Determine the Best Shipping Container Transport Services

You need to know the exact size and weight of the cargo you need the container for, so you can ensure the item or items will fit. Also, the type of freight you are hauling is a major deciding factor in the container style you need. For instance, you need to determine if you need transport for a single heavy item or bulk amounts of small freight. Carefully consider how your cargo will be loaded into and unloaded from the container. In some instances, top loading is necessary, whereas other cargo must be loaded from the side. Then, decide if temperature control is an issue for your freight. If so, refrigerated containers are right for you.


You need to work with an experienced hauling company to determine the best shipping container transport services. For 13+ years, Heavy Haulers has shipped containers nationwide and overseas.


Your dedicated logistics agent will guide you through every step of the shipping container transport process. When you first reach out, we'll ask various questions to understand your container hauling needs better.


For instance, do you need a crane to load your container on the trailer? Do you already have a trailer prepared to ship your container? Is the shipping container loaded or empty?


These questions will help determine the best shipping container transport services. Call now for a container shipping quote! (800) 908-6206

Shipping Container Dimensions for Proper Transport Services

Standard containers measure 20'x 8'x8'6", but 40' and 45' containers have become just as popular, made from 4mm thick steel and square tubing frame. For the container sides, 14 gauge corrugated rolled steel is used. The steel gives rigidity to the shipping container. The construction of the container floor is the same 4mm steel tubing used to create the frame. A 28mm plywood floor is screwed to the cross braces of the container.


The corner posts of a container handle up to 153,000 pounds when as many as nine containers can safely be stacked atop each other, leaving a 7'2"x7'6" door on one end of the stack. A standard empty 20' container weighs around 5,500 pounds and has a maximum payload capacity of 65,000 pounds of cargo.


Containers must be sturdy to carry massive payloads of construction equipment and supplies, heavy machinery, and food items in bulk.


Heavy Haulers is a leading shipping container mover company because we have the knowledge and experience to transport your container efficiently. Based on the dimensions and weight, we'll pair you with the best tractor-trailer, cranes, pilot cars, escorts, or ships available to move your container. Call now! (800) 908-6206
