent out in different places and working it straight again. With the foot of your jack pushing on that 2x6 on the floor--- it will spread the force out along the entire opposite wall and not damage anything. It's fairly easy to do.. if you have a helper. It probably won't be perfect, but you can get it much closer to normal

I'm going to move my container using this method. Had some years moving drive-up ATM's for Diebold, where we used round barstock steel to do the same thing with about 4, 000 lbs. of ATM. I had the idea to do it this way, based on that. Extremely glad your video is here as proof of concept. I am, however, going to try pulling it with my we'll see. I'll post whether that worked or not. Wish me luck.

Thanks for taking the time to make this clear, concise, and useful video!

We used these same tips for moving a giant safe. You could barely tip it to one side just enough to get some pipes under it. Super heavy, but it still worked. The power of the WHEEL

Good common sense method for moving a container. Thanks for the comment about the safety strap to hold the jack vertically.

I didn't read all of the comments, but if you used 3 or 4 posts, you might be able to move it without jacking it up multiple times. Good video. Not exactly what I was looking for. I need to move a container from one site to another site. I use several lengths of 3-inch "oil field" pipe not sure what else it could be called. I had concerns that the wood posts would break, but I guess they can support the weight as you have just demonstrated. I would consider adding a piece across the front to support the pieces the container rolls over.

As someone else mentioned, you are much more agile than I am. I would have walked around the truck instead of over.
